Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about forwarding Telegram messages automatically and anonymously — including protected channels, private groups, filters, plans and setup.
Getting started
How do I automatically forward Telegram messages from one channel to another?
Sign up for Phantom Forwarder, connect your Telegram account with your phone number and login code, then create a forwarding rule by choosing a source chat and one or more destinations. Forwarding starts immediately and runs 24/7 in the cloud — your computer does not need to stay on.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Phantom Forwarder is 100% web-based. There is nothing to download or install — you manage everything from your browser and the service runs on our servers around the clock.
How long does setup take?
About two minutes: connect Telegram, pick a source and a destination, and save the rule. You can refine filters and transformations at any time afterwards.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account gets a 7-day free trial with full premium features unlocked, so you can test forwarding, filters, anonymity and AI features before paying.
Anonymity & Ghost Mode
How can I forward Telegram messages anonymously, without showing my account?
Use Ghost Mode. When it is enabled, your account never appears as the sender in the destination chat and your identity stays hidden from recipients. The messages arrive without any trace pointing back to you.
What is Ghost Mode?
Ghost Mode is the feature that makes forwarding invisible. Recipients in the destination chat cannot tell that the messages come from your account — your name and online presence are never exposed.
Will the original channel know I am forwarding their messages?
No. Reading and forwarding happen on the service side. The source channel sees no special activity from you beyond your normal membership.
Protected & private channels
Can I forward from a Telegram channel with restricted content (saving and forwarding disabled)?
Yes. Phantom Forwarder works on protected channels and groups where Telegram has disabled saving and forwarding. As long as your account can read the chat, the content can be forwarded to your destinations.
Can I forward from private groups?
Yes, as long as your account is a member of the group. You can forward from any chat you personally have access to, including private groups and supergroups.
Does it support Telegram Forum Topics?
Yes. You can forward from a specific Topic inside a Telegram group that has Topics enabled, and route it to the destination you choose.
Filters & transformations
Can I filter which messages get forwarded?
Yes. You can include or exclude messages by keyword, regular expression, message length, media type, and specific senders. Only messages that match your rule are forwarded.
Can I edit or rewrite messages while forwarding?
Yes. You can find-and-replace text, add a custom header or footer, change formatting, and manage external links. Optional AI features can translate, summarize, or filter messages by natural-language criteria.
If a message is edited or deleted in the source, does the forwarded copy update?
Yes. With edit and delete sync enabled, changes in the source propagate to the forwarded copies so your destinations stay accurate.
Can I import past messages, not just new ones?
Yes. The chat history import lets you copy older messages from a chat, with date-range selection and the same filters and transformations as live forwarding.
Plans, billing & safety
How much does it cost?
Plans are billed in USD: Lite $4/month, Smart $8/month, Gold $11/month and Platinum $14/month, with discounts on quarterly and yearly billing. Higher plans raise the number of rules and destinations and unlock advanced features. A 7-day free trial is included.
Is my Telegram account safe?
Yes. Phantom Forwarder uses official Telegram APIs and stores your session encrypted — credentials are never kept in plain text. The service is GDPR compliant; the data controller is Inakis srl, based in Milan, Italy.
What happens if I cancel?
Your forwarding rules stop immediately. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you want to reactivate, after which it is removed.
Is Phantom Forwarder a good AutoForward alternative?
Yes. It covers the same automatic forwarding use case but runs entirely in the cloud with nothing to install, adds Ghost Mode anonymity, works on protected channels, and includes advanced filters, transformations and AI features.
