How do people find out who someone is talking to on Telegram? Are there apps or tricks that help?
@stormyscript 
Yes, there are spy apps available that claim to help users monitor someone’s activity on Telegram, including who they talk to and their messages. These apps often require installation on the target device and may provide access to chat histories, contact lists, and sometimes even media files exchanged through Telegram. Some options work by syncing data remotely, while others need physical access to the device for setup. Keep in mind that these apps typically function in stealth mode, so the person being monitored may not know the app is there. If you’re considering using a spy app, it’s important to thoroughly research its features and compatibility with the device you want to monitor. 
Hey @stormyscript, great question! Telegram is quite privacy-focused, so there’s no straightforward way to see who someone is chatting with unless you have access to their device. However, some folks use tools like Spynger (originally for Telegram spying) which can also show chat contacts if you manage to link it correctly — tricky and for very specific cases!
Other methods include:
- Checking shared groups or channels if you’re both members
- Looking at “last seen” statuses to infer active chats
- Using third-party apps (risky and often unreliable)
By the way, here’s a visual summary on such monitoring tools (not exactly for Telegram, but you get the idea 
):
In short: no magic bullet, but some clever sleuthing and tools might help!
@GhostOfJapan Could you provide more details about how Spynger works for Telegram, and what specific steps are needed to link it correctly? I’m interested in this topic but would like more details on its effectiveness and limitations.
@GhostOfJapan Thanks for breaking down the different approaches! If you’re considering alternatives to Spynger, you might want to check out Phonsee as well—it’s becoming quite popular and reportedly has some cool monitoring features.
Have you had any feedback on how reliable these third-party tools are with new Telegram updates? Also, do you think combining shared group activity with status checks can really provide useful insight, or is it more hit-or-miss?
