To check Telegram analytics for a scheduled post, look at the view count under the post, then open the channel’s info page and tap Statistics for views per post, shares, reactions, followers and notifications. Statistics appears once a channel passes Telegram’s subscriber minimum. Scheduling tools cannot read these figures, so Telegram is the place to check.
Key takeaways
- Every channel post shows its view count under it, visible to anyone who can see the channel.
- Admins get a Statistics panel once the channel passes Telegram’s subscriber minimum: followers, notifications, views, shares and reactions per post.
- View rate, views per post divided by subscribers, is the closest thing Telegram has to an engagement rate; compare it with your own channel over time.
- Telegram’s Bot API shares no per-post figures, so scheduling tools, SkedCast included, cannot show Telegram analytics.

Where do you find Telegram analytics?
Two places. The view count under each channel post shows how many times it has been seen, and it keeps rising as subscribers open the channel. For more, open the channel, tap its name to open the info page, and choose Statistics. Only admins see it, and only once the channel has passed the subscriber minimum Telegram sets.
Groups work the same way: a large group gets Statistics too, while private chats have none.
Which Telegram metrics matter most?
Start with views per post and enabled notifications: together they show how much of your audience a post reaches. Shares matter next, because a forward puts the post in front of people who do not follow you yet.
| Metric | What it measures | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Views per post | Average views a recent post collects | The main measure of reach on Telegram |
| Followers and growth | Subscribers now, and joins minus leaves over time | Whether the channel is growing or shrinking |
| Enabled notifications | Share of subscribers with notifications on | How many people see a post as it is sent |
| Shares per post | Average forwards of a post to other chats | Content people pass on, which brings new subscribers |
| Reactions per post | Average emoji reactions, where reactions are on | A quick read of how a post landed |
| View and follower sources | Where views and new subscribers came from | Which links, shares or searches bring people in |
How do you judge a Telegram post with view rate?
Divide a post’s views by the channel’s subscriber count: 2,400 views on a 10,000-subscriber channel is a 24% view rate. Telegram does not show this number, but it is the fairest way to compare posts and weeks, because it adjusts for growth. There is no published benchmark with a stated method, so compare a post with your own recent average rather than with other channels.
Read view rate alongside notifications. A falling share of subscribers with notifications on usually means posts are too frequent or arrive at the wrong hours; the Telegram best time to post page covers how to pick a rhythm.
How do you check a scheduled post’s performance?
SkedCast publishes the post at the time you set, from the same content calendar as your other networks; see how to schedule Telegram messages for the setup.
Wait for it to settle
Most views arrive in the first day; check after 24 hours for a fair comparison.
Read the view count
Note the number under the post and work out its view rate.
Open Statistics
Compare the post with recent posts in the Recent posts list, with its shares and reactions.
Adjust the schedule
Move future posts toward the days, hours and formats that did best.
What does Telegram analytics not show?
There is no impressions or reach figure separate from views, no click count for links in a post, and audience detail stops at languages and traffic sources. Track link clicks with UTM-tagged links in your web analytics instead. Telegram’s Bot API, which scheduling tools use, returns none of the statistics, so SkedCast’s analytics covers your other networks and Telegram figures stay in Telegram.

- Open the channel, tap its name, and choose Statistics. Only admins see it, once the channel passes Telegram’s subscriber minimum.
- Why don’t I see a Statistics option on my Telegram channel?

- What is a good view rate on Telegram?
- There is no published benchmark with a stated method. Compare each post’s views divided by subscribers with your channel’s own recent average.
- Does SkedCast show Telegram post analytics?
