Here is how to report fake groups or channels in Telegram.
Report A Telegram Channel
Reporting a channel on Telegram is rather easy, fortunately. If you come across a Telegram channel that’s fake, spreads hate speech or harmful lies, you can report it by following the steps below. If none of the given reasons apply to your case, you can select Other and explain your reasoning.
How to Report Fake Telegram Groups
Reporting public telegram groups is just as easy and similar to reporting a telegram channel. Telegram is one of the very first messaging apps that came out as a rival to the growing success of WhatsApp. At least, in the beginning, the Telegram app even looked a little like WhatsApp. Telegram is, and was, focused more on user privacy and features while WhatsApp focused on being simple. With users, privacy and anonymity come some unwanted elements too. Even WhatsApp has lately been under a lot of fire for being a vehicle of harmful content. Telegram is not so different. Telegram’s privacy features such as end-to-end encryption, secret chats, self-destructing messages, etc. make it much easier for bad actors to spread harmful messages and never get caught. Thus, reporting harmful content when we encounter it becomes a duty. Hopefully, the steps mentioned above on how to report fake groups and channels on Telegram were useful to you.
