Telegram is a wildly popular messaging app with a Bot API interface. That means most, if not all tasks are performed by third-party software. It can pretty much do whatever you can think of – from customizing notifications to making multiplayer games.

Every chat room has an ID number attached to it. It doesn’t matter if it’s private or public nor how many people are involved.

You can access Telegram by using the built-in browser for Mac. From there on, you can contact a bot via the web app to find out what your personal chat ID is. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open your Safari browser and go to https://web.telegram.org.
   
2. Type your phone number in the corresponding field.
3. Telegram will then send you a six-digit log-in code to your mobile app. Use the number to log in.
4. Move your cursor to the search box in the top-left corner of the screen. Type “@RawDataBot” and hit “Enter.”
   
5. Click on “Telegram Bot Raw” to get a message containing your chat info.
   

We mentioned there’s a hack for checking the chat ID for your group. This only works for the web app, but it’s still pretty nifty:

1. Go to https://web.telegram.org.
   
2. Open a group chat.
3. Look at the URL at the top of the screen. The digits behind the letter “g” are actually your chat ID. Just add “- “in front of the numbers.

If you’re not cut out for online use, you might want to download the desktop version. Telegram is available for free on the Mac App Store. Here’s how you can get it:

1. Launch the App Store app through the LaunchPad or the Dock. You can also use Spotlight Search to find it.
   
2. Select “Categories” from the panel on the left-hand side. Browse for the Telegram app. There’s also a search function you can use to find it.
   
3. Click on the Telegram thumbnail to open it. Under the app info, click on the “Get” button.
   
4. To complete the download, type in your Apple ID and password.
   

Of course, there’s a desktop version for both Windows and Linux PCs. You can get it from the official Telegram website. Here’s how:

1. Using your preferred browser, go to the official Telegram website.
   
2. Navigate to the top of the screen. Click on the “Apps” tab.
   
3. Choose “Telegram for Windows/Linux” in the section for desktop apps.
   

The desktop app uses the same interface as the online or mobile version. It has all the same features as well, meaning you can use Telegram Bot Raw to find out your chat ID. Here’s how:

1. Click on the app icon to launch it.
   
2. Navigate to the search box in the top-left corner.
   
3. Type “@RawDataBot” and select “Telegram Bot Raw” from the drop-down list.
   
4. Click on the “Start” button in the auto-reply message.
   
5. The Telegram bot will send a message with your account info. Scroll down and find “Chat.” Your chat ID number is listed below, next to “id.’
   

On Android

You can find the official Android app on Google Play. Once you install it on your phone, you gain access to all Bot API services. That includes Telegram Bot Raw. Here’s how to find your chat ID on the Android app:

1. Tap to open the Telegram app.
   
2. In the top-right corner, tap on the small magnifying glass icon.
   
3. Type “@RawDataBot” in the search dialog box and then tap the search icon.
   
4. Select “Telegram Bot Raw” from the search results.
   
5. You’ll get an auto-reply message. Tap the “Start” button.
   
6. You’ll get another message containing your First Name, Last Name, and Chat ID. Find “Chat” from the list of information.
   
7. Under “Chat,” you’ll see a number. It’s marked with the word “id” on the right-hand side. That’s your Chat ID number.
   

Like we said, group chats also have an identification number. However, you can only look it up if you’re the admin. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to your home screen or Apps menu and open Telegram.
   
2. Find a group chat where you’re the admin. Tap to open it.
3. At the top of the screen, tap on the group name.
4. Tap the “+Add Member” tab.
   
5. At the top of the screen, tap on the search bar. Type “@RawDataBot” in the dialog box.
   
6. From the two search results, select “Telegram Bot Raw.”
   
7. In the bottom-left corner of the screen, tap the blue checkmark button. A pop-up box will appear asking you if you want to add the bot to your chat. Tap “Add” to confirm or “Cancel” to stop the process.
   
8. Tap the left-pointing arrow at the top of the screen to go back to the chat. You’ll see a message from the Telegram Raw Bot with information about the group.
   
9. Find “Chat” in the auto-reply message. Below you’ll see the ID number for the group.
   

The App Store also has a free mobile version available for iPhone. It looks and performs the same as the Android app, down to the process of getting your chat ID. Just in case, let’s go through it again:

1. Go to your home screen and swipe up to open apps. You can also use your Face ID or just press the “Home” button.
2. Find the Telegram icon and tap to launch the app.
   
3. Use the search function to access the “Telegram Bot Raw.”
   
4. Find your chat ID in the auto-reply message.
   

You can also use a chat command to ask the Telegram bot for your account information. All it takes is sending a private message:

1. Open the Telegram app.
   
2. Select the chat with Telegram Bot Raw to form the list.
   
3. Type “/start” and tap the arrow icon on the right-hand side to send.
   

Protip: don’t delete the chat with Telegram Bot Raw. That way, you can always find your chat ID.

Unsurprisingly, the answer is by using bots. Telegram allows you to update your chat ID through a series of HTTPS requests.  You first have to create a bot and then add it to your group as an admin. From there on, it’s pretty straightforward. Also, the process is identical for private and public chats alike.

The most convenient way to do it is by using your browser. Telegram is compatible with virtually any search engine currently in use. Technically, you can do it with your Android or iOS device, but it’s somewhat awkward. Getting a chat ID update requires you to copy and paste your bot token in a website URL, so it’s much easier to use your computer instead.

Keep reading for step-by-step instructions for each device.

On Mac

The first part of the process is creating your own bot by using (surprise) a different bot. It sounds far more complicated than it actually is. Here’s how to do it:

1. Launch the Telegram desktop app.
   
2. Move your cursor to the search bar in the upper-left corner.
   
3. Type “@Botfather” in the dialog box. Make sure to choose the official version from the search results. It has a blue checkmark next to the bot name.
   
4. A new chat will open. Click “Start.”
   
5. You’ll get a message containing a list of commands. Choose “/newbot” to create your bot.
   
6. Botfather will ask you to choose a username for your bot. Type the name and add “_bot” at the end.
   

After that, you can update to a different chat ID through an HTTPS request. Here’s what you should do:

1. Launch your browser and go to api. telegram.org/bot<BOT_ID>.
2. Navigate to the URL at the top of the screen. Select “BOT ID” by dragging your cursor.
3. Paste your Botfather bot token in the highlighted part. Make sure not to erase the “/getUpdates.”
4. Find your updated chat id in the json string below.

On Desktop

As we’ve mentioned, you can’t change your chat ID on the desktop app. It has to be done online. However, you can use it to make some necessary preparations instead. For example, adding the bot as an admin. Here’s how:

1. Open the Telegram app on your desktop.
   
2. Choose a group chat from the panel on the left-hand side.
3. Move your cursor to the upper-right corner and click on the three vertical dots.
   
4. Choose “Manage Group” from the drop-down list.
   
5. A pop-up window will appear. Scroll down and click on the “Administrators” tab.
   
6. Click on the “Add Administrator” button in the bottom-left corner. Select your bot from the list of members.
   
7. A pop-up window will appear. Navigate to the bottom-right corner and click “Save.”
   

On Android (and iPhone)

It’s really not advisable to do this with your phone. It’s not that you can’t do it with your chosen browser app; it’s just so awkward. Since smartphones have a touch screen, copying your bot token into the URL is quite a hassle. The more sensible solution is to use your computer to access the API web page.

Why can’t I access the chat ID?

You have to have a username to be able to access chat IDs. Telegram doesn’t automatically generate one, so you have to set it yourself. Here’s how:

1. Tap on the Telegram icon on your home screen.

2. In the top-left corner, tap on the three horizontal lines. If the app launched a private conversation when opened, go back to the chat list.

3. Choose “Settings” from the drop-down panel on the left-hand side.

4. Tap on the “Username” section under your phone number. Type at least five characters to create a valid username. If it’s available, a notification will appear below. If not, the text will turn red. Telegram will ask you to come up with a different name.

5. Tap on the check-mark in the top-left corner to finish.

Once you get used to the particular interface, it’s actually quite handy. Telegram made sure there’s a bot for every occasion, and that includes managing chat IDs.

You can easily find out what your personal chat ID is after creating a username. When it comes to group chats, you have to be the admin to access that information. The same goes for creating or updating an ID number. And remember – in case of any bugs or glitches, you can always rely on Telegram’s excellent troubleshooting.

What is Telegram user ID for?

How to find out your Telegram ID?

How to find out the ID of another user in Telegram?

How to find the Telegram chat ID?

Telegram user ID is a digital code that is assigned to each account upon registration. This identifier is needed by the system in order to correctly save data and associate it with a specific user. You won't be able to find the ID of your account or another chat in the messenger menu. Unfortunately, this possibility is not provided by the developers. But there are other ways to find out the ID. We will talk about them in this article.

What is the Telegram user ID for?

Many users know that you can set your own identifier in Telegram. This makes it possible to find each other and communicate without exchanging phone numbers. Everyone can come up with a username for themselves, as it is available for editing and viewing in the "Settings" section. There you can also make a link for a quick transition to the chat.

Telegram ID is also an identifier, but not for people, but for the system. It is assigned to a user profile, chat, group, and channel at the time they are created. ID allows you to form links between:

• accounts and the bots they use;
• users and the groups they join;
• users.

Thus, the Telegram ID is responsible for the correct interaction of profiles on the network. It plays an important role in forwarding messages, downloading chat histories, the ability to add someone or add yourself to a chat or group, and so on. Unlike the username, the ID consists entirely of numbers and cannot be changed. However, it is not available for viewing through the settings menu.

How to find out your Telegram ID?

Telegram has created many bots for this purpose, but not all of them work correctly. We recommend using the @getmyid_bot bot. Among its advantages, one can single out proper functioning and fast delivery of results. To find out your ID, follow the step-by-step instructions:

1. Go to the application's search bar and enter @getmyid_bot.
2. In the search results, find a bot that exactly matches the above name.
3. Click on it to open a dialog box.
4. Click on the "Start" button to start the bot.
5. Your ID will be displayed immediately in the reply message. See the first line, which starts with "Your user". The second line shows the identifier of the dialogue with the bot.

Alternatively, you can use the @userinfobot bot. He additionally sends the last name and first name, with which you can verify the correctness of the data.

How to find out the ID of another user in Telegram?

It's as easy as finding out your account ID. For example, we will use the same bot − @getmyid_bot. It is universal and allows you to check not only your data, but also find out information about other users. To do this, follow the step-by-step instructions:

1. Search and launch the bot, as in the paragraph above.
2. Go to the list of contacts and open a dialogue with the person whose ID you want to calculate.
3. Select any received message from the correspondence and click on "Forward".
4. We assign the user @getmyid_bot as the addressee and click "Submit".
5. Three lines appear in the dialog box. What the first two mean, you already know, and the third, which begins with the words “Forwarded from”, is the identifier of your interlocutor.

If you have a stable internet connection, you will receive a response in less than a second. Otherwise, it may take longer to receive information.

How to find Telegram chat ID?

In this case, the tools mentioned above will not work. They can only provide the identity of the specific person who sent the message to a private or public chat. To get the Telegram ID of a public chat or group, use the @username_to_id_bot bot. Step by step instructions:

1. We are looking for @username_to_id_bot through the Telegram search line.
2. Launch the bot by pressing the "Start" button.
3. We go into a chat or group, information about which we want to know.
4. Copying the link to the chat. It can be found in the chat / group settings by clicking on the "Invite" button. The link will be at the top of the window that opens.
5. Next, we return to our bot and send it the previously copied link.
6. In the response message, we receive basic data about the chat/group. The ID will be on the bottom line.

As you can see, it is not difficult to find out the Telegram ID. If you follow the step-by-step instructions given here, then you will surely succeed. Good luck!

how to find out and why you need it

The popular Telegram application provides users with many functional tools for communication, entertainment, and business. Its main options are the exchange of messages and files, the creation of chat rooms, the ability to conduct secret correspondence. In addition to the main functionality, there are a huge number of useful and entertaining bots in Telegram. They can be created according to their needs by each user of the messenger.

You can find out the Telegram ID using a special bot.

What is an ID and why is it needed

Telegram uses protocols for social networks where personal accounts and communities (chats, channels) are recognized using a special numerical identifier. A unique ID (ID) is required by the system to accurately identify the user. Even programs inside the messenger use a set of certain numbers for the convenience of using the service. Thanks to the unique number that is assigned when creating the page, the system sees which user data, which correspondence to display. Data exchange begins immediately after the profile is identified, that is, when you enter your account by entering your login and password.

When you create a group, whether private or public, an ID is also generated to access it. You may need information about the identifier to set up and work correctly with the bot that communicates with users and chats. To send a message via the Telegram API, the bot will need the ID of the chat it will write to.

IMPORTANT. If you want to link the robot for sending notifications to your own profile, you can use the getUpdates method. It is easy to determine by ID the user account in front of you or a group by the symbol in front of the numeric code, the chat ID starts with a minus sign ("-").

How to find out "Telegram" ID

The main functionality of the messenger does not allow you to find out the chat ID or your own, the developers do not provide this option. In earlier versions of Telegram, it was possible to see the identifier in the community invitation link, see the ID of the creator of the group, as well as the user who made any entry in the chat. Now the developers have removed this oversight, because the messenger positions itself as the most secure, and the coverage of such personal information that anyone who wants to would recognize is not welcome.

However, sometimes you may want to get your own ID numbers or the bot conversation ID. To obtain this information, users have created special bots. In addition, if we know the token, we can get the chat id using a third-party service.

1. Add @MyTelegramID_bot to the bot's contact list. Start a dialogue with it with the /start command, in the response message you will find out the identifier numbers. You can also use the @GetMyIDBot or @my_id_bot bot for this purpose.
2. You can also get a chat id using third-party resources, such as the cmsru/kak-poluchit-chat-id-telegram/ service.
