Telegram is a popular messaging platform that boasts of being the most secure protocol among its competitors.
Telegram stands out for its group chats feature because it allows users to create larger groups with up to 200,000 members, which no other messaging app offers.
You can invite people to join your group chat by sending an invitation link.
Anyone with a link can conveniently join your group.
Do you want to know how?
Tap on the invite link that you received. The Telegram app with the group window will pop up. Tap the “Join” button at the bottom to become a group member.
Let’s explore how to get a Telegram group link to share with others and join any group using that link.

On Telegram, you can create two kinds of groups; private and public. Private groups have private content viewable to the members only.
These can only be joined using the invitation link.
