The popularity of Telegram has been constantly growing in recent years.

But how can you join a Telegram group? What steps should be followed? This article will provide you with a detailed and easy-to-follow tutorial to join a Telegram group.
Install and configure Telegram
The first step to joining a Telegram group is, naturally, to have the Telegram app installed on your device. Telegram is available for both Android and iOS devices, and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store or App Store, respectively.
To install Telegram:
- Open your app store and enter “Telegram” in the search bar.
- Select the official Telegram app from the list of results and click “Install” or “Get”.
- Wait for the download and installation to complete and then click “Open” to launch the application.
Creating a Telegram account
Once you have installed the app on your device, the next step is to create an account on Telegram. This can be done by following the steps below:
- Open the Telegram app and select “Start Chatting”.
- You will be asked to enter your phone number. Enter it and click "Next."
- Telegram will send you a confirmation code via SMS. Enter this code in the app to confirm your phone number.
- You will then be asked to enter your name and, optionally, a profile photo. Click “Next” once completed.
Join a Telegram group
To join a Telegram group:

Joining a private group on Telegram is a little different. To do this, you will need the group administrator to send you an invitation.
To join a private Telegram group:
- Click the invitation link sent by the group administrator.
- You will be redirected to Telegram, where you will see an option to join the group. Click “Join Group.”
Using Telegram on a computer

Once you're in the Telegram desktop app, joining a group is the same as the mobile version:
