How to Activate Comments on Telegram Channels

If you have a Telegram channel, activating comments on your channel can help you receive comments from your channel members directly under each post you publish. In this post, we are going to explain the methods you can use to activate the comments section in your Telegram channel.

How to Activate Comments on a Telegram Channel

As the channel admin, you can easily enable commenting on any post you publish in your channel.
There are 3 ways you can use to do so:

1. Use the Discussion feature in the Telegram channel
2. Use CommentsBot
3. Use DiscussBot

In the following, we will discuss each in detail in the following.

Use the Discussion feature to Activate Comments on Telegram Channels

If you are a channel admin and you want to enable commenting for your channel posts, follow the steps below.

Important Note
Do not forget that before these steps, you must update your Telegram to the latest version! Otherwise, you will probably have trouble following the steps.

Step 1

Log in to your Telegram channel and open your channel profile.

Step 2

Then, if your phone is an iPhone, touch Edit at the top right of the image. If your phone is Android, touch the pencil (edit) icon.

Step 3

Then enter the Discussion section.

Step 4

Now you have to link a Telegram group (that you have created) to the channel. At this point, a list of the groups of which you are the admin will appear. You can select the group you want from this list or click “Create a New Group” to create a new comment group for your channel.

Step 5

Telegram then asks you if you want this selected group to be linked to the channel you want. Click on Link Group (If you created a new group in the previous step and linked it to your channel, Telegram will not ask you this question). After selecting a group, every post you publish on your channel will have a comment section and will be forwarded to your group.

After these steps, if your telegram has been updated and commenting on the Telegram channel is activated, you can see the comment section below the posts of that channel. This section is labeled Comments, and this text appears in it: "Leave a Comment". You can easily put your comments below this post.

Note
In this method, the ability to leave comments will be enabled for every post you publish in your channel afterwards.

You can also use some Telegram bots to enable commenting on your Telegram channel. In the following you will learn how!

Use the CommentsBot to Activate Comments on Your Telegram Channel

To use CommentsBot, follow the steps below.

Step 1

First, type @CommentsBot in Telegram search bar. Find this bot in the search results and click on it to open the bot.

Then you need to send the bot the text or photo that you want to be published with a comment section in your channel. Here the bot will send you a message showing your post has been received successfully.

Step 4

Click on Publish to publish the post along with the comment section in your channel.

Step 5

To see the comments that are placed on your posts in the channel, you can enter the channel and find the desired post. Then click on Comments to see all the comments that have been left on your post.

Tip
The good thing about using the CommentsBot is that after using this bot, not all of your channel posts will automatically have a comment section, and only the post you provided to this bot will have a comment section.

Use the DiscussBot to Activate Comments on Your Telegram Channel

To use DiscussBot to activate commenting on the Telegram channel, you must follow the steps below.

Step 1

First type @DissussBot in Telegram search bar. Then click on this ID to open the bot.

Now click on Promote To Admin.

After activating the comment using DiscussBot, the comments section will be added to each post you upload to the channel.

Important Notes on Activating Comment in Telegram Channels

1. If you forward a commented post to another person, your contact will only be able to see the post itself and will not be able to view the comments until they subscribe to the channel. This is one of the safe features in Telegram that makes it easy for users to comment and forward posts!
2. If a Telegram channel admin blocks you, you can no longer post comments on that channel! In addition, you will be expelled from that channel and will not be able to log in again!
3. An interesting feature of Telegram in the channel comments section is that you can chat with others as in a group! You can reply to their messages and easily discuss things together!
