About Teleteg

A public Telegram search engine — built for the people who need to understand what's happening on the platform.

What We Do

Teleteg is a search engine that indexes public Telegram channels and groups and makes them searchable with structured filters. It was built to solve a real problem: Telegram hosts millions of public communities, but its native search is too limited for anyone who needs to find, evaluate, or monitor them systematically.

With Teleteg, you can search by keyword, filter by language, location, member count, and activity level, and get structured results with enough metadata to make informed decisions — without clicking through hundreds of groups manually.

Who Uses It

Our users include journalists and fact-checkers monitoring how narratives spread across Telegram communities, researchers mapping the structure of public discourse on the platform, NGOs and advocacy organisations tracking topics relevant to their work, community managers looking for collaboration partners or adjacent audiences, OSINT practitioners and open-source investigators mapping public Telegram communities around specific events, regions, or topics, and businesses conducting legitimate market and competitive research.

The common thread is a need for structured, reliable access to public Telegram data — something that native search can't provide at any meaningful scale.

What We Index

Teleteg indexes only publicly available information from Telegram channels and groups — the same data visible to any Telegram user without authentication: channel names, usernames, descriptions, member counts, language, and activity metrics. We do not collect private messages, personal user data, or any information from private communities.

Our Approach to Quality

We actively moderate what the platform surfaces. Communities that violate Telegram's terms of service, promote illegal content, or exist to facilitate harm are excluded from our index. We maintain a content policy and enforce it through both automated filtering and manual review. Our goal is a search tool that's useful for legitimate purposes — not one that makes it easier to find communities that shouldn't exist.

Background

Teleteg was founded in 2022 and is operated as a US-registered company. We've indexed tens of millions of public Telegram communities across hundreds of languages and continue to expand coverage and improve search quality.

We're a small, focused team. Questions, feedback, or concerns can be directed to our support team via Telegram at @teleteg_support or by email at support@teleteg.com.
