# The Best Telegram Bots to Use Every Single Day

A [Telegram](https://telegram.org/) bot is an account managed by a program: you message it and it does something, whether it's reminding you of an appointment, alerting you when flight prices drop, or keeping spam out of a group. Before you start, there's one thing you should know: **the bot reads what you send it**, and in groups, if it has the right permissions, it can also read messages from others.

To use one, search for its username (the one starting with @) in the search bar, open the chat, and press **Start**. Below, you'll find the ones that still work, starting with official Telegram bots, which are the most reliable because they don't share your data with anyone else.

## Official bots

Telegram manages a few directly: get to know them before looking elsewhere.

- **@[BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots)** is the one you use to create your own bots. It's for developers, but also for anyone who wants to automate something for themselves (you'll find how further down).
- **@Stickers** manages the creation and publishing of your own sticker packs.
- **@gif**, **@pic**, and **@wiki** search for animations, images, and Wikipedia entries directly within any chat: just type the bot name, a space, and the word you want to search for.
- **@QuizBot** creates multi-question quizzes to share in groups—useful for school or for engaging a community.
- **@SpamBot** is the help desk to turn to if your account receives restrictions due to reports.

## Personal organization

**Reminders with @SkeddyBot.** You can tell it what and when, even via voice ("call the dentist tomorrow at 9"), and it will send you a message at the right time, including repetitions if needed. It's convenient because notifications arrive exactly where you already are looking. Keep in mind, however, that Telegram also has built-in **scheduled messages**: in Saved Messages, long-press the send button and choose **Schedule Message**.

**Lists and notes.** For groceries, ideas, or links to read later, **Saved Messages** are often enough (with Telegram Premium, you can even organize them with tags). A bot is only necessary if you want shared lists or linked reminders.

**Cheap flights with @airtrack_bot.** Set your airports and dates, and the bot will alert you when prices change.

**Shipping.** Send it a tracking code and the bot will notify you of every update without you having to open the courier's website. However, a shipping code identifies an order and an address: use bots with a good reputation, not just the first one that pops up in search results.

**Meetings with @zoombot.** Zoom's official bot creates a meeting from any chat with a single command and gives you back the link to share.

**Temporary emails with @DropMailBot.** It provides a disposable address so you can sign up for websites without giving away your real email, and it shows incoming messages directly in the chat.

## Files and content

This is the most searched category, and the one that requires the most caution.

There are bots that download videos from social media, convert files (like **@FileConvertBot**), compress images, extract audio, and merge PDFs. They work, but keep three things in mind:

1. **The file passes through the bot's servers.** For a public video, this isn't an issue; for a private document, it is.
2. **Copyright still applies.** Downloading protected content to redistribute it is illegal regardless of the tool used.
3. **Many don't last long.** They are created, work for a few months, and then disappear or become filled with ads.

To convert and compress your files, desktop software is better: it doesn't upload anything anywhere and doesn't depend on anyone else.

## Games

**@gamee** is the largest gaming platform on Telegram: arcade games and puzzles that you can start in any chat, complete with leaderboards and challenges against friends. Nowadays, many games run as **Mini Apps**, small applications that open inside Telegram without needing to install anything.

![Gamee card, the gaming platform on Telegram](https://www.alemasone.com/it/migliori-bot-telegram/scheda-bot-gamee-telegram.png "Gamee: games and leaderboards directly in chat")

On the other hand, be wary of games that promise cryptocurrency earnings or ask you to invite friends to "unlock" rewards: these are prime territory for scams.

## Bots for managing groups

This is where bots are most useful, because manually moderating a large group is impossible. First of all, however, enable Telegram's **Aggressive Anti-Spam**, which is available in groups with 200 members or more (**Group Info** → **Edit** → **Administrators**): it uses an automatic filter and requires no bot at all.

For everything else, the most used are:

- **@MissRose_bot** (Rose): word filters, alerts, welcome messages, notes, and a ban system shared across groups. It's free and configured using commands.
- **@Shieldy**: provides a quick test for new members to solve, for free. For small groups, this is enough.
- **@GroupHelpBot**: features verification upon entry, filters, and welcome messages with a convenient dashboard; it is very widely used in Italian groups.
- **@combot**: anti-spam plus detailed statistics on members and activity, free for up to 200 members.

Typical functions include:

- **Anti-spam filters** that recognize promotional messages and new members who post links as their first message.
- **Join Request**, which asks for confirmation before allowing anyone to write: this stops almost all automated accounts.
- **Rules and welcome messages** shown automatically to new members.
- **Polls and statistics** to understand who is participating and when.

> **Only grant the necessary permissions.** An admin bot can read all messages, kick people, and change settings. Only grant the permissions required for its specific function: a welcome bot doesn't need permission to remove members, and an anti-spam bot doesn't need to be able to change the group name.

## How to recognize a reliable bot

- **Get them from a credible source:** the project website, an official channel, or a curated collection. Never from a private message. Well-known bots also have a **verification badge** next to their name.
- **Check the exact name.** Fraudulent bots use names nearly identical to well-known ones, with one letter changed or an extra character added.
- **No legitimate bot will ever ask for your Telegram login code.** If it does, it is an account theft attempt: never share that code with anyone, under any circumstances.
- **Beware of bots promising earnings**, free cryptocurrency, or free subscribers: these are scams, without exception.
- **Check if there is a privacy policy.** Serious projects declare what data they store.

![Illustration of a Telegram search showing two bots with nearly identical names: the verified original and a copy with one different letter](bot-telegram-nomi-simili-differenza.png "A single letter difference is enough to mistake one bot for another")

> **Clean up occasionally.** Open the chat of any bot you no longer use, tap the name at the top, and choose **Stop and block bot**. From **Settings** → **Devices**, you can also check active sessions and close any that you don't recognize.

## Creating your own

It is easier than it looks and solves the trust issue: if the bot is yours, the data stays yours.

1. Message **@BotFather** and send the `/newbot` command.
2. Choose a visible name and a username that ends with `bot`.
3. You will receive an access code: this is your bot's key and should be treated like a password.
4. From that point on, you can program its behavior using any of the available libraries for Python, JavaScript, and other languages.

![Conversation with BotFather, the official Telegram bot that guides you through creating a new bot](https://www.alemasone.com/it/migliori-bot-telegram/botfather-chiede-dati-accesso-telegram.png "BotFather asks for a name and username, then provides the access code")

A useful personal bot can be written in just a few dozen lines of code: a reminder, an alert when a website changes, or a notification from a home sensor. If you don't program, automation services like IFTTT, Make, or n8n can connect a Telegram bot to other services without writing any code.

## FAQ

### Can bots read my private messages?

They read what you send directly to them—this is inevitable because that is how they work. They also see your name, username, and ID, but not your phone number unless you share it. They do not have access to your other conversations. In groups, it's different: a bot with the appropriate permissions, especially if it is an admin, can read group messages.

### Are bots free?

Almost all bots can, and some charge for advanced features, often using Stars, Telegram's internal currency. When a complex service is completely free and has no ads, ask yourself how it stays afloat: sometimes the answer is the data it collects.

### Can I use a bot to download videos from social media?

They work, but with two limitations. The first is legal: protected content cannot be redistributed, and many platforms prohibit this in their terms of service. The second is practical: these bots constantly appear and disappear, and some force you to join several channels before they will work.

### How do I remove a bot from a group?

From the group member list, just like any other participant. If it was an admin, first revoke its permissions and check that it hasn't left pinned messages or changed settings. To stop a bot in your private chat instead, tap its name and choose **Stop bot**.

### What is the difference between a bot and a channel?

A channel broadcasts messages to subscribers in one direction only. A bot is interactive: it responds to commands and can perform actions. Many projects use both, using the channel for announcements and the bot for individual requests.
