What is the username of Telegram's official announcement channel?

Telegram’s official announcement channel uses the username @Telegram.

The channel is commonly presented as “Telegram News” and serves as Telegram’s official presence inside its own messaging platform. It publishes product announcements, feature releases, service updates, and links to longer posts on Telegram’s official website. The channel’s username is simply @Telegram, which makes it distinct from unofficial channels that use words such as “News,” “Updates,” or “Channel” in their usernames.

Telegram’s announcement channel is an example of the broadcasting system introduced in 2015. Channels let an account distribute posts to a potentially unlimited number of subscribers without turning the conversation into a conventional group chat. Telegram has used the channel to announce major milestones and new capabilities, including bot features, supergroups, and later improvements to channels themselves.

Users should be careful when checking Telegram-related news because public usernames are easy for imitators to copy. Telegram itself has warned that official announcements are published through its official web properties and the verified @Telegram channel. The @ symbol is part of the public username used to locate the channel.
