Guide
You need to be the group owner, or an admin with the right to pin messages and change group info.
Copy your rules from the generator above, paste them into the group, and send. If the generator split them, send each message in order.
Tap and hold the message (right-click on desktop) and choose Pin. The pinned message stays at the top of the chat, and members who join later can see it too.
Open the group's profile, tap Edit, then Welcome Message. Only new members see it, and it can hold media, several messages, and formatting. Point new members to the pinned rules there. If you do not see the option, update your Telegram app. On older setups, a welcome bot does this job.
In large groups, turn on Aggressive Anti-Spam. You can also require join requests for new members, and limit what members can post in the group permissions.
Source: the groups section of the Telegram FAQ. Telegram changes its apps often, so menu names can differ a little.
A regular Telegram message holds up to 4,096 characters. The generator counts against 4,096 and splits longer rules into separate messages.
Select the text in the message box and choose Bold from the formatting menu. Most Telegram apps also turn **text** into bold when you send the message. If your app does not, pick the plain format here and add bold with the menu.
Five to ten short rules is enough for most groups. People read the pinned message once, so put the most important rules first. In crypto and project groups, that is the scam warning.
Post clear rules about ads and links, and pin them. Then use Telegram's own tools: in large groups, turn on Aggressive Anti-Spam, and you can require join requests for new members. Group permissions let you stop members from posting some kinds of content, such as links or media.
Yes. Everything on this page is free to copy, change, and use. You do not need to credit anyone.
Not on newer apps. Telegram has a built-in welcome message that only new members see. Open the group's profile, tap Edit, then Welcome Message. If your app does not show it, update the app, or use a welcome bot.
