Telegram Username Checker

Quick answer

Type a name to see instantly whether it follows Telegram's username rules and whether a public user, bot, channel or group already uses it — including names sold on Fragment.

Before you create a new bot in BotFather or open a channel, make sure the name is free. The checker validates the format as you type, then looks up the public t.me page and Fragment's username marketplace and suggests alternatives if the name is taken.

How the check works

Telegram usernames must be 5 to 32 characters long and may contain only Latin letters, digits and underscores. They cannot start with a digit or underscore and cannot end with an underscore. Bot usernames must also end with “bot”, for example adsun_bot.

The checker opens the public t.me page for the name. If a public user, bot, channel or group uses it, Telegram shows its title — the name is taken. It also reads Fragment, where short and premium usernames are auctioned or sold.

A name that looks free can still be held by a private account, a deleted account in cooldown, or be reserved by Telegram. The final answer always comes from Telegram when you try to set it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a Telegram username is taken?

Enter it in the checker. If t.me shows a public user, bot, channel or group with that name, it is taken. If nothing public uses it and it is not listed on Fragment, it is probably available.

What are the rules for Telegram usernames?

5 to 32 characters, only a–z, 0–9 and underscores, starting with a letter and not ending with an underscore. Bot usernames must end with “bot”.

Why does a free-looking name say it is already taken in Telegram?

Private accounts, recently deleted accounts and names reserved by Telegram do not appear on public pages. Telegram's own check when you save the name is final.

What does “on Fragment” mean?

Fragment is Telegram's official marketplace for collectible usernames. Names listed there are bought with Toncoin instead of being claimed for free.

Can I check bot names before creating the bot?

Yes. Type the name you plan to give BotFather; the checker also warns you if it does not end with “bot”.
