When it comes to links, you, of course, imagine some kind of URL. Right to the point, Telegram group links are simply the URL of the group, commonly used to invite people to join. Instead of inviting people manually, you may use links to get things done promptly and smoothly. 

In general, there are two types of Telegram group links to consider: shareable and admin-generated. If you want to share a link from a public group, the process is effortless. But private group links can only be shared with admin permission. However, we point out this article as it can be named as a specific strategy for earning social media backlinks. 

Before getting any further and exploring how you can technically share a Telegram group link through different platforms, let’s first have a quick overview of the key benefits Telegram groups offer:

• Community building: Aiming to gain backlinks through social media like Facebook and LinkedIn, you probably consider groups. And that is for a reason: here you can effortlessly deal with a big targeted audience. The same is true for Telegram groups, which can welcome up to 200,000 members.
  
• Content promotion: Content sharing is probably one of the core reasons for utilizing social media groups. In the Telegram, you can promote different content, like images, videos, text, and clickable links. The latest drives traffic to your website.
• Cross-platform reach: Telegram offers sharing group links through other social media or sending in direct messages, letting you effectively grow your audience.

Personalized customer service: In addition to content promotion and community building, Telegram groups may also be used for customer support. This way, businesses can promptly address customer inquiries, therefore elevating client satisfaction.

We have already mentioned that Telegram offers two types of groups , public and private. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for link sharing for them. Moreover, depending on the device you use, there are a few technical differences to get to the point. Let’s first have a look at the steps you need to share a public group link. 

How to Share a Telegram Group Link on iOS

Here are the basic steps you need to share a group’s link from your iPhone:

• Go to the group.
• Press on the group’s name (at the top of the chat). 
• From two options: “Add member” and “Invite link”, select the latter. 
• Tap on the “Copy link” or “Share” button.

How to Share a Telegram Group Link on Android

On Android, the group sharing process is slightly different. The first and the last steps are the same as in iOS. Here is what to consider under the 2nd and 3rd points:

• You have the opportunity to press the group’s name and the three dots for the menu. 
• The “Add member” option is not available. Here, you have only the “Invite to Group via Link” option. 

How to Share a Telegram Group Link on Desktop

Lastly, if you want to share a group’s link via desktop, take the first two steps we have suggested under the iOS part, then take the following steps:

• Click “View group info,” under the “Group name,” to find the invitation link and copy it.  
• To share it, manually paste it into your desired platform or chat.

Now that we are on the same page about the technical nuances of Telegram public group link sharing, let’s see how to get to the point with private groups. Unlike public groups, here there are three common steps for every platform. Let’s skim through them:

• Primarily, click on the group’s name and select “Group settings.”
• Afterward, choose “Invite to group via link.”
• Finally, copy the link and share it via your desired app.
  

As you see, sharing Telegram private group links is also simple technically. However, notice that to take the above-mentioned steps, you first need the admin’s permission.

Well, now you know how to share your Telegram group links, but let’s admit that it’s no guarantee that you will engage people to join your group merely by sharing the link. To get there, make your link-sharing process interesting. Let’s skim through the core steps; it’s worth considering:

• Write an Interesting and Short Introduction

Needless to say, your audience should understand what kind of group they are going to join, why it may be of interest to them, and what they will gain. So include some creative and informative description about the group. 

• Utilize Relevant Social Media

You probably utilize different social media platforms. Yet it doesn’t mean that it’s wise to share your Telegram group link across all of them. For example, if the group is more for Gen Z with inersign life hacks about daily routines, then probably TikTok and Instagram will work best. If your group covers a specific niche like digital marketing, then also include LinkedIn and Facebook with relevant groups in it.

• Use QR Codes

What do you usually do when you see a restaurant menu QR code on the table? Probably scan it and skim through the menu instead of opening a printed one behind you. Or you may not even ask a physical one. My point is that we love interacting with QR codes, whether it’s a menu at the café or a code on some wellness product we find. 

So, if you have some printed marketing material, then include your Telegram group QR on it. Many people will feel inclined to scan it. If they find your group interesting, they will undoubtedly press the “Join” button.

At first glance, you might think, “Why would I need to prevent people from joining my Telegram group?” But in some cases, you may actually need to revoke your group link.

Let’s say you notice that, although your group member count is rising, you do not have your desired audience. So, probably your link was shared on spammy channels and, as a result, many irrelevant users became its members.

Fortunately, Telegram has a plan for such cases. It allows you to revoke group links. That is to say, generate a new link. As a result, the old one becomes outdated, thus preventing spam activity.

In some cases, you may require a Telegram group for temporary usage. For example, if you organize some events and create a group to share news and information about the event, it will become useless after the event ends. In such cases, you can just create temporary links. 

From my own experience, I can say that Telegram groups have the power to elevate brand awareness, build a strong customer base, and drive traffic to your desired platforms. So, having Telegram groups as an addition to your marketing tools will be a wise move. 

In this guide, we have explored core benefits to expect from Telegram groups and technical aspects to consider when sharing group links. So, you get things done effortlessly.
