How to connect WhatsApp to Telegram

WhatsApp and Telegram don't talk to each other on their own. To connect them you need a bridge — and the least painful way is a managed one that links a WhatsApp group and a Telegram group live and in both directions, with no code, no QR and no server to run.

Step by step (about 2 minutes)

  1. Tap Start free (button above) and name your Telegram group — we create it for you on the spot.
  2. In WhatsApp, add our bridge number +61 468 332 437 to the group you want to connect (or a new one).
  3. Paste the short code from the page into that WhatsApp group — within seconds it replies “Connected!” and the two groups are linked.
  4. From then on the two groups are connected: post in one, it appears in the other.
  5. That's the whole connection — text and media flow both ways, live.

Is there a native way to connect WhatsApp and Telegram?

No. Neither app has an official "send to the other app" button — they're separate, walled platforms. Any connection has to go through a bridge that relays messages between them.

How the bridge connection works

Instead of connecting your personal accounts, the bridge links a pair of groups — one on each app. A message posted in the WhatsApp group is relayed into the Telegram group and vice-versa. You just live in whichever group you prefer; everyone else can stay on their app.

Do I need to run a server or scan a QR?

No. Self-hosted bridges (watgbridge, matterbridge) need a 24/7 server and a QR session that expires. A managed bridge runs on our infrastructure and our number — you give a number and it sets up the linked groups.

Does media pass through the connection?

Yes — photos, videos, voice notes and documents cross intact, in both directions. That's the difference from a manual export, which drops media.

What does it cost?

Free plan (100 messages/day for a month, no card). For more, a one-time payment: $20 (500/day) — no subscription.
