In the past few years, the telegram has created an uproar among people. This is a platform where one can find like-minded people as well as specific content catered to their interests. Joining a group or channel could let them enjoy all kinds of content. And with the new feature to add comments to your telegram channel, the communication within the channel is bound to get stronger. Since it is a new update only available in versions above 7.0, users may not be yet familiar with how to use it. So, in this article, we will demonstrate ways you can add comments to your telegram using mobiles as well as a desktop application.
How to Add Comments to Your Telegram Channel using Mobile App?

4. Go to your channel settings and choose ‘Subscriber‘.

7. Click on the tick icon to save.
The comment section will be added to the post on your telegram. This way bots will automatically add comments to your telegram channel.
How to Disable Comments on Your Telegram Channel?

Why can’t I Comment on a Telegram Post?
If the admin of the channel has blocked you, you will no longer be able to comment on a telegram post. In addition to that, you will also be kicked out of the group and cannot log back in. Therefore, we advise you to stick to the rules on the channel.
If I Forward a Commented Post to Someone Outside the Channel, Can They See the Comments as well?
No, even if you forward a commented post to someone, they will not be able to view comments unless they are also a part of the channel. However, they can subscribe to the group any time and see the comments on the post if they want.
