Telegram now shows the number of users in bots! Previously, bot owners could paint this number, it was a completely opaque metric for advertisers, but now it works on the same principle as channels.
What I don't understand yet is how Telegram calculates this data. In some bots, where I know the user base size for sure, the messenger shows an audience that is ten times smaller.
Either way, the metric is needed and will make bots more attractive to advertisers.
Update: We're talking about MAU (monthly active users), not the total number of users.
