<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-what-39s-a-channel" href="#q-what-39s-a-channel"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: What&#39;s a channel?</h4>
<p>Channels are a tool for broadcasting <strong>public</strong> messages to large audiences. In fact, channels can have an unlimited number of subscribers. When you post in a channel, the message is signed with the channel&#39;s name and not yours. You can appoint additional administrators to help you manage the channel. New subscribers can see the entire message history in a channel once they join.</p>
<p>If you&#39;d like an example, join our official <a href="https://telegram.me/telegram">Telegram</a> channel to get notified about our updates.</p>
<p>To create a channel:<br><em>iPhone:</em> Start a new message (tap the icon in the top-right corner in Chats). Then New Channel.<br><em>Android:</em> Tap the circular pencil icon in the chat list. Then New Channel.<br><em>Windows Phone:</em> Tap the + button on the bottom bar. Then New Channel.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-how-are-public-and-private-channels-different" href="#q-how-are-public-and-private-channels-different"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: How are public and private channels different?</h4>
<p>Public channels have a username. Anyone can find them in Telegram search and join. Private channels are closed societies you need to be added by the owner or get an invite link to join.</p>
<p>Please note that private channels with publicly available invite links will be treated in the same way as public channels, should it come to <a href="https://telegram.org/faq#q-there-39s-illegal-content-on-telegram-how-do-i-take-it-down">content disputes</a>.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-what-can-administrators-do" href="#q-what-can-administrators-do"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: What can administrators do?</h4>
<p>The <strong>owner</strong> of a channel can broadcast messages, delete any messages, add subscribers (<a href="#q-how-do-i-add-people-to-my-channel">the first 200 only</a>), remove subscribers, change the channel&#39;s name, profile image and link, as well as delete the channel completely. The owner can also add and remove administators to help manage the channel.</p>
<p>You can set up <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/admin-revolution#admin-rights"><strong>administrator rights</strong></a> for each individual administrator when you appoint them.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-what-happens-if-i-delete-a-message" href="#q-what-happens-if-i-delete-a-message"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: What happens if I delete a message?</h4>
<p>If a message is deleted in a channel, it will disappear for all subscribers.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-how-do-i-add-people-to-my-channel" href="#q-how-do-i-add-people-to-my-channel"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: How do I add people to my channel?</h4>
<p>As the channel&#39;s owner, you may invite the first 200 subscribers to your channel. Once the subscriber count reaches 200, the channel is on its own. If it&#39;s a public channel, it will have a username and a telegram.me/ link (e.g. <a href="https://t.me/telegram">t.me/telegram</a>) you can post this link on social networks, advertise it in magazines, or tattoo it on your back. If you have a private channel, you can send an invite link to your friends. </p>
<p>Please do not send channel links (or other unsolicited messages) to strangers. If they report spam from your account, you may be banned from contacting other people, however good your intentions.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-what-does-the-eye-icon-mean" href="#q-what-does-the-eye-icon-mean"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: What does the eye icon mean?</h4>
<p>Each post in a channel has a view counter. Views from forwarded copies of your messages are also included in the total count. This way you can see how far it has spread.</p>
<p>Please note that these numbers are approximate — we don&#39;t want to keep a record for everything you&#39;ve ever viewed. After a short while (around 4 days), Telegram will forget that you&#39;ve seen a post and will count you again if you navigate to it. For this reason you may see several views for posts in a private channel where you are alone.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-how-do-i-know-who-posted-a-message" href="#q-how-do-i-know-who-posted-a-message"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: How do I know who posted a message?</h4>
<p>As the owner of the channel, you can enable admin signatures that users will see next to the view counters. These signature only mention the name of the administrator and no link to their profile.</p>
<p>If the signatures are disabled, there is no way for users to know whether a message was posted by the owner or one of the administrators.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="q-are-there-any-feedback-options" href="#q-are-there-any-feedback-options"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Q: Are there any feedback options?</h4>
<p>You can add a <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/privacy-discussions-web-bots#broadcasts-meet-group-chats">discussion group chat</a> to the channel, and your subscribers will see a <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/filters-anonymous-admins-comments">comment button</a> for each post in the channel. Comments show up in a thread of their own and also land in the discussion group to keep everyone in the loop and make it easier for admins to keep the conversation civil.</p>
<p>You can also use bots (e.g. the <a href="https://t.me/like">@like</a> bot) to add buttons to your posts.</p>
