How to listen to music on Telegram

Preliminary information

Before getting to the heart of this tutorial and explaining, in detail, how to listen to music on Telegram, you may find it useful to learn more about this feature and, above all, what content can be played on the famous messaging application.

On Telegram it is possible to listen to both audio files previously loaded in the app and songs available on the main audio and video sharing platforms, such as YouTube (including YouTube Music), SoundCloud, Vimeo e Dailymotion. All through the integrated Telegram player, which allows you to listen to a song or watch a video without leaving the app.

This option is available both in chats with other users and in Saved messages, a “special” personal chat in which it is possible to store text messages and files, with the possibility of accessing them from any other device on which Telegram is available.

This means that you can use Telegram's "Saved Messages" as a real music archive, in which you can both load songs in MP3 format and save the links of your favorite songs, as long as they are available on one of the services indicated in previously (YouTube, YouTube Music, SoundCloud etc.). Having clarified this, let's see how to proceed.

How to hear music on Telegram

As mentioned in the opening lines of this guide, for hear music on Telegram it is useful to use the "chat" Saved messages in which it is possible to add the songs of your interest, both in MP3 format, by loading them from your device, and through the relative URL (if the songs to be listened to are available online).

In the first case, take your smartphone, start Telegram and access the section Saved messages. To do this on one device Android, tap the ☰ button, at the top left, and select the item Saved messages from the menu that opens. Once this is done, click on the icon clip, visible near the field Message, select the option Music and choose the song to load.

If, on the other hand, you have a iPhone / iPad you should know that it is not possible to upload a song available in the Music app but it is possible to use the songs present in iCloud Drive, in the app Fillet. In this case, start Telegram, press on the item Settings located in the menu below and tap on the option Saved messages, then press the icon of clip, select the opzioni Fillet e iCloud Drive and choose the song you want to upload and listen to on Telegram.

It will be useful to know that by uploading a song to "Saved messages", it will be available on all your devices on which you use Telegram (with the same account). Furthermore, this option allows you to play previously loaded songs even in offline mode, when an Internet connection is not available.

If you prefer to listen to music on Telegram by "importing" the links of the songs you are interested in in "Saved messages", all you have to do is access one of the services compatible with Telegram, search for the song to listen to and copy the URL. To understand better, let's take a practical example using YouTube as a reference.

Please note that on Android devices, it is possible to add a direct link to Telegram “Saved Messages” on the home screen of your smartphone / tablet. To do this, access the chat in question, press the icon of three dotsat the top right, and select the option Add to home.
