Captcha FAQ

Who is verified?#

New members or join-request applicants, depending on the selected mode. Test those flows separately.

What happens after a wrong answer?#

A member can continue while attempts and time remain. With one attempt, the first wrong answer ends the challenge. In group mode, the selected failure action applies. Join requests are rejected; if Ban is selected, the bot also attempts to block the account. See failure actions.

Can I select several challenge types?#

Choose Random and select the permitted types. At least one must remain selected.

Can I exempt trusted members?#

The current Mini App does not have a CAPTCHA exemption editor. Other allowlists do not replace it. See exemptions.

Why was an administrator not restricted?#

Telegram protects administrator permissions. Use an ordinary test member rather than the group owner when testing restrictions.

Where should I look when something fails?#

Check the selected group, mode, bot permissions, time and attempts, then see troubleshooting.
