[This is the 🇺🇸English version! Click to read in 🇩🇪German]

OUTDATED - NOT UPDATED ANYMORE.

Finding new good Bots in Telegram is actually pretty hard. Telegram doesn't have an overview over all existing bots nor a page where you can see featured bots (e.g. like sticker section).

This article should help you getting introduced to the world of bots. Bots are the future of messaging and communication. They are third-party applications that run inside Telegram. Users can interact with bots by sending messages, commands and inline requests. With powerful bots, Telegram isn't just a normal messenger anymore but starts a new era of messaging.

🤖Why would you need Bots?

Here's an example: several "torch light apps" on Google Playstore or Apple Appstore require you to accept certain permissions, such as access to your Camera, your microphone, your contacts, your phone-ID, your location,...

This is not only the case for torch light apps - games are another example too.
Why do they do this? Because they need to earn something since the app is free to use. They earn money by putting advertising in their apps an/or selling the shared data to other companies.
That's why it's pretty handy to use Bots as often as possible - Telegram Bots only see your Telegram name and your Telegram-ID (NOT your phone number) in order to save game scores etc..
