How to Embed Messages in Telegram – One slick feature that seems quite underrated in the world’s favorite chat app is the ability to embed messages in Telegram.
Pinning a message keeps it at the top of your chat list, ensuring you can access it quickly and easily. You can pin your private chats or those in groups and that’s very useful indeed.
I pin messages quite often. These tend to be conversation threads I want to return to or when people post links I don’t have time to check right away but would like to check them out later.
I can pin a chat, access it quickly, then unpin it when I’ve done what I want. Groups often pin important messages to ensure each member has a chance to read them.

How to Embed Messages on Telegram
It’s very easy to embed a message in Telegram, which is why I use it a lot. You can pin chats between individuals or groups and the process is exactly the same.
- Open the chat you want to embed in Telegram.
- Tap and hold on the chat until a popup box appears.
- Select Pin, choose whether to let everyone know you pinned it.
- Select OK.
The chat will then stay at the top of your message screen and be ready for you to do what you need to do with it. If you no longer need to pin, repeat the steps above but select Unpin.
That’s not all you can do with Telegram chat. Here are some Telegram tips and tricks that will enhance your experience.

One unusual but welcome feature in Telegram is the ability to edit messages even after you’ve sent them. If you send a group message or chat with someone important and notice a glaring typo, you can open the message and edit it after the incident.
- Open the chat you want to edit in Telegram.
- Long press on the screen.
- Select the pencil icon from the popup box.
- Make your changes and select OK.
The message will then be changed for everyone. This will display a pencil icon to show everyone that it has also been edited.
Reply to messages from your Home screen
Just like you can reply to SMS notifications from your phone’s Home screen, you can do the same in Telegram. You’ll need to enable the function first, but if you’re usually quick to miss when replying, this could save you precious seconds.
- Open Telegram and select Settings.
- Select Notifications and Sounds.
- Enable Popup Notifications.
This setting will display a notification on your Home screen when you receive a message. You can then tap on the message and reply directly.
Read Telegram messages without telling the sender
If curiosity overwhelms you and you can’t wait to read messages but don’t have time for a protracted chat, you can read Telegram messages secretly. It uses the same method of other chat apps, airplane mode.
- Allow Telegram to download messages as usual.
- Enable Airplane mode on your phone.
- Open and read your Telegram message.
- Shut down Telegram until you want read receipts sent.
It’s an old trick but still useful.
Hide your last time on Telegram
There are times when you sneak into Telegram but you don’t want certain friends to know about it. The reasons are many and likely all valid, so it’s best if you hide the Last Seen setting.
- Open Telegram and select Settings.
- Select Privacy and Security.
- Change Last Seen.
In the Last Seen settings, you can choose who can see what and even add exceptions to any rules you define. This is a neat little feature that comes in handy at times.
Sort your chats by hashtag
If you have a busy group on Telegram, it might be useful to sort all your conversations by hashtag. It works the same way as on Twitter. They allow you to quickly search for a specific hashtag. Ideal for busier groups.
- Open the message in Telegram.
- Type a hashtag (#) followed by a meaningful term.
You can then search using that hashtag, just like everyone else in the group did.
Stop GIFs from autoplaying on Telegram
I’ve never really liked GIFs. I find them very annoying and not funny all the time. The ability to stop them from auto-rotating and flashing or moving on your phone is invaluable. Here’s how to enable the setting.
- Open Telegram and select Settings.
- Disable GIF Autoplay.
Enjoy a GIF-free Telegram experience with this simple fix. You can still play GIFs when you select them but they no longer blink bothering you until you manually trigger them.
