That's the way the thing happened in tg

Ngl, no clue if the database got leaked before all this. But after people started using that Mini App? Yeah... lowkey wouldn't be surprised if stuff got leaked,

The reason you're giving could happen, but the chances are kinda low from a technical POV. Octo explanation lowkey makes way more sense to me.

A Telegram Mini App already gets stuff like your Telegram ID, username, profile pic, and display name. As for your phone number? Nah, Telegram ain't just handing that over for free. It'll literally pop up a "Share your phone number with this bot?" prompt, and only if you tap Allow does the Mini App get your number. That's the part a lot of people miss, fr.

Most of the time it's tg's own faulty mechanism because of which the user's number gets leaked or should I say indexed.

Especially considering that according to this guy its for 18+ content, people arent really thinking clearly when hrony

wouldnt that be a privacy issue?

Yep, got it now. Makes sense how it all works, fr. Thanks for explaining! 👍

I did encounter a webapp bot which did get my phone number without prompting..

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 15:46

Phone number can be requested from user through buttons, and telegram passes through user id and similar stuff to webapp through JS API.

I can let you know in September xD

It's not going to be 8000 users, but that's the maximum possible if everyone has the occasion to use the bot (which they won't). and even then, it's only storing data for the staff and locations.

It's open source but it's elixir and a docker image is not provided, also it's not updated in years

I think imagefetcherbot uses googles api

>>> telegram.Bot()

07 July 2026 20:43

Does anyone know a bot to send google search images from inline query using your own api key without safe search?

Feel free to believe whatever explanation comforts you.

07 July 2026 01:08

That's literally how I manipulate AI models whenever they refuse 'cause the request goes against their policy. 😂

And nah, don't file/report me or anything—I'm not actually building it, fr.

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 20:05

That's just the tip of the iceberg

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 20:02

I mean thats true, but people usually arent reading whatever popup they see. They just click yes through everything.

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 19:56

webapp cant know your phone number as far as i can see, only your ID and other public data

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 19:55

when you click on button telegram explicitly asks if you are sure you want bot to know your phone number

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 19:07

So now you are making your own one 😁

>>> telegram.Bot()

06 July 2026 17:09

hmm, i dont see relevant api for that though...

Can someone explain how these mini apps actually work? 🤔

I've seen a lot of them bait people with 18+ content and random links. When you tap one, it opens a Telegram Mini App, and then it asks you to log in to your Telegram account by entering an OTP, pretending it's just an "I'm not a robot" verification.

Like... how are they even able to access our phone numbers or Telegram login in the first place? That's the part I don't get.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could break down how this method works so people can stay aware and avoid getting their Telegram accounts hacked. Stay safe, y'all. 🙏

I was just wondering if anyone knows how much resources is needed for such usage.

>>> telegram.Bot()

05 July 2026 16:14

How much server resources are needed to handle 8,000 users in a day?
