We are going to explain to you how to send hidden spoilers in a hidden Telegram chat so that others do not see them, whether it is a normal chat, a channel or a group conversation. Telegram is one of the main alternatives to WhatsApp, but like any application, things can get complicated when you’re talking about series and movies and you want to hide spoilers.
To this day, Telegram does not have any function to hide text as other apps such as Discord may have, although it makes up for this lack thanks to its bot system. Bots are third-party automatisms that you can use in any conversation, and there is one that serves precisely to avoid spoilers and hide text that is not seen until the other person reveals it.
How to send text spoilers on Telegram
As we have said, to send spoilers you will need to use a bot. There are several you can use, but we will use Spoiler Alert Bot. The first thing you have to do is enter into a conversation with him, something you can do by looking for it in your agenda (the bots appear even if they are not added) or by entering the address telegram.me/spoilerzbot to activate it. When entering the conversation, click on the Start button.
Once the bot is located, it is important to know that its “username” is @spoilerzbot, since now it will have to be used to compose the command with which to create the message with the spoiler. The structure you have to use is @spoilerzbot Spoiler topic: Text that you want to send, or what is the same, first the nickname of the bot to use, second the title that you want to give the spoiler message followed by two double points, and then the message that you want to be hidden.
In our example, the command we are going to use is: @spoilerzbot About the end of Game of Thrones: I did not like
When you type the command, Before sending it, you can determine the level of importance of the spoiler in a menu that will open only when you finish writing your message. As no two spoilers are the same, this will allow the rest of the chat users to know if it is a small, medium or very important one, and thus they can decide whether to risk opening it or not.
And when you complete the process, the message you see in the screenshot will arrive. In it, the spoiler level you have chosen and the text you have written in Spoiler theme, which we have explained to you before, will be notified. Then, chat users who want to see the spoiler will have to click on the Read button, and those who do not want to eat it will be able to continue the conversation as normal.
You can also send spoiler images
Although to send the textual spoiler we have not used the chat with the bot, simply the bot in the conversation, if you want to send a hidden image as a spoiler, you will have to go to the chat. Therefore, open a conversation with the bot looking for it in your agenda (the bots leave even if they are not added) or entering the address telegram.me/spoilerzbot to activate it. When entering the conversation, click on the Start button.
To start the process, you have to start typing the command / image in the chat with the bot. If you see that you cannot write, click on the / button to choose commands and choose image. Next, the bot will ask you to send the photo, and be careful because it is not so simple. Starts clicking on the send file button, and choose a photo.
You have to send the photo from the gallery, and without it being in file mode or one of the last images that are suggested to you. Always go into the gallery option to find it there. By choosing the image from the gallery, you will be able to add a comment below. You have to send the image with a comment, which will be used as the text that others can see before opening the spoiler.
After sending the image with the comment to the bot, it will generate a link that you must share in the conversations where you want to show the photo as a spoiler. But do not worry, because you do not have to copy anything, it is enough with press the Share button that will have been created for you, and the bot will open the share menu to choose which contact to send the link to. Remember that it must always be on Telegram.
When you choose the contact, the code that you have to send will be generated. Do not worry if you do not see any format or word within the code, since it is an internal one of the bot. All you have to do is finish sending the code choosing which is an image spoiler so that it reaches the other person.
The message will arrive in the chat with the format that you see in the screenshot, warning that it is an image, and putting as the subject or topic the description that you added when sending the image to the bot. To see the image, all the other person will have to do is click on the Get the image button. In this case it will not be opened in the chat, but the bot will send you a private message.
