Before the arrival of Telegram and its bots, as a general rule this word had always been like this every automatic processes aimed mainly at activities related to bad practices, although not always, of course. But the arrival of the bots has turned the messaging platform into a multifunctional application with which we can perform tasks of all kinds, tasks that perfectly complement other applications available in the different application stores, be it the Apple Store or Google Play. In this article we are going to show you the best bots available for Telegram.
By not having to pass any filter of the application stores, it is very easy to find bots that at no time could we see in an ecosystem, such as iOS, where we do not find any official application that allow us to download only the audio from YouTube videos, a task that we can do quickly through the Telegram bots.
Natively, Telegram offers us several bots installed natively in all the chats among which we find the search for videos on YouTube, search for GIFs in Ghipy and the Markdown text format to be able to use bold or italic in conversations. To access them we just have to write @ and these three appear, so that we can select the one we are looking for at that moment or we can use it in the following way: "@vid name of the video", "@gif name of gif" and "@Bold text a we want to display in bold or italic".
Types of bots for Telegram
Within the bots we can find two categories. The so-called Inline are the ones that we can find integrated into the application and we can make use of them by typing @ followed and without separating the name of the bot: @gif trump will return gifs of the current president of the United States. Most inline bots are installed natively in the application, so we don't have to do anything to install them.
Then we find the independent bots that work as if it were a chat channel. This type of bots we have to look for them through the Telegram search engine and join it, to later configure it according to our preferences and go to it whenever we need it. This type of bot offers us personalized information or perform various tasks that cannot be done directly with a bot embedded in a conversation.
What is a bot?
The bots have an automated operation so it is not surprising that the word bot comes from Robot. A bot is a small programmed application that imitates human behavior, so that we interact with it and that offers us different results according to our needs, in this way we can find bots that allow us to perform any task, however strange it may seem. If you can't find an app that does a certain function, there is very likely a bot for her.
How to install a bot on Telegram

Next we have to enter the name of the bot in the search box, for example @gamee so that the Telegram game channel opens a new chat window where we can select from a large number of games. Either of the two ways is valid and allows us to access the Telegram bots.
