How can I create new groups using a bot in Telegram?

As far as I know a bot cannot do this itself, so is it possible to implement a bot as a regular user? How?

Update : This is what I want http://t.me/polyglossia

    Bots cannot be human users :) but they can be admins. – Naser.Sadeghi Mar 20 '17 at 12:00

    @ShahinSorkh Telegram says this is not possible. And I prefer to believe. – Naser.Sadeghi Mar 20 '17 at 16:49
  • @mymedia pretty good idea. Thanks! – ShahinSorkh Mar 20 '17 at 18:12
  • @naser.sadeghi check the link I've added, that's what I'm talking about – ShahinSorkh Mar 20 '17 at 21:15
  • @ShahinSorkh Shahin I checked that link. In this robot the groups are made before and the bot guids you to them when you choose one of the groups. As I saw the groups are fixed and made before by human users and just added to the bot as a link and the bot(s) is(are) one of the admins of those groups. – Naser.Sadeghi Mar 20 '17 at 21:44
  • @Naser.Sadeghi bot is the creator, check the groups' creator buddy – ShahinSorkh Mar 20 '17 at 21:47
  • @ShahinSorkh How do you say that??? I mean what is the sign that the bot is the creator??? – Naser.Sadeghi Mar 20 '17 at 22:44
  • @ShahinSorkh If you say that based on the star sign next to the names in members area, I have to say that star stands for administrator. You'd better make a group and add some people to it yourself, then add a robot to it as an admin then you will see that other users will see that star sign next to your name and the bot's. In the link you mentioned the bot is administrator as well, not the creator – Naser.Sadeghi Mar 20 '17 at 23:14
  • @Naser.Sadeghi ik that :| use unofficial Telegram apps like plus, also the creator has blue star while other admins have gray – ShahinSorkh Mar 21 '17 at 00:26
  • @Naser.Sadeghi leave the groups, check the profile, that's a bot without bot suffix in username and it has a mobile number placeholder and doesn't have an about section – ShahinSorkh Mar 21 '17 at 00:29
  • hello guys, how did you solve the problem? I also need the API to create group chat on telegram, is there any solutions? – Moshiur Jun 22 '22 at 05:14

As I know this is impossible according to the latest telegram bot api and its documentation that can be find here.

Bots cannot create channels, groups and super groups they can only be added to groups or channel as administrator manually by human users.

I myself don't use unofficial telegram apps and I have to say that they don't use the telegram bot API they use the Telegram API (which is used to make your own customized telegram app).

Because you have to implement every telegram feature yourself when developing such an app, It can be possible to make bots able to create groups or channels. If you have the enough programming knowledge to create your own you can do it.
