The basic mechanism of adding friends in Telegram
First of all, Telegram is different from WeChat and WhatsApp in that it emphasizes "decentralization" and "privacy first". This is also reflected in its contact system:
● Telegram does not promote "adding friends", but rather establishing connections through
joining groups, channels, private chats, and clicking on links . ● To add someone as a friend, you must have their username or phone number . The system does not provide "nearby people" or "recommend adding" functions.
● Telegram's "friends" are actually "contacts", which essentially means the permission to open private chats. There is no similar process of friend request-acceptance.
So, technically speaking, as long as you have the other person's username or phone number, you can start a chat directly. This mechanism is convenient and efficient, but it also makes adding friends very sensitive and can easily be judged as harassment by the system.
Are there any restrictions on adding friends in Telegram?
The answer is: Yes, and the restrictions are very strict.
Telegram has developed a very strict risk control mechanism to prevent advertising, harassment, and fraud accounts from abusing the add friend function. The system monitors the following behaviors:
● Number of new contacts added every day
● Whether you frequently send private messages to strangers
● Whether you add people from multiple accounts in a short period of time
● Whether the added contacts are from the same group
● Whether you send repeated or advertising messages
● Whether you are frequently reported or blocked
Once you trigger one of the above behaviors, the system may restrict your account, such as:
● Temporarily unable to add contacts
● Unable to send messages to non-contact users
● Restrict group and channel joining permissions
● Directly ban the account
How many friends can I add in one day?
There is no official explanation for this issue, but based on a lot of practical experience and feedback from Telegram operators, a relatively safe range can be given:
● For newly registered accounts (within 1-3 days),
it is recommended to add no more than 5 to 10 people a day to avoid frequent operations, especially for "blank slate accounts" that have just been registered and do not have avatars, user names, or chat records. Risk control is very sensitive.
● The number of people added to an account that has been maintained for more than a week
can be appropriately increased to 20-30 per day , provided that there is a time interval between each addition to avoid continuous additions in a short period of time.
● Some old
accounts that have been maintained for more than one month can safely add no more than 50 people , especially accounts with real chat behavior, friend interaction, and group joining records, which are relatively stable.
● For corporate or batch operation accounts,
if you use professional multi-opening tools, such as the Fbsee aggregation multi-opening system , with independent environment and IP, you can differentiate the friend-adding behavior of each account, thereby expanding the daily addition limit.
In short, the number of friends you add is not absolute. It is related to the age, behavior, environment configuration, chat history, and frequency of user interaction of your account .
What are the ways to add friends? Which is the safest?
The following are common ways to add friends on Telegram and their risk level analysis:
● Adding contacts by mobile phone number
As long as you know the other party's mobile phone number, you can start chatting directly. The risk is that frequently adding unfamiliar numbers can easily lead to being blocked or reported.
● Direct private chat via username
is more commonly used than mobile phone number. You can start a private chat by clicking on your link or by searching for the other party's username. You need to pay attention to the rhythm of your behavior and do not frequently jump to another number or copy and paste to send.
● After adding the target group through group or channel diversion
, take the initiative to privately chat with group members. This method is frequently used. However, the risk is also high, and the account may be blocked if the frequency of reports increases.
● Through the tg.me short link jump
, you can add the tg.me/username link in the promotion to guide users to actively chat with you privately. This method is the most secure and suitable for mass promotion.
When it comes to recommended methods, it is safer to choose the latter two methods, especially to attract users to add you actively , which is the most recommended low-risk strategy in Telegram operations.
How to expand Telegram friends safely?
If you want to expand your contacts in large numbers without getting blocked, here are some strategies you can use as a reference:
● Add people across multiple accounts and control the frequency of each account.
For example, if you need to add 100 people a day, you can distribute them among 5 accounts and add 20 people to each account. This will not only reduce the risk of single numbers, but also increase the total amount.
● Set a personalized user name and avatar to simulate real user behavior.
"Blank accounts" (no information, no avatar, no chat history) are most susceptible to risk control. Complete information can significantly reduce risk control risks.
● Keep the interval between actions, avoid
adding people in batches for 20 to 60 seconds, and do not add or send messages continuously. Using tools to achieve "automatic + random" will have better results.
● Interact appropriately with existing contacts to increase account activity
through real chat records, joining groups, posting updates, etc. to allow the system to identify you as a normal user.
● Use professional multi-opening tools to isolate the account environment,
such as using the Fbsee aggregation system , configure independent IP, fingerprint information, cache and timestamp for each account to prevent accounts from being associated with each other.
