You need to private message someone from a Telegram channel, Then you can directly from the channel conversation. Telegram Private Reply lets users reply privately to people in channel chats, saving them time and trouble of continually starting new conversations. So how do you send private messages to people on Telegram?
Private reply to a message
In a channel conversation on Telegram, there are several people in one chat conversation. When someone sends a message, all participants see it. But sometimes it is useful to send someone a private message after reading a message so that not everyone is reading along. This can be done directly from the channel conversation. That again saves time.
