## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **[Telegram](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95286/how-can-i-chat-with-a-non-mutual-contact-on-telegram) [groups](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/34156/what-are-groups-in-signalr-and-how-can-you-use-them-to-manage-chat-rooms)** can have up to 200,000 members, whereas Telegram channels can have an unlimited number of users. All members of a Telegram group can view and communicate with each other. A Telegram channel subscriber, on the other hand, is unable to observe the other participants.
- Similarly, you can easily track how many people have viewed your Telegram messages. Telegram groups, on the other hand, do not have this feature.
- When new subscribers join a Telegram channel, they can immediately access the whole message history. In Telegram groups, this feature is also available.
