How to Remove Spam from a Telegram Group: Complete 2026 Guide
Spam in Telegram groups can destroy an active community in just a few hours. Unwanted ads, mass spam bots and fraudulent messages reach even well-managed groups. With the right tools — the native Telegram filter, a moderation bot and automatic rules — you can eliminate 99% of spam without constant supervision.
Step 1: Enable the Telegram built-in spam filter
The native Telegram anti-spam filter is available in groups with more than 200 members. Go to Settings → Administrators and enable it. It automatically blocks new and suspicious accounts.
Step 2: Add Telemod bot as administrator
Add @telemodxyzbot to your group and grant administrator rights: delete messages and ban users. Takes under one minute.
Step 3: Configure automatic anti-spam rules
In the Telemod panel, enable the message-per-minute limit (flood protection), auto link filter, and set the action when the limit is exceeded: mute for N minutes or ban.
Step 4: Enable captcha for new members
Telemod offers three captcha types: button, math challenge or text answer. Bots fail the captcha and are removed automatically.
Step 5: Create a banned words list
In the Telemod panel, add words or phrases to the banned words list. The filter recognizes whole words with Unicode support — it will not confuse a banned word with a similar harmless one.
With these 5 steps you will eliminate 99% of spam from your Telegram group. The Telemod bot works 24/7 without interruption. Try it free — set up moderation in under 2 minutes.
