Telegram bots are quite famous nowadays. Bots are small applications that run entirely within the Telegram app. Users can interact with bots through text messages, commands, and more. Telegram says bots can handle reminders, file management, process payments, create custom tools, connect with external services and smart devices, and host games. Developers can use them to build social networks, monetise services, promote projects, among others. Earlier this year, Telegram expanded the features of bots, and they now support AI conversations, enable interactions with other bots, and automate chats.
Telegram bots are designed to provide a handy tool for users. They will assist you in tracking messages across channels, offer custom keyboards for specialised tasks, create polls, connect users based on shared interests, make new stickers, set reminders, among others. All these functions can be useful for work and studies, promoting business and organising daily tasks.

Telegram bots are created by third-party developers that run within Telegram using the Telegram Bot API. Therefore, Telegram recommends that users consider bots like strangers and never share passwords or confidential information, such as Telegram codes or banking details, with them. The messaging app also warns users not to open suspicious files.
If you don't want a bot to send you messages, you can block it like a human user. Bots can see your public name and profile pictures. The last seen or the user's phone number will not be visible to bots unless the user allows them.
