This wikiHow teaches you how to find Telegram channels on your iPhone or iPad using the Telegram bot or the Telegram channel directory website. There is no official list or way that Telegram provides to search for channels. All bots and websites that display Telegram channel lists are third-party directories and are not affiliated with Telegram.
