Title: Understanding Telegram UID and Usernames: A Quick Guide

Conclusion Understanding Telegram UID and usernames is crucial for user management and social interaction. A UID is a unique identifier for every user, group, channel, or bot, whereas a username serves as a user's public identity on Telegram. Having a good grasp of this information can significantly enhance your user experience.

Telegram Terminology Explained

UID

UID (User Unique Identifier) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every user, group, channel, and bot. This UID is immutable; if you delete your account and re-register, a new UID will be generated.

How to Check Your Own UID?

1. Official Client: The official Telegram client does not display the UID.
2. Using Bots: You can obtain your UID using the following bots:
   • @getidsbot
   • @Sean_Bot
   • @userinfobot
   • @username_to_id_bot
3. Third-party Clients: Some third-party clients may display the UID.

Purpose of UID

1. Search Functionality: While you cannot directly search for users using their UID, some clients allow you to find users via a link format, for example: tg://user?id=UID.
2. Management Functionality: Certain bots or userbots can utilise UIDs to mute or ban users.

Username

A username is a unique English identifier, ensuring that usernames for every user, group, channel, and bot are not duplicated. For example: @tgcnz, @tgcnx. Usernames can be left empty, or users can choose not to set one. However, setting a username makes it easier for others to find you in Telegram's global search.

Registration Date

Telegram does not display the account's registration date by default, but you can obtain an approximate registration date through bots or third-party clients, although this information may not be entirely accurate. You can use the following bots to check the registration date:

• @creationdatebot
• @getidsbot

By understanding Telegram UID and usernames, users can more effectively manage their social network and enhance their interaction experience.
