Step 1: Open the Telegram App

First, open the Telegram app on your phone. Once you’re in the app, look for three lines in the top left corner of the screen. Tap on those lines.

Step 2: Start a New Group

After you tap the lines, a menu will pop up. The second option in this menu says “New Group.” Tap on that. You’ll now see your contact list, where you can select the people you want to add to your group. Once you’ve chosen your group members, tap the arrow icon at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Name Your Group

Now it’s time to name your group. Type in the name you want for your group. You’ll also see a small camera icon next to the group name. If you want to, you can tap on this to add a picture for your group by choosing a photo from your gallery. If you don’t want to add a picture, you can skip this part.

Step 4: Choose Auto-Delete (Optional)

Telegram has an option to automatically delete messages after a certain time. You can set the messages to disappear after one day, a week, or even a month. If you don’t want your messages to auto-delete, you can leave this option off.

Step 5: Finish Creating the Group

Once you’ve named the group (and added a picture if you wanted), tap the small tick icon in the bottom right corner. This will finish the setup and create your group. Congratulations, your Telegram group is ready!

Step 6: Share Your Feedback

The process is complete, and now you can start chatting with your group. If you found this guide helpful, feel free to share your feedback.
