I have a share button in my website and I want to send a specific message to Telegram APP contacts (when I open website in Mobile)

The Problem is I didnt find the complete code and it just open the APP in the mobile

my code is :

<a href="tg://" id="telegram_share" class="mobileShare" title="inviteFriends" alt="telegram_share"></a>

as you see I didnt find proper command for sending message in href property

for example I found something simillar for adding sticker like :

<a class="tgme_action_button" href="tg://addstickers?set=Saber2">Add Stickers</a>

iT's called URI Scheme Hope this one save someone else's time :)

<a href="tg://msg?text=your MsG!" id="telegram_share" class="mobileShare" title="inviteFriends" alt="telegram_share"></a>

right Now it only works on IOS

USE THE API

Once you've set up a username, you can give people a t.me/username link. Opening that link on their phone will automatically fire up their Telegram app and open a chat with you. You can share username links with friends, write them on business cards or put them up on your website.

This way people can contact you on Telegram without knowing your phone number.

That is currently the best way to link to someone's Telegram, and is stated officially in here: https://telegram.org/faq/en#q-how-does-t-me-work

This method redirects to:

tg://resolve?domain=username

If you want to send a message, there's no official information about it, so you would need to do it using URI scheme as mentioned in the question, using this structure (which doesn't seem to allow specifying to whom the message will be sent):

tg://msg?text=yourMsG

It seems we can't mix both.
