Question 1

How do I create a Telegram link?

Accepted Answer

Add your username after t.me/, for example t.me/username. To include a ready-made message, add ?text= followed by the message. The generator above builds and encodes the link for you.

Question 2

Can I create a Telegram link with a phone number?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use t.me/+ followed by the number with its country code, for example t.me/+15551234567. The chat only opens if that account allows people to find it by phone number.

Question 3

How do I add a pre-filled message to a Telegram link?

Accepted Answer

Add ?text= and your message to the end of the link, for example t.me/username?text=Hello. The visitor sees the message typed in the chat box and can edit it before sending.

Question 4

What is the difference between a t.me link and a tg:// link?

Accepted Answer

A t.me link is a normal web link that works in any browser. A tg:// link is a deep link that opens the Telegram app directly and only works where the app is installed.

Question 5

Do Telegram links work for private channels?

Accepted Answer

Links built from a username only work for public profiles, channels, groups and bots. Private channels and groups use invite links, which you create inside Telegram.
