Telegram groups are a great way to exchange information and get notified about recent developments. Unlike WhatsApp, you could simply search and subsequently join any group of your choice. Moreover, Telegram currently allows adding up to 2,00,000 members into the group, which is way more than what its nearest competitor has in store. While being a part of these groups is definitely quite interesting, the same, however, can’t be said of the admins of these groups. If you are the admin of any group and feel burdened with the administrative duties, then probably it’s time to pass on the torch. Fortunately, Telegram provides a very easy way to transfer group ownership to any other member of the group. Let’s have a look at the steps to do so. Also, don’t forget to check out 11 Telegram tips and tricks.
