Telegram broadcast messages to everyone who started your bot

Yes. A Telegram bot can send the same message to many users, as long as each of them has started a chat with the bot. You cannot use a bot to message phone numbers or usernames that never contacted it.

Only people who messaged your bot or pressed Start and have not blocked it. Telegram bots cannot start conversations, so grow your audience by sharing your t.me link, a QR code or a button on your website.

Telegram limits bulk sending to about 30 messages per second across users, about one message per second in a single chat and 20 messages per minute in a group. Bots with at least 100,000 monthly active users and 100,000 Stars can turn on paid broadcasts for up to 1,000 messages per second.

By default, bots message their users at no cost. Only paid broadcasts above the free 30 messages per second cost 0.1 Star per message. In MonoChat, outgoing messages count toward your plan, and the free plan includes 1,000 a month.

A channel post goes to every subscriber of the channel in the same way. A bot broadcast lands in each person’s private chat with your bot, can be sent to a specific segment, and every reply comes back to your inbox as a conversation.

People can stop or block your bot at any time. You can also add an unsubscribe button or command that tags the contact, and exclude that tag from every segment. Follow the consent rules that apply to marketing messages in your country.
