How Does Telegram Work?

Telegram is similar to Facebook Messenger and other texting apps. You can send your contacts text messages, web links, or images and join groups to communicate with numerous people at the same time. What sets Telegram apart from its rivals is its stickers, which can be customized and made by anyone for free.

How to Create Telegram Sticker Packs

Unlike other platforms that limit chat sticker creations to paid sponsorships or require a lengthy approval process, Telegram lets anyone create sticker sets in the official Telegram apps and publish stickers live for all users to use. The sticker creation process involves the use of the built-in Telegram chatbot. Here’s how to use it to create Telegram stickers on the platform for everyone to use.

How to Share Telegram Stickers

After adding a Telegram sticker pack to the app, you can share it with anyone. Open the sticker box, as shown above, select the name of the sticker pack, and then select Share Stickers. This copies the web URL of the Telegram sticker pack to your device’s clipboard. You can send the URL to friends in a Telegram message, email, or another chat app. You can also post a link to it on your blog or website.

Is There a Stickers Telegram App?

There isn’t an official Stickers Telegram app, though some unofficial ones may be available within the iOS and Android app stores. Such apps aren’t needed because the main official Telegram app has all of the sticker functionality you’ll need.

Are Telegram Stickers Copyrighted or Protected?

There isn’t an approval process when you create Telegram stickers. Stickers can be removed if you use copyrighted material in them and the owner of the property requests that they be taken down. It’s best to use original artwork or concepts for your Telegram stickers. If you think your pack has been removed by accident, contact Telegram by email at abuse@telegram.org.
