Telegram, the messaging app, is rapidly rising in popularity. Although Russians Nikolai and Pavel Durov founded Telegram in 2013, it has only recently become a serious competitor to messenger giants WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. It focuses more on encryption and privacy than the Facebook apps. For example, users can have 'secret chats' and send self-destructing messages (much like Snapchat). Telegram has also led the way in terms of AI, and it encourages you to make, download and use specialist Telegram bots, although it hasn't yet developed a formal marketplace for these.

Although not as yet as well-known as Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, Telegram has become popular because of these features:
Fast messaging
Unlimited file sharing size
Being cloud-based, making it totally portable
Accessible on the Web as well as mobile
Telegram users can set up channels and broadcast content to their followers. People subscribe to their favorite channels.
Bots are small programs that run inside Telegram that enable automation. Third-party developers make bots using the Telegram Bot API. Telegram does have a few official bots for specific purposes, e.g., @gif and @GDPRbot. Any channel owner can run one or more bots to automate processes in their channels.
A chatbot is a specific type of bot. However, there are multiple other uses for bots. If you can visualize a way to automate a process in Telegram, then you can probably find or write a bot to do the job for you.
Bots can even offer their users HTML5 games to play solo or compete against each other in groups and one-on-one chats. Bots can keep track of high scores for every game played in every chat. Whenever there's a new leader in a game, bots can notify other playing members in the chat that they need to step it up.
The lack of a formal marketplace and official bot creation tool has slowed the acceptance of Telegram bots. Hopefully, Telegram rectifies these glaring omissions before long. In the meantime, you will either need to make your own bot (not as tricky as it sounds when you use the bot, BotFather – see below for details) or find an existing app that does what you want. This post suggests some of the best Telegram bots of 2021 that you can use as a starting point.
A Viral Telegram Game Promises Crypto Coins for Clicks. What’s the Catch?

Clicker Telegram mini-games, where players generate virtual currency by tapping their phone screens, have gone viral on the Russian-speaking internet.
The largest of these, Hamster Kombat, claims to have amassed 200 million users in just a few weeks and runs the world’s largest Telegram channel. Its growing popularity has sparked concerns from both Russian and Ukrainian authorities.
Here's everything you need to know about this wildly popular game.
What is Hamster Kombat and how does it work?
Launched in March as a bot on the popular messenger Telegram, Hamster Kombat revolves around tapping on the image of a hamster to earn in-game rewards.
Players take on the role of the CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange, working to upgrade their business.
The more you tap, the more points you earn, allowing your character to level up.
Much of the hype surrounding the game stems from the expectation that its in-game tokens will eventually be converted into real-value cryptocurrencies and distributed to players.
The launch of the game’s cryptocurrency is scheduled for July, but the exact date is unknown. How much these coins will be worth and how they will be distributed to players have also not been specified.
“I don’t have any concrete expectations, but I hope to make at least some profit out of it,” Andrei, 34, a video editor from St. Petersburg who has been playing the game every day for about a month, told The Moscow Times.
It is unclear who is behind the game, but an investigation by the independent media outlet The Bell revealed that one of its founders is Eduard Gurinovich, a Russian IT entrepreneur and founder of CarPrice, an online auction platform for used cars.
The Bell’s sources also indicated that the game has ties to Telegram and its founder Pavel Durov.
The game’s Russian origins are further highlighted by its use of the term “hamster,” a Russian slang word for an inexperienced investor who impulsively follows the latest trends.
“The game’s developers have a genius sense of humor,” says Yevgeny, 30, a popular Russian YouTuber and gamer. “Essentially, they made a game about hamsters for hamsters.”
