To create one of these, go to Settings or a Chat Info page, click Edit > click the Profile Picture > select Sticker or Emoji.

The Bot API is a free and open platform, available to everyone. If you're looking to build your own bot, check out this page.

A further privacy blunder is that Telegram notifies your contacts when you join it — unless you don’t give it permission to access your contacts.

This allows you to categorize your chats into different labels and Telegram sort things out for you. As a result, Telegram gets super clean and much easier to manage. I love it! Bots on Telegram can help you take quizzes, accept payments and even replace whole websites.
