Telegram can join and create closed communities with the new Admin Approval setting for invite links

Also in this update, users can join and create closed communities with the new Admin Approval setting for invite links.

When opening these links, potential members can send a Join Request, which must be approved by an admin before that user can access the group or channel.

Bot developers now have the tools to create bots that can share invite links and approve potential members – or even give them special tasks before they are allowed to join.
