Group chat specifics
These work the same for WhatsApp and Telegram:
- The opened group profile shows only the group name — participants’ phone numbers are not available.
- Contacts from a group are not saved automatically.
- Messages cannot be quoted.
- A participant’s first and last name are taken from their messenger profile. If the details are hidden, only the number is shown.
- You cannot remove participants from a group — this is only done in the messenger app on the phone.
For Telegram only:
- A participant’s username is not shown in RadistWeb.
- Groups of up to 1000 participants are supported.
- If a group becomes a supergroup, a new deal is created.
- Forums and subgroups (topics) are not supported.
