With up to 10 thousand members, Telegram supergroups are granted temporary expulsion

Telegram has increased the capacity of its groups to up to 10, 000 people, 39 times the WhatsApp limit, which only supports 256. With the expansion, the Russian messenger offers more power to administrators, making it easier to manage so many conversations. There is detailed privilege control for other admins, partial membership ban, and access to activity log.

The news refers to supergroups, which, unlike regular groups, have public links. To have access to the functions it is necessary before a Telegram common group is converted into a supergroup.
