How to bring the icon of a separate chat or Telegram channel to the Android desktop

A useful feature for instant access to the desired correspondence or news feed.

If you already have a huge number of channels and chats in Telegram, then folders will definitely help you. With them, you can quickly find the conversations you need. The most important ones can be pinned to the top of the messenger window so that they are always in front of your eyes. And if you need access to some chats literally in one click, then shortcuts will help out here.

Telegram for Android has long allowed you to make a shortcut for each individual channel or chat that will be displayed on the desktop of your smartphone. This will be convenient for communication with those closest to you or, for example, with your superiors.

To make an icon, open the desired chat or channel and click on its title. Next – three dots at the top right → “Create Shortcut” → “Add to Home Screen”.
