How to Let People Message You Anonymously in a Telegram Group
Telegram groups have no built-in way to let members write to you without their name attached — every message in a group carries a username. If you want group members to be able to reach you anonymously (for feedback, questions, or anything sensitive), you share your AnonInboxProBot link in the group instead of relying on the group chat itself.
Anyone who opens the link and writes to you reaches your inbox without their identity showing — the group chat itself never sees the message at all, since it happens through the bot, not the group.
This suits a group that wants an anonymous suggestion box, a moderator wanting private feedback without a public callout, or anyone in a group who'd rather field questions privately than in the thread.
Steps
- Get your personal AnonInboxProBot link. DM @AnonInboxProBot and run /link (or /start the first time) to get your t.me link.
- Pin or post the link in the group. Post it as a pinned message, or drop it whenever you want to open the floor for anonymous questions or feedback from that group.
- A member taps the link and writes to you. It opens a chat with the bot, not the group — their message reaches your inbox without their identity attached, and nothing appears in the group itself.
- Reply through the bot's Reply button. Your answer goes back to them anonymously, the same way the message arrived — the group still sees nothing.
Good to know
- The exchange happens entirely inside DMs with the bot — nothing about it posts into the group chat itself.
- Messages are capped at 1,000 characters and 20 per hour per sender, on both tiers, to limit abuse.
- Free gives you 3 replies a day. Pro is a one-time 150 Stars (≈ $3) payment, no subscription, for unlimited replies and sender hints on incoming messages.
- Block silently stops a specific sender's future messages, with no notice sent to them, if someone misuses the link.
- The link itself doesn't identify the group it was shared in — someone opening it from a pinned message in your group and someone opening it from your bio look the same to the bot.
- You don't need to leave the group or change any group settings to set this up — the link is entirely separate from the group's membership and permissions.
FAQ
- Will the group see that someone messaged me anonymously?
- No — the whole exchange happens in DMs with AnonInboxProBot, not in the group chat. Nothing posts into the group when someone uses your link.
- Can I use the same link in more than one group?
- Yes — it's one personal link tied to your account, so you can share it in as many groups or places as you want; every anonymous message still lands in the same inbox.
- What if someone spams my link?
- Sending is capped at 1,000 characters and 20 messages per hour per sender. You can also Block a specific sender, which silently stops their future messages.
- Do I need to be an admin of the group to do this?
- No — you're not adding a bot to the group or changing any group settings. You're just sharing a personal link that opens a DM with the bot.
