Inline Telegram Bots
Inline Telegram bots are those which can be summoned at will to offer a service in the middle of a chat session without having to go through the inconvenience of first leaving the chat.With this feature, you can interact with the bots by simply typing their username and then adding your queries such as a dictionary definition, a YouTube video or even a translation. The inline bot will instantly give the information to you. Consequently, inline bots differ in functionality from regular bots, although some regular bots do have inline capabilities. The Store Bot where you can find other bots is one such bot which functions like a normal bot but can also be used inline. Below is a GIF image we got by searching ‘inline telegram bots’ in @coub. The GIF image gives us a great demonstration on how inline bots work, so we felt we should share it with you. While inline bots are few and far between, there are a number of very useful ones floating about, ready to be of service.That is only if you are actually aware of their existence. To get any of these bots, all you need to do is copy/type the username in your Telegram chat window, and voila! It’s all yours. Did we miss out anything? Inform us in the comment section and we will add it to the list.
