News

Quieres borrar a un desconocido de una foto de vacaciones, devolverle nitidez a una imagen familiar vieja o tener un avatar que parezca sacado de una película. Instalar un editor para una sola imagen es exagerado, y en Telegram los bots de IA lo hacen directo en el chat.

Elegimos diez del catálogo de Nidium según el público y la tarea. Los primeros cinco dibujan y editan a partir de un texto, dos se encargan de retratos y plantillas, y los últimos tres arreglan fotos que ya tienes.

Por qué Telegram está lleno de bananas

Nano Banana es un modelo de Google para generar y editar imágenes. Decenas de bots se conectan a él, así que el mismo nombre aparece con distintos desarrolladores y a distintos precios.

• 🍌 Un modelo, muchas cajas. Los bots revenden el acceso a una IA ajena con sus propios límites y precios.
• 💸 Casi todos usan una moneda interna: energía, créditos o tokens.
  • Una imagen cuesta menos que un video.
  • Animar una foto suele ser lo más caro.
• La calidad cambia. Depende de qué versión del modelo haya conectado el dueño este mes.

💡 Prueba los bots con la misma foto y el mismo prompt. Con diez minutos y las generaciones gratis de bienvenida basta para descartar a los débiles antes de pagar.

Los diez de un vistazo

Dibujar y editar con un prompt

PROTOGEN: el todoterreno más grande

Un solo menú reúne generación de arte, animación de fotos, ediciones simples de video y efectos de moda. Es el bot más grande de la lista, así que en horas pico habrá cola.

• 🎨 Va bien para: una tarjeta con una foto familiar, un retrato en movimiento, un clip para historias.
• ⚡ Pago: energía dentro del bot, con un poco gratis para quienes llegan. El video gasta más que una imagen.
• ⚠️ Punto débil: a veces fallan los dedos, los letreros y los detalles pequeños.

Matrix Ai: imágenes para la tendencia del día

El bot promete generaciones de moda con un clic: plantillas, ideas y textos para publicaciones. Todo funciona en una mini app, y los precios y la lista de modelos solo se ven dentro de ella.

• 📱 Para: creadores de contenido que no logran seguirle el paso a las tendencias.
• Extra: borradores de textos y publicaciones sobre el tema del día.
• ⚠️ Ten en cuenta: muchas plataformas piden etiquetar el contenido hecho con IA.

NanoBanana: editar fotos con una frase

Sube una foto y escribe qué cambiar: quitar a un transeúnte, repintar un auto, cambiar el cielo. Las imágenes salen del modelo de Google y los clips, de Veo 3.

• 🛠️ Cuatro modos:
  • edición por texto;
  • animación de fotos;
  • restauración de fotos viejas;
  • generación desde cero.
• 🎁 Para empezar: las reseñas hablan de unas cinco generaciones gratis para los nuevos, y una galería de ejemplos muestra prompts que funcionan.
• ⚠️ Contra: el modelo puede retocar rasgos del rostro que no le pediste tocar.

Nano Banana Pro: un editor con decenas de modelos

Aquí cambias entre tres versiones del modelo de Google, y el menú abre todo un conjunto de otras herramientas de IA. Es práctico si no quieres cinco bots para cinco tareas.

• 🖼️ Imágenes: Nano Banana, Flux, Seedream, GPT Image y un comando para ampliar.
• 🎬 Video y sonido: Kling, Veo 3, Sora 2, canciones, texto a voz y traducción de video.
• 💸 Dinero: saldo en tokens. Prueba un par de generaciones con una recarga pequeña.

Midjorobot: Midjourney en un solo chat de Telegram

El bot reúne Midjourney, los modelos de video Kling, Runway, MiniMax y Sora, además de ChatGPT y Suno. Apunta a usuarios de habla rusa y acepta tarjetas rusas.

• ⏱️ Plan gratis: generaciones diarias, pero la cola gratuita es lenta: de 5 a 15 minutos según las reseñas.
• 💳 De pago: suscripción de 30 días y paquetes de generaciones. Los precios actuales aparecen en la pantalla de pago.
• 💡 Consejo: Midjourney prefiere prompts en inglés, así que pídele a ChatGPT, en el mismo bot, que amplíe el tuyo.

Retratos y plantillas

Lexy: una sesión de fotos sin estudio

Envía selfis normales, elige un look o un set de fotos listo, y el bot te devuelve un retrato de estilo de estudio. La gente lo usa sobre todo para avatares y perfiles profesionales.

• 🎯 Elección de modelo: el bot funciona con varios modelos de IA, y la misma foto se ve distinta en cada uno.
• 📸 La foto original decide:
  • luz de día y el rostro completo en el encuadre;
  • sin lentes oscuros y sin filtros.
• 💸 Pago: algunas generaciones son de pago y se pueden recargar desde el menú.

Vibeek: tu foto con un estilo de moda

La mini app redibuja tu foto a partir de una plantilla: el rostro y la pose son tuyos, la escena y la luz vienen de la plantilla. ¿Cansado de plantillas? Escribe tu propio prompt.

• ✨ Ventaja: no tienes que inventar una descripción, la escena ya está lista.
• 💰 Precio: las generaciones salen de un saldo dentro de la app, y el costo por imagen cambia según el modelo.
• 🔒 Regla: sube solo tus propias fotos o las de personas que estén de acuerdo.

Arregla las fotos que ya tienes

PhotoFixerBot: ampliación en dos pasos

Pulsa iniciar, envía una foto y recibe una versión más nítida y más grande. También hay un comando inverso que reduce una imagen demasiado pesada.

• 🔍 Sobre el resultado: la IA dibuja detalles verosímiles, así que obtienes una reconstrucción, no el original.
• Consejo: no pases la misma foto dos veces, cada pasada la vuelve más plástica.

Improve Photo: archivos familiares y fotos viejas de graduación

Activo desde 2022, el bot mejora la nitidez, amplía, corrige el color y restaura rostros. Su autor pasó a un modelo más nuevo para que los rostros de fuentes malas se vean más naturales.

• 📷 Envía como archivo: así Telegram no comprime ni el original ni el resultado.
• ⚠️ Límite: en una foto muy antigua el rostro puede salir un poco distinto, así que no lo uses para documentos.

Image Background Removal: un producto sobre fondo limpio

Envía una imagen y el bot te devuelve el sujeto sin fondo. Sirve para anuncios en marketplaces, un avatar sencillo o un collage.

• ✂️ Funciona mejor con: un solo sujeto, luz pareja y un fondo de otro color.
• ⚠️ Más difícil: cabello, pelaje, vidrio y cables delgados.
• Guarda como archivo: de lo contrario se pierde la transparencia.

Rostros ajenos y tu dinero

Los diez bots envían las fotos a servicios de terceros para procesarlas. Unos cuantos hábitos te ahorran problemas.

1. Sube solo tus propias fotos o las de personas que dieron su consentimiento.
2. Evita documentos, fotos de niños de álbumes privados e imágenes íntimas.
3. No hagas falsificaciones que puedan pasar por reales.
4. Recarga en montos pequeños hasta saber cuánto cuestan tus tareas habituales.

⚠️ Muchos bots se llaman Nano Banana. Antes de pagar, asegúrate de haber abierto el que elegiste: lo más fácil es usar el botón de su tarjeta en el catálogo.

Para una foto al mes bastan las generaciones gratis de PROTOGEN o NanoBanana. Para trabajar con fotos y video con regularidad, un todoterreno como Nano Banana Pro o Midjorobot sale más barato que suscribirte a tres bots distintos.

Two years ago every second friend in your feed was inviting you to "tap a coin before it is too late". Today half of those invites sit in an archive.

A few games still open tens of thousands of times a month. Here are five tap games from our catalog and an honest look at what is left of them.

How the tap game bubble popped

In 2026 the format exploded: tap the screen, collect points, invite friends, wait for a token drop. Sign-ups hit the hundreds of millions. Hamster Kombat's token launched on TON in September 2026, Catizen's CATI that month. People expected big money and got small change.

Roundups describe a sharp drop in interest. One estimate has Hamster Kombat's audience falling from about three hundred million to thirteen. Treat that carefully: online lists chase traffic and copy each other. The conclusion matches everywhere: pure tapping has run its course.

• 📉 Tokens: rewards disappointed, and prices of tokens from similar projects have mostly sagged since.
• 🎮 Depth: beyond the button, the games have little in them.
• 🤖 Farming: multi-accounts and auto-clickers devalued honest players' effort.

💡 In 2026 a tap game works as a five-minute pastime, not a side income. Treat it that way and the risk stays small.

Games got more careful with promises. "Airdrop" used to be the headline, and now descriptions talk about gameplay and mention a token with caveats. Check the wording inside the bot and the project's official channel, not in retellings from chats and short videos.

Five games from the catalog

Boinkers: slots and a memecoin parody

A chaos game that mocks the memecoin race while inviting you to join it. It is free and opens as a mini app via /start.

• 🎰 How it plays: slots and spins, with rewards depending on what lands. Friends speed up collecting, and points are tied to a future drop of the $BOINK token.
• 👤 Fits you if you like thrill with humor. Set a limit, say ten minutes a day.
• ⚠️ Downside: the slot mechanic hooks, so do not put in money expecting a return. Payment questions go to /paysupport.
• 🔒 Auto-clickers break the rules and need access to your Telegram session. That is a quick way to lose the account.

Catizen: cats that merge into bigger cats

A cat game from Pluto Studio on the TON blockchain. You merge two identical pets into a higher level cat, and it earns more in-game currency.

• 🐱 Inside:
  • two currencies: vKITTY and the premium FishCoins
  • quests, invites and clubs
• 📌 Token story: CATI came out in September 2026, reviewers report that many players found the rewards underwhelming, and interest dipped after launch.
• 🎯 Why open it: merging is a pleasant way to fill a couple of minutes in a queue. Do not come for income, and lower expectations at once.
• 🔒 Wallet: connect one you use deliberately and never share the seed phrase.

Yescoin: a swipe instead of a tap

Coins fall onto the screen and you collect them with a swipe, like in fruit slicing games. Two visits a day are enough.

• 🛠️ Setup: energy upgrades, quests, friends and a robot called YesPac that collects coins while you are away.
• ✅ Honesty: the bot description says plainly that the YES token is not released yet. In-game coins are points, not cryptocurrency, and there is no confirmed listing date.
• ⚠️ Traps: articles with "listing predictions" are often old texts with a refreshed date, and links saying "claim YES right now" lead to phishing.
• 👤 Works as a light casual game and fails as an earnings plan.

Tomarket: a farm whose airdrop is over

A tomato farm, a mini game with falling tomatoes, a daily box and a tree you can "dig" for stars every six hours. These stars are internal points, not Telegram Stars, which are bought with real money.

• ⏱️ Airdrop timeline:
  • 31 October 2026: balance snapshot
  • 20 December 2026: TOMA trading began
  • 3 January 2026: token claims closed
• ⚠️ Scams: it is too late for a free token, and messages about an "early claim" are fraud.
• 💸 Paid parts: medals and boosts for TON or Stars do not guarantee income.
• 🎯 What remains: daily visits and leaderboards. Use a separate wallet without your main savings.

Hamster Kombat: GameDev, the hamster opens a studio

The famous hamster changed careers: now you run a studio that releases games. Taps, upgrade cards, daily combos, ciphers and passive income that builds for hours. By audience it is the liveliest of the five, with over three hundred thousand monthly users.

• 🎁 Free: you can play without spending, only slower.
• 💸 Paid part: gold bars, a premium currency bought with Telegram Stars, which means real money. Set a monthly cap, because small purchases in clickers add up.
• 🔒 Fakes: a popular game attracts many, so launch it only from the official bot with the verification badge.
• 📌 Verdict: the earlier HMSTR drop disappointed many, so treat GameDev as a slow economy simulator. Of the five, it is arguably the most honest in how it presents itself.

The five games side by side

Telling a game from a wasted evening

1. 🎮 Is there a game at all. If the whole process is one button, interest vanishes within a week.
2. 🪙 What is said about the token. Honest projects state whether it exists, as Yescoin does. A vague "listing soon" with no date is a warning.
3. 💸 What participation costs. Free entry is normal, while paid boosters and medals do not reliably pay off.
4. 🔒 Who asks for data. A game never needs your seed phrase, and support never messages first.
5. 🔗 Where the link came from. Check the official bot's username, since fakes differ by one letter.

Safety in five rules

• Connect a separate wallet with a minimal balance.
• Skip auto-clickers and scripts: they break the rules and take over your account access.
• Never buy game currency from strangers in chats.
• Pay only inside Telegram and use the payment support of the bot itself.
• Set a timer for play time and a monthly spending cap.

⚠️ Slots, prize boxes and "luck" mechanics affect the mind more than they seem to. If you feel the pull to put in money to "win it back", close the app.

Treated as five-minute mobile games, Catizen and GameDev offer a bit more gameplay, Yescoin fits into a day most easily, and Boinkers runs on humor. None of the five promises income: the only thing you put in is time.

A friend shows you their profile: a numbered gift with a rare backdrop and pattern. Yours holds a plain teddy bear. Ten minutes later you are reading about cases, NFT upgrades and selling things for Stars.

Mini apps have grown around gifts, and some raffle them, some spin them in a reel, some send them into a fight. Here is how that works and where the money hides.

Where collectible gifts came from

Gifts arrived in autumn 2026. In early 2026 they became upgradeable to collectibles: each has a number, model, backdrop and pattern, and lives on the TON blockchain. Telegram then added a marketplace where they sell for Stars.

• January 2026: a collectible can be worn as an emoji status, and the profile picks up an effect and a backdrop in its colors.
• 🛠️ February 2026: crafting. Up to four gifts merge into one rarer gift, with the outcome decided by probabilities.
• 📌 Scale: there are over a hundred collections now.

The market cooled after its peak. Third-party trackers showed trading volumes for popular collections falling in early 2026. Top pieces sold for tens of thousands of dollars, but those are single cases.

What sets a gift price

A regular gift is cheap to buy and converts back to Stars at a loss. Upgrading to a collectible costs money too, and sources quote different amounts, so check the figure inside Telegram itself.

• 🎯 Rarity comes from model, backdrop, pattern and number. A low number with a rare backdrop is worth more, though that is taste and demand.
• 💸 Judge a case win by recent sales of similar gifts on the marketplace, not by the prize description.
• ⚖️ Income from digital assets and gambling are regulated differently from country to country. For sizable sums, check the rules where you live.

💡 Three of the four apps below run on chance and one runs on strategy. That gap matters more than any interface.

Four apps: reels, a wheel and an arena

Gift Go: a reel hundreds of thousands spin

The most widely used app on the list, with hundreds of thousands of monthly users. You pay a little, tap a button, the reel spins and a prize appears.

• ✅ Inside: cases with a shot at a rare gift.
  • Public descriptions say little about the rules.
  • Read the odds and the prize list in the app before your first payment.
• ⚠️ Downside: most prizes are worth less than the case, or the service would not last.
• 🔒 Permissions: if the bot asks to manage your gifts and Stars through Telegram Business, say no.
• 👤 Fits you if you accept gambling mechanics and set a budget first.

Easy Gift: cases with a demo mode

Cases for Stars with gifts of different value inside, collectibles among them. There is one free case a day and a demo that shows the mechanics at no cost.

• 🎁 Plus: you can practice in the demo and pay nothing.
  • A won gift can be kept, sold or moved to your account.
  • Check its real price on the Telegram marketplace, which is often lower than hoped.
• ⚠️ Fair warning: the free case usually returns a couple of Stars and a collectible drops rarely. Catalogs file the app under gambling.
• 💸 Refunds: spent Stars do not come back.
• 👤 Best for: anyone trying cases with the demo and a hard limit.

Gift Spinner: a wheel for every day

A daily wheel and cases, a collection of won gifts, trading with friends and a leaderboard. No sign-up, everything runs inside Telegram, and around 150 thousand people use it monthly.

• 🎁 Free: the daily tries. If you stay on those, it is a calm two-minute game.
• ⚠️ Where it shifts: the app offers extra tries or cases for Stars, TON or gifts. From there the mechanics lean toward gambling and the odds are unclear.
• 📌 Price check: ordinary gifts are worth little, collectibles noticeably more, so compare with the marketplace.
• 👤 Fits you if you want a light routine and plan to pay nothing.

Gift Kombat: your gift enters the arena

The only app here where the result depends on more than luck. A collectible gift becomes a fighter, and you decide where to put the experience.

• 🛠️ How it plays:
  1. Pick a gift as your fighter.
  2. Spend experience on strength, speed or a special move.
  3. Find artifacts and fight other players.
• ⏱️ Pace: fights are short and a few minutes is enough. There is a chest hunt and a ranking.
• 🔒 Before you start: you need at least one gift upgraded to an NFT. The bot's help command explains how to link it. Read that first and understand what stays in your profile.
• ⚠️ Downside: rewards are promised but income is not, and gift prices and reward rules change. The project began as an alpha test, with news in its official channel.

Seven rules that protect your Stars

In cases you pay for randomness and lose on average. In battles you risk time and a gift, and your choices affect the outcome, though chance remains.

1. ⏱️ Budget: an amount you can afford to lose. Hit the limit, close the app.
2. 🎯 No chasing: a losing streak does not improve the next opening.
3. 📌 Odds: if the prize list and probabilities are hidden, stop.
4. 💸 Prize versus case price: check the marketplace, not the shiny picture.
5. 🔒 Permissions: never give a third-party bot control of gifts and Stars.
6. 🛠️ Bot name: lookalikes are everywhere, so compare names.
7. ⚠️ Private messages: a request to send a gift for a check or a bonus is a scam.

Parents: teenagers pick up these mechanics fast. See if your child has linked payment methods, and explain that a random prize is not income.

⚠️ Stars bought in Telegram cannot officially be cashed out. A collectible sells for Stars on the built-in marketplace or moves to NFT platforms through TON, and its price can fall faster than it rose.

Once a week, open your spending history and compare it with what you won. The numbers sober you up better than any advice.

A colleague sends a six minute voice message while you sit in a meeting without headphones. Or you need a clip for a story and have nothing to film. Telegram has AI bots for each of these jobs, and each is good at one thing.

Here are six of them, sorted by task: images, video, voice generation, voice transcription and general chat. No single winner exists, so pick by scenario.

What shifted in the past year

• 🎬 Video with sound. Models like Veo 3 produce a clip with footsteps, wind, music and spoken lines in one file. Clips run about eight seconds, enough for an ad insert or a meme, not for a film.
  • Describe the scene in detail: who is in frame, where, what happens, what we hear.
• 🎙️ Transcription inside Telegram. Telegram Premium includes voice message transcription and short summaries. If you already pay for it, a separate bot only earns its place with long recordings, file export or translation.
• 🔁 Reseller bots. Many sell access to other companies' models behind their own checkout and limits. Prices drift, and quality depends on which model the owner plugged in this month.

💡 Compare bots on the same material: one photo, one phrase to voice, one voice message from a work chat. Ten minutes is enough to cross out the wrong ones.

Six bots for six jobs

PROTOGEN: images and photo animation

One menu for art from a description, photo animation, simple video editing and trending effects. It has over 700 thousand active users a month, so expect a queue at peak hours.

• ✅ Does: draws from text and animates photos
  • each action costs energy, and video costs more than a picture
  • newcomers get a starter amount, enough for a few tries
• 👤 Fits: greeting cards, gifts and blog covers
• ⚠️ Downside: fingers, signs and small details sometimes come out wrong, and you cannot control every pixel
• 🔒 Data: the bot asks you to accept its terms and personal data policy first. Upload only your own pictures, never documents

VEO3 Video Generation: clips with sound

This bot connects to Veo 3 and turns a description into a short clip with audio. The interface is in Russian and runs from a menu. The balance is counted in videos: one generation spends one.

• 🎯 Best results: name the characters, place, action, camera move and sound
  • keep spoken lines short and in quotes
• 🛠️ Maker: an independent developer, not the model's creator. The audience is modest, about 19 thousand a month, and support goes through the profile contact
• 💸 Caution: buy the smallest pack and make one test clip first

Musebox AI: video as a mini app

Another text to video generator, packaged as a mini app. You can try it free, then it runs on credits or a subscription, possibly paid in Telegram Stars. Current prices show inside the app.

• 🎁 Free attempts: spend them on testing wording
  • the description says little about the model or clip length
  • build a complex story from several short clips
• 📌 For ads: read the terms of use before publishing

Silero TTS: a voice for any text

The bot comes from a team that builds its own speech synthesis models. It has more than 2,500 voices in Russian and English.

• ✅ Settings: voice, HD quality, pace and tone through commands
  • the answer can arrive as a file
  • it can revoice your own voice messages and video circles
• 👤 Used by: video authors, channel admins, people training their English ear
• ⏱️ Limits: the free mode caps the number and length of clips, a subscription lifts the caps
• ⚠️ Ethics: do not pass a synthetic voice off as a real person

Voicy: voice messages and circles to text

The most down to earth bot here. Forward a voice message, audio file, video or circle and text comes back.

• ✅ Does: recordings up to eight hours, a short summary, translation
  • export to Word, PDF, TXT and Markdown
  • turns an ordinary video into a circle and sends voice memes from the input line
• 💸 Price: the first minute is free, then Voicy Pro
• 🔒 Privacy: source files are deleted within a day, text is kept up to thirty days. Keep passwords, card numbers and medical details out

FLik AI Bot: everything in one chat

GPT dialogue, images through Midjourney and DALL·E, video through Kling, Luma and Hailuo, face swap and audio tools. The subscription lives in the bot's shop, with promo codes and a referral program.

• ✅ Plus: no hunting for a separate service per task
• ⚠️ Minus: you depend on one intermediary, its prices and its limits
  • the audience is far smaller than the leaders here and we found no independent reviews
  • start with the free start and small payments
• 🔒 Faces: swap faces only in your own photos or with the consent of the people shown

Keeping your money and data safe

1. Name the task first: transcription, voice, images and video need different models.
2. Spend starter energy, the free minute and trial attempts on your own material.
3. Buy the smallest pack. Balances in energy, clips or credits are hard to refund, so skip months of prepayment.
4. Read what the bot says about data: an uploaded photo or audio file lands on someone else's server.
5. If you publish a generated clip or voice, tell your readers.

⚠️ Animating or swapping a face without consent violates that person's rights and may be illegal. A chatbot sounds convincing even when wrong, so check figures and dates against a primary source.

Voicy for voice messages, Silero for narrating posts, PROTOGEN for pictures, the Veo 3 bot for video with sound. Keep Musebox for experiments and FLik AI Bot for comparing models. Pay only for what survived the free tests.

You open the payment sheet on your iPhone and the price of Stars is higher than what a friend on Android paid last week. The price depends on where you pay, and a crowd of resellers lives off that gap.

Here is where the gap comes from, which ways of buying exist, and what to expect from four catalog apps that touch Stars. The lowest price is rarely the calmest option.

Where the price gap comes from

Stars are Telegram's internal currency. People spend them on gifts, paid posts, channel subscriptions and mini app purchases, and creators cash out what they collect.

• 💸 Paying inside the phone app: Apple or Google keeps a store commission, and it is baked into the pack price.
  • That is why the same pack costs more on iPhone.
  • Telegram also has routes that skip the app stores: no platform fee, lower price.
• ⭐ Premium: a store subscription costs more, while a yearly plan or other payment methods save money.
  • Sums change by country and by month.
  • Trust the price Telegram shows at checkout over a figure from someone's article.

Stars are routine now: paid channels, games and bots charging in Stars surprise nobody. Demand brought sellers who add a small margin and still undercut the store.

⚠️ The word Stars in a bot name guarantees nothing. Behind it can be an honest seller, an ad funnel or a copy of a known service.

StarBuy: cheaper Stars, paid in TON

A mini app for buying Stars. Enter the amount and the recipient, pick a payment method and wait for the credit. No passwords or SMS codes, only the recipient's username. About a hundred thousand people open it each month.

• ✅ Does: sells Stars at a discount.
  • The service claims up to 30% off when paying in TON. That is its own figure, so compare the final sum before paying.
  • Also sells premium emoji and runs giveaways in the project channel.
• 👤 Fits you if you buy Stars every month and accept trusting a middleman.
• ⚠️ Downside: a TON transfer cannot be undone, disputes go to the seller's support only, independent reviews are scarce.

💡 Start with an order of 50 or 100 Stars and keep a screenshot of the payment.

The free Stars and Gifts bot: Stars for subscriptions

It promises Stars and gifts for tasks and invited friends. The tasks mostly mean subscribing to sponsor channels, and the balance is internal. It turns into real Stars on withdrawal, yet public sources show no confirmed withdrawals.

• 🎯 How it works: the bot earns from ads, channels pay for subscribers, and you and your friends supply them.
• 📉 Reviews: aggregator sites show averages from 1.3 to 2.9 out of 5, with complaints about doubtful links in tasks.
• 🔒 Caution:
  • Never pay to speed up a withdrawal.
  • Never enter your login code on an outside site.
  • Check the username, since a lookalike with nearly the same name exists.

Of the four, this is the weakest pick for anyone who needs Stars for certain. Treat it as an ad platform.

TalePay: Stars for Brawl Stars mods

You do not buy Stars here. It is the payment bot for Tale Stars+, the paid version of an unofficial Brawl Stars mod. Prices are in TaleCoin, and one TaleCoin equals one Star.

• 💰 Prices: a week costs 250, two weeks 350, a month 500 TaleCoin.
• 💳 Payment: Telegram Stars, a card through Stripe, or crypto.
• 🎮 What you get: paid mod features give an edge in battle, which means cheats.
• ⚠️ Risks:
  • A modified client breaks the game developer's rules, and an account with years of progress can be lost.
  • The mod installs outside the app stores.
  • Refund terms in the mini app are not published yet, and sales are sometimes paused.

💡 If you try it, take the weekly plan and use a second account.

GroupHelp Payments: Pro and UltraPro for Stars

The official payment bot of the well-known group moderator GroupHelp. Payment goes through Telegram Stars, and the price shows in the bot before you confirm.

• 🛠️ Pro: a one-time purchase that adds an explicit content filter, extended repeating messages and advanced buttons.
  • Switch it on in the group with the /pro command.
• 🚀 UltraPro: monthly, per group, with everything in Pro plus custom roles, a mandatory channel subscription and up to 50 repeating messages.
• 🕵️ Catch: scammers message admins in private as fake support and ask for a transfer. Buy only inside the bot.

Before paying for UltraPro, check that the right group is selected, because the subscription is tied to one chat. Decide first if you need paid features at all: the free version handles spam and flooding.

Three ways to buy and what each costs you

1. 🏛️ The official route inside Telegram: the most dependable and clearest in a dispute, but pricier through an app store.
2. 🧾 Official methods that skip the store: cheaper with no platform fee, a few more steps.
3. 🤝 Third-party resellers: sometimes cheaper still, but everything rests on a seller you do not know. Telegram does not back the deal and will not refund you.

The gap between the second and third is often smaller than it looks. A discount of a few percent is not worth the risk.

Spotting a scammer before you pay

• 🚩 The price looks fantastic.
• ⏳ Pressure with a deadline: the offer ends in an hour.
• 🔑 A request to log in or read out a code.
• 📩 The seller messaged you first.
• 🧾 A demand to pay upfront with no guarantee.

💡 Compare the pack price in the official Telegram menu before buying from anyone else, and keep a payment screenshot with the order number. A few extra percent costs less than a lost account.

It is evening, your phone is in your hand, and storage is already full of photos. Another download feels like a chore, then someone drops a chat link: it runs inside Telegram. Five seconds later you are bouncing up platforms.

The messenger has hundreds of games, and they differ a lot. Some fill five quiet minutes, some need friends, some push tokens and daily quests. Below are six games and catalogs: what works, what tires you out, where to be careful.

Three kinds of games and one rule

The first wave of tap games and token waiting lists is over. Reports this year agree: the gaming audience stopped growing fast and play to earn has cooled. People tired of airdrops that paid pennies. The reports disagree on figures, so trust only the direction.

Three kinds of games now sit side by side, with some hybrids.

• 📚 Catalogs of light games: open with no install or sign up
• 👥 Group games: a bot hosts the match in a chat
• 🪙 Wallet projects: tokens, prize seasons, quests

💡 A game that promises a token reward charges you in time and sometimes in data. That is why each entry below says whether crypto is involved.

Six games and bots

PlayDeck: a catalog of 250+ free games

The easiest place to start. The mini app collects over 250 games: puzzles, arcade, racing, runners, strategy, simulators. Progress is tied to your Telegram account, so you can pick up on another device.

• ✅ Good: nothing to download
  • Games are light and load fast even on a weak phone
  • You can sample many genres without using up storage
• 💸 Money: no crypto in the pure sense, but there are purchases with Telegram Stars: lives, boosters, skins. Each charge needs a separate confirmation, yet if a child uses the phone, check the payment settings
• 🎁 Bonuses: a lucky wheel, surprise bundles, daily rewards. Mechanics change, so treat them as a game perk and not as income
• ⚠️ Downside: quality is uneven, and some games get dull quickly

Gamee: prize seasons and TON payouts

The platform launched games in the messenger back in 2016. Short mini games, quests, seasonal campaigns. In spring 2026 it ran Gold Fest with a 500 thousand dollar prize pool in gold backed tokens plus themed Telegram gifts.

• 🎯 How prizes were split: by activity, not leaderboard rank
  • Games, tasks and invited friends earned energy
  • Energy turned into points and a share of the pool
  • Payouts went to a TON wallet
• 🪙 Price risk: a pool announced in dollars can be worth something else on payout day
• 🔒 Wallet: use a separate one and never share the secret phrase. Connecting exposes your public blockchain address
• ⏱️ Time: quests stretch sessions, so set a limit such as twenty minutes a day

⚠️ Before linking a wallet, read what data the platform collects: the privacy command explains it.

Bytecoin: coins, transfers and guessing in chats

A mini app with internal coins. You check them with a chat command, send them to friends and spend them in games. The interface and channel are in Russian. Starter coins come from the channel as checks, links with limited activations.

• 🎯 Main game: guessing, where a long streak of correct answers raises the multiplier
• 📌 Do not mix up: the name matches an old cryptocurrency, but in Telegram this is a game currency. Do not count on exchanging coins for real money
  • Add the bot to a group and members can run small contests
  • Agree with the admins first so the bot does not drown the main conversation
• ⚠️ Risk: a rising multiplier works like gambling. Each next bet is riskier, and the urge to play one more round is strong. If buying coins for real money appears, count it as spending on play

Crocodile: explain the word without related words

Add the bot to a group and send the start command. Whoever pressed first becomes the host: the secret word arrives in their private window with the bot, and they describe it in the chat without using related words.

1. Everyone else posts guesses in the chat.
2. The first correct guess scores a point.
3. The bot supplies words, counts points and keeps tables: top players, a global rating, a comparison of chats, personal stats.

• 🎁 Price: free, and premium is needed only by chats that want extra settings and a rating reset
• 🛠️ Modes: there is hangman, and since spring 2026 the bot works in groups with topics, so the game can live in its own thread
• ✅ Crypto and gambling: none, though competition between people can hook you

💡 If the bot does not see answers in a group, it almost certainly lacks access to messages. Check its permissions.

BunkerRP: who gets into the shelter

Disaster outside, not enough room in the shelter, and you decide. The bot deals each player a hidden set: profession, health, age, hobby, phobia and luggage. Round by round, players reveal cards and argue why the group cannot survive without them, then vote.

• 🎯 How you win: by arguing well, luck matters less
  • The bot counts votes and wraps up the result, so no paper cards or human host
  • Best with six or more people, a match takes half an hour to an hour
• ⏱️ Tip: agree on speaking time beforehand, or one talkative player will stretch the round
• 🎁 Price: free, with service terms behind a separate command. No crypto, no gambling
• ⚠️ Downside: nothing to do alone, you need a lively group. If your character card never arrived, check that you started the bot yourself in a private chat

Uni Jump: an arcade with an airdrop behind it

A unicorn hops up platforms, dodges monsters and collects tickets. The character bounces by itself and you pick the direction, so a run takes a couple of minutes. The game runs on the TON blockchain.

• 🪙 Crypto: the heaviest on the list
  • Tickets give a share of a future UNICOIN token drop
  • The team says 85 percent of the supply is reserved for the community
  • The release date, listing and price have not been announced
• 💸 Withdrawal: new players get 0.25 TON, and withdrawals open at 2 TON. That is eight times the welcome bonus, reachable only through in-game events
• ⚠️ Careful: airdrops often disappoint, and after months of activity players received small sums. Put no money of your own in and do not spam invitations

Five questions for any game with a wallet

Before getting hooked on a game with rewards, run through the list.

1. Is there a token or TON, and is a cash reward promised?
2. Does it ask for a wallet? Then create a separate one and keep nothing important in it.
3. Are there purchases with Stars, and is every payment confirmed?
4. Is income promised for inviting friends?
5. How much time a day will you give it? Set a timer.

⚠️ Close the game if it asks for a wallet secret phrase, promises guaranteed income or pushes you with lines like "act today".

If a child plays, turn off quick payment on the phone and talk through the rules first. For a group, pick Crocodile or Bunker: both are free, have no crypto and work right away.

Telegram loads every other time and video crawls. Any bot with VPN in its name then looks like a rescue: tap, pay, connect. Behind it sit someone else's server, someone else's terms and your money, which is not always refunded.

Below are three services that solve different problems: two VPN bots and one proxy seller.

What a VPN bot really sells

The bot does not create a VPN. It is a storefront and a till: you choose a plan and pay, and the bot creates an account on a server and sends a key or a subscription link.

1. 🛠️ Install a client app.
2. 📌 Paste the link from the bot.
3. 🔒 Switch the connection on.

Traffic goes through the operator's server, not through Telegram. So the line "they cannot block us, we run inside Telegram" is advertising: the bot may become unreachable while the tunnel keeps working.

Blocks and protocols: what is known

• ⚠️ Restrictions: analysts report that limits on Telegram in Russia grew, and regulators disrupt specific protocols on operator equipment
  • VLESS with traffic masking and WireGuard are considered workable by user communities
  • results depend on region and provider
• 🏦 Banks and marketplaces: some Russian services began limiting access for people connected through a VPN
• 🎯 For your choice: no perfect solution exists, workarounds get closed and reopened. Pick a service where you can change the server or protocol

VPN or proxy

💡 Test a service in one evening. Open a site that would not load and send yourself a heavy video in Telegram. Repeat at peak hour. Then message support and time the answer: a day of silence before payment promises more trouble after it.

Three services and their jobs

TMG Premium VPN: a VPN without fuss

The most popular service here, with more than 340 thousand users a month. Purchase, management and support run through the bot menu and a built in mini app.

• ✅ Does: quick connect with one button
  • server list and connection status
  • protocol and server choice in settings, and if protocols are unfamiliar, leave the default
• 🎯 The pitch: access to blocked sites and fast media loading in Telegram. "Fastest VPN" is the developer's word, so test it yourself
• 👤 Fits: a simple VPN for a phone. On unrestricted home internet the difference is small
• ⚠️ Ask first: a specific city or dedicated address is not promised in the description, so ask support before paying

TorVPN: a trial and whitelist workarounds

The bot issues the subscription, and the service promises to get around whitelists on mobile internet. That is harsher than an ordinary block: everything is closed except what is allowed.

• 🎁 Main plus: a free trial
  • check speed on your own operator
  • see how fast support replies
• 🛠️ Connecting: after the start command the bot sends a subscription link, and you need a client app that accepts such links. If a server goes quiet, refresh the subscription or pick another
• ⚠️ Fair warning: such schemes are unstable, and when a method is shut down the connection drops for a while
• 💸 Money: "cheapest around" means nothing without a test, and prepaying for years with a small bot is risky

BulletProof Proxy: this is not a VPN

The bot sells proxies. You configure them in a browser, an anti detect tool or a script, and the IP changes for that one program only.

• ✅ Range: static addresses from data centers and from internet providers
  • rotating data center, residential, mobile and premium ones
  • the closer an address looks to a home connection, the more it costs and the less suspicion it raises
• 👤 Fits: scraping, checking ads in another region, or running several accounts with a separate IP each. Not for opening a blocked site on a phone
• ⚠️ Downside: "bulletproof" in a name often hints at a soft attitude to abuse complaints. Addresses may land on blacklists, and refunds depend on the seller's goodwill
• 📌 Rules: start with the smallest pack and read the terms through the terms command

Before you pay

Any VPN moves trust from your telecom operator to the server owner, who can see which addresses you visit. A "no logs" promise is backed by reputation, not by a line on the storefront.

1. Take a trial or the shortest term: a month shows whether speed holds at your peak hour.
2. Read the offer. It says how refunds work and what happens in an outage.
3. Watch the payment method: a transfer to a private card without a receipt, or payment through a third party, raises the odds of losing money with no refund.
4. Skip free configs from random channels, because your traffic may end up on a stranger's server.
5. Keep a backup, a second protocol or a second service.

Risks the Buy button skips

• 🔒 Privacy: a panel administrator can usually see user activity and subscription dates. A VPN does not make you anonymous
• 🏦 Banks and state services: open banking apps without a VPN if the bank allows it
• ⚖️ Law: rules on VPN use and advertising differ by country and keep changing, Russia included
• 💸 Crypto: a cryptocurrency payment cannot be reversed, so check the amount and address twice

⚠️ Compare the price of a month that worked in practice. A thirty percent discount on a service that fails to connect half the time saves nothing. Keep receipts and support chats: you will need them to claim a refund under the offer.

For a simple phone VPN, start with TMG Premium VPN on a short term. On mobile data with whitelists, test the TorVPN trial. The third bot is for scraping and multi account work, and keep two ways to connect in reserve.

A friend sends a funny trip photo and it begs to be a sticker. You open the official Telegram sticker bot and hit sizes, formats and manual cropping. Ten minutes later the photo is back in your gallery.

Third party bots handle the technical side. Here are six: some cut stickers from your photos and video, one draws you in an illustrated style, one builds headlines from emoji, and one finds packs other people made.

When the built-in editor is enough, and when it is not

Since 2026 the Telegram editor can turn a photo into a sticker by itself. For one or two images that is plenty.

A bot helps when a pack comes from video, a background has to go fast, a channel needs custom emoji, or you want your face drawn. Millions of public packs exist, and the built-in search mostly surfaces the popular ones.

• 🎨 Custom emoji: sit in a line of text like a normal character but look like your own picture
  • Everyone can see them
  • Sending them in ordinary chats and channels takes Telegram Premium
  • Without a subscription you can test them for free in Saved Messages
• 🎞️ Video stickers: the bot fits file size and format, so no manual fiddling

⚠️ A face on a sticker is personal data, paid generations add up, and other people's pictures and characters can bring copyright trouble. Details sit under each bot below.

The six bots at a glance

The order runs from the most all-round tool to the narrowest. It is not a leaderboard, since each bot has its own job.

fStik: a sticker pack from a photo in a minute

The most used bot here, with close to half a million people a month. Send a photo, video or GIF and it fits the file to the right size and format.

• ✅ Does: stickers, custom emoji, video stickers
  • Creates a pack and lists your packs
  • Removes a background and makes a round video
  • Downloads the original sticker file or turns it back into a plain image for a post
  • Traces a sticker's source and opens a catalog of other people's packs
• 👤 Good for: beginners and anyone curating a collection
• ⚠️ Downside: background removal struggles with busy shots. Put only your own material in the public catalog

Literally Me: stickers and photo shoots with your face

Upload one photo and get a pack of stickers with yourself, sometimes as video stickers. In the second mode a neural network learns your look from ten photos and renders you in different situations.

• 🎯 Modes: a quick pack from one photo, and a full photo shoot
  • More than twenty ready themes for the shoot
  • Needs sharp photos with one face, no heavy filters, varied angles
• 💸 Price: paid, and exact sums show only inside the bot. Make one pack first and judge the likeness before ordering the expensive shoot
• 🔒 Privacy: you hand over biometric data. The terms open with a separate command, so read them before uploading. Never upload someone else's face without consent, children's faces above all

Stickers Pack: a builder with an emoji font

A plain builder: send an image or clip, adjust the size, crop the frame. It all happens in the chat and nothing needs installing.

• 🛠️ Formats: static, animated and video stickers plus custom emoji
  • You can apply a mask with a transparent background
  • The emoji font swaps letters for emoji symbols, which gives channel sections an eye-catching headline
• 💸 Payment: the bot has a payment rules command, so some features are paid. Check what and how much before you pay
• 📌 Versus fStik: smaller audience, more focus on formats. Choose by whichever menu feels familiar

EmojiTitleBot: a headline made of animated emoji

Send a line of text, such as the name of a column, and the bot returns a set of emoji that spell it out. Add the set to your account and paste the headline into a post.

• ✅ Does: builds lettering out of custom emoji
  • A merge command folds several titles into one pack, so you do not keep ten tiny sets
• 🎯 Example: a cooking channel posts a recipe every Friday. After a couple of weeks subscribers recognise the column before reading a word
• ⚠️ Telegram limit: sending these emoji in ordinary chats and channels takes Premium. Subscribers see the animation without one

Stickers wiki: find a ready pack by theme

This bot finds rather than makes. The main catalog reads like a library with packs sorted into roughly eighty themes. Find a pack, tap a button, get the sticker in chat and add the set.

• 🎁 Inside: anime, cartoons and games, music, animals, memes, holidays
  • The mini app has lists of funny, popular and new stickers
  • The project claims over a million free stickers and daily additions
• ⏱️ Expect: dozens of packs for popular themes, a handful for niche ones
• 🛠️ Housekeeping: delete unused packs once a month, or the panel turns into a junk drawer. On an old phone pick static and animated sets over video

Hypestick: a drawn sticker from your photo

The narrowest bot with the smallest audience. Upload a shot, type what the sticker should say, and about a minute later you get a drawing in one illustrated style. The project advertises no other styles.

• 💸 Payment: Telegram Stars, inside the bot
  • A new user gets one free try
  • Extra credits come from invited friends, giveaways and promo codes
  • The price of one generation is shown in the bot and can change
• 🎁 When to pick it: a gift sticker for a birthday, a family chat or a work group. For a pack of ten images, the universal bots are cheaper and more flexible
• 🔒 Risk: photos are processed on the operator's server. Keep documents and frames with personal details out of it

Before you upload a face or someone else's picture

If you are sending photos to a neural network service, go through these steps.

1. Pick even light, a large face and one person in the frame.
2. Check the background: no documents, cards or addresses.
3. Make sure the picture is yours and anyone in it agrees.
4. Look up the price in the bot and make one test sticker before a big purchase.
5. Read how the service stores photos.

💡 A sticker reads well on a small screen when there is air around the subject, the frame is not crowded and the whole pack shares one palette.

One general bot is enough for a first pack. Take a single picture from your gallery and you will see the result in a minute.

A clip in your feed needs to survive a train ride with no signal. Or a track plays in someone's video and you cannot name it. Each of those used to mean a separate website full of banners or an app weighing hundreds of megabytes.

Telegram handles it now: send a bot a link, a sound or a file and the result lands in the same chat. Five bots from the catalog cover three jobs: downloading, music recognition and turning video into round messages.

What a chat bot has over a downloader website

• 🚫 No noise: no ads, no pop-ups, no requests to install something.
• ☁️ File in the Telegram cloud:
  • It arrives like any message: forward it, save it to the gallery or keep it in Saved Messages.
  • It opens on any device and takes no phone memory until you need it.
• 🔧 Breakage happens: platforms change their protection now and then, and downloads fail for a while. Wait a couple of minutes and resend the link.

⚠️ Saving a clip for yourself is ordinary use. Posting someone else's video under your name, putting it in an ad or re-uploading it whole is another matter: the author stays the author even without a watermark. To publish, ask permission or credit the source.

Tik Tok Downloader: clips without a watermark

It works with TikTok and Instagram and has about three and a half million users a month. No sign-up, nothing to pay.

• ✅ Does: hands back whatever the link holds.
  • Video without a watermark and photos from carousels.
  • The music from a clip as a separate file, and stories.
• 🎯 Pick it when you need exactly those two networks and no fiddling with settings.
• ⏱️ Stories live for a day, so save them at once.
• ⚠️ Downside: private accounts are closed, and YouTube is out of scope.

Download IT: one bot for many sites

The developer claims support for more than five hundred services, including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, VK, Twitter and Facebook. Over two hundred thousand people use it each month.

• 🎧 Audio on its own: a lecture, interview or podcast can arrive as an audio file that weighs far less than the video and plays with the screen off.
• 👥 Group use: add it to a family or work chat and any link turns into a file in the same conversation.
• ⚠️ Downsides:
  • Telegram limits file size, so multi-hour recordings in high quality may fail. Take audio instead.
  • The five hundred figure comes from the developer, and a rare site is not guaranteed.
  • Private videos are unavailable.

Song recognizer: what is playing right now

Send a voice message, a video, a round message, an audio file or a link, and the bot names the track and the artist. You can hum a tune or type a line of lyrics. More than 1.8 million people use it monthly.

• 🎤 How to record:
  1. Capture 10 to 15 seconds, ideally the chorus.
  2. Move closer to the speaker: clarity matters more than volume.
  3. Send the recording to the bot.
• 🔎 Weak spots: live versions, covers and rare remixes are recognized less well, humming does not always work, heavy noise gets in the way.
• 📌 No downloads: it only names the song. If the first try fails, record another part or search by words.

Voicy: voice to text and round messages

Three jobs in one bot. A forwarded voice message becomes a transcript, an ordinary video file becomes a round message, and inline mode drops voice memes into any chat without opening the bot. About 150 thousand people use it monthly.

• 📝 Transcripts: copy the text, find the spot you need and paste it into notes. Handy in a meeting or on a bus.
  • Accuracy is good on clean speech in a quiet room.
  • Check names, numbers and rare terms by hand in important messages.
• 👤 Fits you if people send you long voice messages often.
• ⚠️ Downside: the bot does many different things and none of them in depth. For a single round video there is a simpler option.

Video to Circle: one job, no menus

Send an ordinary clip and get a round video message of up to sixty seconds. No settings, no menus, no registration. About 37 thousand people use it monthly.

• 🔵 Why it exists: Telegram lets you record a round message only with the in-app camera, so a finished video needs a converter.
• 🎁 Good for a greeting in a channel, a quick reply in a work chat or a birthday wish.
• ✂️ Limits:
  • Put the main subject in the center, since the edges are lost when cropping to a circle.
  • Captions in the corners disappear.
• ⏳ At peak hours there are delays. Sending the same video again only lengthens the queue.

Which bot for which job

1. 📥 Clips from TikTok and Instagram: the first one on the list.
2. 🌐 Other sites, audio, group chats: Download IT.
3. 🎵 Naming a song: the recognizer, worth a bookmark.
4. 🗣️ Transcripts and memes: Voicy.
5. ⭕ Only a round video: the simplest converter.

Safe habits for all five

• 🔒 Username: popular downloaders have many clones with similar names. Open the bot from the catalog, not from an ad in a stranger's chat.
• 🔑 Access: downloading never needs a social network password or an SMS code. If a bot asks, close the chat.
• 💸 Money: the basic functions are free, so a demand to pay per file is a red flag.
• 🙈 Private material: voice messages and videos go to someone else's server, so keep confidential talks and documents out.

💡 If nothing downloads, check that the link was copied in full and the profile is public. For a long video try the audio-only option. Still stuck: the support contact is in the bot profile.

It is Monday morning, your group has three thousand members, and forty fresh accounts with no profile photos have just posted the same invite to an "investment club". You delete them by hand, and an hour later the second wave arrives.

Below are six bots from our catalog. Each covers one piece of the problem: spam filtering, captcha, auto-approving join requests or cleaning a channel audience. One bot rarely does it all, so the end of the article puts them into a working setup.

Spam in 2026 looks respectable

Broken sentences with a link are history. Accounts are warmed up for weeks and given a photo first. Raids come in batches, and a fake "admin" follows up in private messages about a "wallet verification".

Telegram has its own tools: built-in spam protection for groups above 200 members (with a stricter mode), join approval, slow mode and limits for newcomers. Crude mass posting stops there. A careful attack needs rules tuned to your community, a captcha and shared spammer databases.

💡 Start with Telegram's built-in protection and add bots to plug specific holes. It makes it much easier to see who filters what.

Six bots worth a try

Combot: an all-rounder with a shared spammer list

Moderation, captcha, raid protection, triggers, scheduled posts and analytics in one bot. Its signature feature is CAS, a shared spammer database. An account caught spamming in one protected group gets blocked from yours before it types a word.

• ✅ Free tier:
  • moderation, captcha, anti-raid
  • a post scheduler
  • 32 days of stats
• 💸 Prices: Pro is 9.99 USD per month for non-commercial communities only. Commercial use needs Business at 100 USD per month. Check the panel for current prices.
• ⚠️ Downside: a ban in the shared list is nearly impossible to appeal, even for a hacked account.
• 🎯 Pick it if you want order and analytics.

GRIZZLY: a manager that speaks Russian

Commands are typed in Russian and start with a dot, which is handy for Russian-speaking admins and mostly useless if you do not read the language.

• 🛠️ Toolkit: warnings, welcome messages, rules, plugins and a hierarchy where the owner appoints admins and admins ban and warn.
• 🎁 Nice touch: an amnesty command lifts every ban at once when moderation went too far.
• 🔒 Captcha: opens with one command and stops most raids at the door.
• ⚠️ Careful: unofficial wikis list commands from other versions, so check the current reference. Paid features, if any, are shown in the bot menu. Look there before connecting it to a large chat.

Anti Spam Bot: quiet cleanup in five minutes

A narrow job: remove ads, invites to other channels and repeated messages. The interface comes in Russian and English, and there is a separate support bot and a news channel.

• ⏱️ Setup:
  1. add the bot to the group
  2. make it an admin
  3. give it the right to delete messages
• 👤 Fits small and mid-sized chats that want cleanup without configuration. There are no triggers or analytics, it is a filter.
• 📌 Tip: when it removes a normal message, check whether the account is new or the text has a suspicious link. If it repeats, write to support.

TGuard: subscriber scan and surge alerts

It works with the audience of channels and groups: it shows the share of real people and bots among subscribers and checks newcomers against a base of known bots.

• ✅ Also does:
  • runs a captcha
  • sends an alert when hundreds of accounts arrive through one link
  • tracks subscriptions in real time and has an SOS mode (added in early 2026)
• 🔒 Removal: only after you confirm. Bot detection is probabilistic and a real person with an empty profile can land on the list, so read it yourself.
• 📌 For channel buyers: a report with a cleanliness percentage and a grade from A+ to E. It is the bot's own estimate, and the buying decision stays with you.
• ⚠️ Downside: independent reviews are few. Grant minimal rights and read the pricing inside the bot first.

Auto Accept Request Bot: requests approve themselves

It does one thing: approves join requests when an invite link requires approval. There are two commands, /start and /help, and almost nothing to configure.

• 🛠️ Launch: add it as an admin, enable the right to invite via link, and share that exact link.
• 🎯 Rescues you after an ad post or a mention in a big channel, when requests arrive by the hundreds.
• ⚠️ Risk: bots and spammers walk in with everyone else. For private or paid channels think about manual review, and keep separate moderation in the chat.
• ❓ Accepts nothing? The usual causes are a regular link with no approval request, missing admin rights, or the invite right switched off.

Majburiy Post Bot: Uzbek bot with a big audience

Around 155 thousand monthly users and an Uzbek-only interface. The name translates as "mandatory post bot", and bots of this type usually make members meet a condition, such as joining a channel, before writing in a group.

• ⚠️ Downside: the bot page gives no detailed feature list, and without the language you would be learning by trial.
• 🧪 How to try: on a spare group with a second account. Keep one or two conditions, or newcomers will leave before reading the rules.
• 🔒 Token: never share it. If it leaks, reissue it through the official bot-creation bot.

All six on one screen

A setup for a mid-sized community

1. 🧱 Core: one manager with captcha and rules, Combot or GRIZZLY, depending on language and habits.
2. 🛡️ Spam filter: Telegram's built-in protection plus a dedicated anti-spam bot if the chat is small or needs custom rules.
3. 🚪 Channel entry: auto-approval only during a surge, then back to manual review.
4. 🔍 Audit: scan the channel monthly and compare reach before and after cleanup.

⚠️ Before granting admin rights, check what the bot asks for. An anti-spam bot needs the right to delete messages and restrict members. It has no use for inviting users or adding admins.

The first day after connecting

• 📌 Pin a message saying real admins never message first and never ask for passwords.
• Publish the rules and the warning system in advance, and arguments drop.
• Turn on the captcha and test it with a second account.
• Read the action log weekly: what was removed and why.

If the chat is already under attack, turn on the captcha and join approval first, then clean up. The other order fails because new accounts arrive faster than you delete old ones.

Keep a quick way to restore anything removed by mistake. A harsh filter that eats normal messages annoys people more than any spam.
