How to Join a Private Group on Telegram
Telegram, like other social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp, allows users to join groups where group members can chat with each other simultaneously. Telegram groups can either be public or private. Public groups can be joined by anyone who has the group link or has searched for the group name and proceeded to join.
Private Telegram groups, on the other hand, are groups that have been created to accommodate only specific people that have the same interests, either family members or close friends. Private groups do not appear in the search results when searched meaning that people cannot join on their own. How then do you join a private group on Telegram?
