Telegram is, without a doubt, the best alternative to WhatsApp that exists. What's more, many of the users of this platform believe that the tool is even better than the most used one but, the lack of users means that Telegram is not a direct rival for WhatsApp. Despite everything, Telegram is widespread in the business world and became very popular with its channels, where millions of bargains and recommendations circulate every day.
What many don't know is that Telegram isn't just a place to check bargains, join traffic groups or chat with your friends. The tool has many secrets and with the use of bots we can get to do impressive things. In this article we would like to tell you several things you can do with Telegram that you probably don't know We will even explain how these things are done, so you don't get left halfway with explanation.
Chat secretly, end-to-end encryption without anyone being able to spy on you
Telegram is a platform that encrypts end-to-end messages. Despite all this, the application can be consulted from all kinds of environments simultaneously without any need to be alone on one device, just like WhatsApp.What many do not know is that, if extra security is needed, secret conversations can be opened that no one can eavesdrop on in any way.
These secret conversations are device-to-device encrypted, which means that only the device you open this conversation on will be able to access it. In addition to this, it is also important to clarify that Telegram will not allow you to capture these conversations To open a secret chat, all you have to do is:
- Enter the normal conversation with the contact you want to chat with.
- Click on the profile picture.
- Click on the green option that says "Start secret chat".
- Once this is done, you will be able to chat completely privately.
With Telegram you can tweet thanks to the bot @TweetItBot
And we start with more advanced options, like this one that makes use of the @TweetItBot bot. Summoning a bot is as easy as looking for it in the main Telegram search engine, clicking on it and clicking Start (we clarify this so you know for the the rest). Once the bot is invoked, you can use it according to its criteria.
With this Twitter bot you can send tweets without leaving Telegram. When you open it you will have to use a url to log in (and authorize the boot) and then you can use the commands of this bot to send tweets. You can receive notifications, send tweets, unfollow, etc. With the command /commands you can see all the actions you can perform.
You can perform all kinds of operations
Another of the most interesting Telegram bots is @calcubot, one that will allow you to carry out all kinds of operations and accounts both from the bot itself and in any chat. Using calcubot is very simple.
- Enter any chat.
- Type @calcubot after starting the bot and then put the operation you want to perform.
- The bot will give you instructions on how you want to display the result and will paste it into the chat once you click on it.
It is a very simple bot that also allows you to perform operations directly from the bot itself, but the most useful thing is that you can use it in chats in a very simple way.
@Pollrbot or how to create simple polls on Telegram
Surely you have seen many surveys on Telegram, what many people do not quite know is that these surveys are not native, but created with the occasional bot like @pollrbot, which is one of the best in its category . Enter the boot and you can easily create a survey
You will only have to write the question when it asks you What do you want to do, and then add the possible answers that you want to have as "possible". Once all this process has been done (very simple) all you have to do is click on Share poll to forward the survey to all the groups or chats you want. People will have a box to click and choose the answer that interests them and you will see how the survey is going directly in the bot itself. It is very easy to use but very powerful.
Send video notes, like voice notes but with a face
Another thing that Telegram has very useful are video notes, as opposed to voice notes. Telegram offers both options directly in every conversation. In the lower right corner you will see, by default, a microphone to send voice notes just like in WhatsApp. The good thing about Telegram is that in addition to voice notes, with a simple click, you can switch to video notes.
You will send short videos as if it were a voice note but here, however, you will enjoy video with the front camera to accompany your voiceand show what you want at all times.
Use My Tracking to see the status of any package (sent from any courier company)
Another of the useful bots is this one from My Tracking that many of you will already know. This bot, unlike others, allows you to know the status of any order in your conversations. You will have a lot of companies available. You can summon him in any conversation or talk to him directly on the bot.
It is a free and very powerful bot. The only "bad" thing about it is that you'll have to order a lot of things and you'll be spending money (unsurprisingly) to get enough use out of it. But if you are on Telegram because of the large number of bargain channels that there are, it will surely come in handy to be able to know the status of packages without using the Internet With the command /help you will see all the actions it is capable of performing.
Flirt, Tinder-style, with Hot Bot
And you might not expect to find this here but if you use the @HotBot bot you will be able to flirt Tinder-style directly from a messaging app.What HotBot does is put the profile photo of other users on your screen and you can like or dislike it.
If there is a match, in true Tinder style, the bot will open the conversation with the other user. It's a great tool and a very useful bot but few people know about it makes it hard to meet people using it. It will depend a lot on the region you are in.
So far the 7 things you can do on Telegram and that you might not know about. Now you are a little wiser with the use of this tool. Do you dare to leave us a comment with something that you think most people do not know how to do but that we have not mentioned?
