Telegram has become quite a useful place to keep up with Singapore life. Beyond private chats, there are groups for conversations and communities, and channels for receiving curated updates.

The difference is fairly simple: in a group, members can usually participate in the conversation. In a channel, the focus is usually on receiving updates from the channel administrator.

That makes channels particularly handy for things like flash deals, food promotions, travel offers, job openings and local news. You can follow the topics you care about without having to scroll through a busy group chat.

There are now plenty of Singapore Telegram channels covering different corners of everyday life. Here are 25 worth knowing, including our favourite channels from the Lobangsiah Telegram network as well as other established Singapore publishers, communities and official sources.

The nice thing about Telegram is that you can pick and choose.

You don’t have to join one giant community and sift through everything.

Follow the channels that match your interests, mute the ones you don’t need notifications from, and let the useful stuff come to you.

And that’s really what makes a good Telegram channel useful: not more information, but the right information showing up when you need it.

If you’re printing name cards, flyers, stickers, post cards or other materials, follow Print Deals for useful printing tips, promotions and printing-related finds.
