How to Get an Anonymous Message Link for Telegram

If you want people to be able to write to you on Telegram without you seeing who they are — the way anonymous Q&A links work on other platforms — you need a bot in the middle, because Telegram itself always attaches your name to a DM. AnonInboxProBot's whole job is being that middle layer: it hands you a personal link, and anyone who opens it can message you without showing you who they are.

Setting one up takes one command, and the link works anywhere you can paste a URL — a Telegram bio, a group pin, a story on another app.

It's a personal link tied to your own account, not a shared inbox — every message that comes through it is addressed to you specifically, and only you see the replies thread with each sender. Whether one person uses it or a hundred do, everything lands in the same private inbox under your account.

A typical setup: you post the link in a group or your bio, someone curious opens it, they type a note in the chat the bot opens, and you answer back through the Reply button — the whole exchange stays inside the bot, out of any public chat.

Steps

  1. Open a DM with AnonInboxProBot. Search @AnonInboxProBot in Telegram and start a chat — there's no sign-up beyond your existing Telegram account.
  2. Run /start. This shows your inbox and confirms the bot is set up for your account. If you reached the bot by opening someone else's link, /start instead begins an anonymous message to that person.
  3. Run /link to get your personal link. This shows the t.me link tied to your account — anyone who opens it can send you an anonymous message. /inbox is an alias for the same command if you forget it.
  4. Share the link wherever you want anonymous messages. Put it in your Telegram bio, pin it in a group, or send it to specific people. You can also run /story for caption text formatted for a story, and /prompts for a ready-made prompt line that invites messages.
  5. Reply through the bot when a message comes in. Use the Reply button on the message — your answer goes back to the sender anonymously, the same way it arrived. You can also turn a message into a public-answer card that shows your answer plus the question and your link, with the sender's identity never shown, ready to post to a story or a chat.

FAQ

Do I have to pay to get an anonymous message link?
No — getting your link with /link and receiving messages is free. The free tier limits you to 10 replies (quota counts replied-to messages received in the past 24 hours); Pro is a one-time 150 Stars payment for unlimited replies.
Where should I share my link?
Anywhere you can paste a URL — your Telegram bio, a pinned message in a group you're in, or sent directly to someone who asks how to reach you anonymously.
Can I stop a specific person from messaging me?
Yes, tap Block on any of their messages and future messages from that sender are silently dropped, with no notice sent to them.
Will I ever find out who sent a message?
You never see the sender's name, username or account id. You can get a hint: the first letter of the sender's name, whether the sender has a username, the send time, and how many messages that sender sent you. The send time and the count are free. The first letter and the username yes or no are paid with Telegram Stars, or come with Pro.
Can the sender ever be traced back to me as the recipient?
No more than you'd expect: the free tier never shows the sender who you are beyond your link, and on your side the bot stores enough to let you reply and block — a sender id, your id, and the message body — but never a public reveal of either identity. It is a one-way anonymous channel in both directions.
Does my link expire?
No. The link stays tied to your account and keeps working until you stop using the bot, so you can pin it once and leave it.
How do I moderate abuse when the sender is anonymous?
Three layers: the 1,000-character and 20-per-hour caps slow down any single abusive sender, the Block button silently drops a repeat offender with no notice to them, and you can stop replying at any time since the exchange only ever exists in your inbox with the bot.
