Telegram desktop user-defined filtering and efficient management skills

As an operator who often manages communities or conducts marketing on Telegram, you must have encountered this problem: you want to accurately screen out desktop users, but find that the official functions are hidden deeply, or the operation is not intuitive enough. When our team serves e-commerce customers, we often hear feedback like this: "We know that desktop users are more valuable, but we can't find an efficient way to filter them." This is a typical operational search requirement.

Precise screening techniques for Telegram desktop users

According to the DataReportal 2025 report, 38% of Telegram users around the world prefer to use the desktop to handle business communications. To find these high-value users, you can use Telegram’s built-inChat statistics functionto identify the active device type. For specific operations, first enter the target group or channel, click "..." in the upper right corner and select "Statistics". Under the "Device" tab, you can see the distribution ratio of desktop and mobile devices.

We recommend using it withStable IP proxy serviceTo simulate the access environment of users in different regions, this can test the filtering conditions more comprehensively. A client who is engaged in cross-border e-commerce used this method and found that the desktop usage rate of their European and American users was 27% higher than that in Asia.
