Telegram gender recognition update log: API changes and precision marketing strategies

As an operator who works with Telegram data every day, our team has recently noticed an interesting phenomenon: many customers are asking in the background how to obtain user gender information through the API. Do you encounter this kind of trouble? For example, when formulating a precision marketing strategy, it was discovered that the gender field on Telegram's official profile page suddenly could not be read, or the historical data was incompatible with the new interface. According to Hootsuite's 2024 social platform report, the completeness of user portraits directly affects the difference in message open rates by 37%. This is a typical operational search requirement.

Detailed explanation of Telegram gender recognition interface changes

When handling a case involving a beauty brand last week, we discovered that the gender parameter returned by the new version of the API had changed from an explicit annotation to an encrypted hash value. DataReportal 2025 data shows that 85% of marketing automation tools have not yet adapted to this change. To get the latest data, you now need to do it in two steps: first inTelegram developer backendApplyusers.getFullUserpermissions and then passuser.full_user.profile_genderField decryption. It is recommended to cooperate with [Stable IP Proxy Service] to maintain request stability and avoid frequent calls triggering risk control.

New and old gender data migration plan

One of our fitness community clients once went crazy over this—the user tag system they had accumulated for 3 years suddenly failed. In fact, Telegram provides an official migration tool: useBot APIingetUserProfilePhotosThis method achieves a matching accuracy of more than 90% by analyzing avatar features. For more complex needs, such as combined with speech frequency analysis, you can contact @LIKETGLi to obtain [customized exclusive solutions].

Gender-based message grouping strategy

The Hootsuite 2024 survey pointed out that the conversion rate of personalized messages is 2.8 times higher than that of ordinary mass messages. Now our team will do this: first usechat.getMembersFilter active users before usingmessages.searchThe function retrieves historical messages containing gender keywords (such as "Mr./Ms."). There are two points to pay attention to during practical operation: first, create smart folder classification storage in the Telegram desktop version; second, refer to [Natural Fan Growth Strategy] to optimize the sending period. One home furnishing brand reduced the return rate by 19% through this method.
