Channel Direct Messages
A private inbox of a Telegram channel (since June 2025), switched on in Channel Settings → Direct Messages. Subscribers write to the channel without seeing the admins' personal accounts, and the channel can charge Stars per message, keeping 85%. Direct messages are also where Suggested Posts are offered, so a channel without them cannot receive paid post offers this way.
