Now I'll just switch back to my LinkedIn learning account. And there's the chat from the other side. I go down to my little account icon here, click it, and then switch over to the Kinetico account by clicking on it's icon at the top. And if we go over to that account, we'll actually see that it came through. I send it by pressing return and there it is. I click on it, and now I'll send a message. Anyway, to find it, I go up to search, click, and then type in kinetico.

So you'll see when messages get sent from one to the other. I have the two accounts in the same Telegram app. This is an account that I made for this course and actually I have it in my Telegram app as well as the LinkedIn learning account. To do that, I'll first go back to our chats by going down to the little chat icon and clicking on it, then I'll go up to the search bar in the upper left-hand corner. You can find a user by searching for the username they chose. Users also have the option of choosing a unique username and can fill out a brief text profile along with pictures if they like. Each account requires a unique phone number which somewhat limits spam account creation. This opens up our preferences but then if you go to the upper left-hand corner you can see the profile itself. There are a few ways of doing this, but the easiest is to click on the icon in the bottom left-hand column where you see LL down there.

I'm using telegram for Mac but it's similar on other platforms. Let's start with how telegram works for ordinary non bot communications. The best way to explain what a telegram bot is, is to show you.
