As an owner, I have the authority to administer the group as the owner, which includes altering the permissions, inviting new users, and appointing admins.

Keep Reading because, in this post, I will show you how to assign ownership of a Telegram group to someone else.

So, Let’s get started.

How to Transfer Telegram Group Ownership

A Telegram group is much like any other chat room where participants may send messages to one another.

Currently, Telegram has more than 550 million monthly active users. According to the number of downloads, telegram is one of the top 10 most prominent social media platforms worldwide.

The group administrators can, however, limit member communications and choose whether to keep the group public or private. Even other members can be promoted to admin status.

Several upgrades for Telegram’s users were provided last year, and transfer group ownership is one of them.

Using this function, an administrator can opt to hand over control of a group or channel to another administrator ID. Additionally, a feature named Transfer Ownership enables users to change the owner simply.

Before doing so, there are some prerequisites. If you have already activated Two-Factor Authentication, transferring group ownership to another user is a simple and quick process.

If not, you must wait at least seven days after activating authentication before proceeding.

The requirement doesn’t end there, though, as you must have been using the Telegram app for more than 24 hours.

You can give one of your admin’s ownership of a group when it’s time for you to transfer control. The group chat’s new owner will have complete authority over it, including the ability to manage its users.

Whether using the Telegram desktop or mobile app, you may provide group ownership to an administrator.

The process could be slightly different depending on the device you are using.

Not to worry. I’ll go through every step in detail here to help you understand how to change a Telegram channel’s ownership.
