Title: Understanding Telegram UID and Usernames: A Quick Guide

Conclusion Understanding Telegram UIDs and usernames is crucial for user management and social interaction. A UID is a unique identifier for every user, group, channel, or bot, while a username serves as a user's public identity on Telegram. Mastering this information can 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 unchangeable; if you delete and re-register an account, a new UID will be generated.

How to Check Your 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 can display the UID.

What is the UID Used For?

1. Search Functionality: Although you cannot directly search for users by UID, some clients allow finding users using a link format, for example: tg://user?id=UID.
2. Management Functions: Some bots or userbots can utilize UIDs to mute or ban users.

Username

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

Registration Date

Telegram does not display the account 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 UIDs and usernames, users can more effectively manage their social network and enhance their interaction experience.
