Anonymous Messages in Telegram

You want an honest opinion, but not everyone will say it to your face. The Anonymous Messages bot gives you a personal link: people write through it and you read without seeing who the author is 🕶️.

The bot is built for receiving messages. Its description says as much: press Start to send an anonymous message.

How it works

You get a link to the bot that you can place in a profile or send to friends. Whoever opens it writes a text, and it reaches you without a name.

The bot commands show what else is inside:

• /start. Launch the bot ✨.
• /mystats. Statistics 📈.
• /url. Change the link.
• /issue. Share an idea.
• /donate. Support the bot 💎.
• /lang. Choose a language.

Why change the link

If the link starts to attract spam or nasty messages, /url lets you change the address. That is what the command is for.

The habit is simple: do not post the link where anyone can find it unless you are ready for rude messages.

What people use it for

1. Gather honest feedback on work, a blog or a project.
2. Run a Q and A feature in social networks.
3. Let shy friends ask about important things.
4. Take ideas and complaints from channel followers 💬.

The flip side of anonymity ⚠️

Where the author cannot be identified, insults and bullying show up more often. For a teenager such messages can hurt more than it seems.

If you receive threats or humiliation, do not answer, take a screenshot and change the link. For serious threats talk to adults and law enforcement.

Anonymity is relative. You see a message without a name, but the service itself technically processes conversation data. Read the rules if they are available and do not entrust the bot with secrets you are not ready to reveal.

If you are the one sending

Anonymous does not mean unpunished. Insults, threats and slander remain violations of the law even when unsigned. Write the way you would write openly.

Do not send other people's private data, photos or addresses through the bot, and do not try to figure out who wrote someone else's messages.

The bot can be used in a good way too: for thanks, questions, ideas and warm words that feel awkward to say aloud 💛.

Handling the messages you receive

Do not take everything to heart. A single rude remark from a stranger says more about them than about you. Look for useful criticism where it is specific: what exactly is wrong and why.

Decide in advance what you answer publicly and what you leave unanswered. If you post other people's questions on social networks, remove anything that could hurt or expose third parties.

And remember to pause: it is better to read such messages when calm, not late at night 🌙.

If messages pile up, come back to the statistics and see when the link works best.
