After creating a Telegram group, you’d want to have like-minded individuals with common goals or interests as members. You can add members from your contacts or through a username search. Telegram also lets you invite users to join groups using a link. This tutorial will show you how to share Telegram group links from the messaging app.
Specifically, you’ll learn to share and access invite links for a public and private group as a creator/owner or member. The instructions below apply to the Telegram app on Android, iPhone, iPad, Telegram Web, and Telegram Desktop.
What Are Telegram Group Links?
Think of invite links as keys that grant people access to your Telegram group. With invite links, you can add people to groups without their phone number or username. If you want people to join your Telegram groups from other platforms, sharing an invite link is the way to go.
Note: “Channels” and “Groups” on Telegram are two different features/tools. The steps for sharing a Telegram channel link and group link are distinct. Our tutorial on creating Telegram channels has instructions on sharing a channel link.

Likewise, you can send the invite link to prospective members or groups on a different messaging app or platform—WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, etc.
Social media is another excellent promotional medium. Share your Telegram group invite link on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or X (formerly Twitter). Use paid ads to promote content (posts, stories, videos, etc.) containing your Telegram group links for even further reach.
Use forums and community-based platforms like Reddit, Quora, and Discord to your advantage. Sharing your Telegram group links in the right communities is an effective way to grow membership.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
Promoting your Telegram group links responsibly is important, especially when using other social media platforms or messaging apps. Don’t spam people with your group links and promote them without violating the platforms’ terms and conditions, rules, community guidelines, etc. People could
Additionally, don’t promote or share content in your group that violates Telegram’s Terms of Service. This includes content that promotes violence, bullying, hate speech, scams, illegal pornography, etc.
Finally, when promoting groups to prospective members, be honest about their details or offerings. Don’t trick people into joining your group by overselling or promising inexistent benefits. People could report your group, and your account/group might get restricted as a result.
Advantages of Growing Your Telegram Group in 2024
A Telegram group can have as many as 200,000 members. If your Telegram group is for business purposes, growing the group allows for intimate interactions with existing or prospective clients. Additionally, growing your Telegram group can help reduce your marketing spend for new and existing products or services.
Telegram groups can be the perfect medium for seeking genuine customer/product reviews, conducting surveys, getting product ideas, sharing news or announcements, and driving traffic to your blog or website. The more group members you have, the more website visits you can expect.

If too many Telegram users join your group because you shared the link publicly, you can revoke the link and prevent more people from joining.
