What it does
Designers Bot is Telegram's official intake for community design submissions. Send it UI layouts, animations, or interface concepts intended to improve the Telegram app, and the team reviews them. The best submissions get published in the @designers channel for the rest of the design community to see.
Why people use it
- Direct line to Telegram for design feedback and proposals.
- Best submissions get featured in the public @designers channel.
- Free, no application process beyond sending a message.
How to use it
- Tap "Open in Telegram" above.
- Send your design as a sticker, animation, image, or video.
- If selected, the Telegram team publishes it to @designers.
What to send
This is the official channel for unsolicited design work aimed at improving Telegram itself. It is not a support bot and not a feature request form.
| Good submissions | Less useful |
|---|---|
| A concrete UI layout for a real screen | A written list of feature ideas |
| An animation or interaction prototype | A logo redesign nobody asked for |
| A fix for something visibly awkward today | A whole reimagining of the app |
What happens to it
Strong contributions get published in the @designers channel, which is the closest thing to a public portfolio credit Telegram offers. There is no payment and no formal review timeline.
Worth knowing
Telegram has a strong existing design language and a small team with firm opinions. Work that fits the platform as it is stands a far better chance than work that redesigns it. Send the file itself rather than a link to a portfolio site.
Behind the app
Operated by Telegram. Part of how Telegram crowdsources design improvements from the community.
