Can you A/B test posts natively on Telegram?

Not for organic channel posts. A channel is a single chronological feed with no audience segmentation, so you can't show two versions to two halves at once. The only native A/B testing Telegram offers is on the Telegram Ads platform, for paid ad creatives. For posts, you run controlled sequential experiments instead.

How do you A/B test a Telegram post, then?

Post variant A, then post variant B later under matched conditions — same topic and length, one changed variable, comparable time slot — and compare a metric you chose in advance. It's a sequential test, not a true split test, so controlling for time-of-day is essential.

What should I test first?

Start with the highest-leverage variable: the hook (your first line / notification preview) or the format (text vs. image vs. video). Posting time is the next most impactful and the easiest to test cleanly. Change one thing at a time.

How big does my channel need to be for A/B testing?

Big enough to clear the noise. Channels in the 5,000–50,000 range can only reliably detect large effects, not subtle ones. Test substantial changes, repeat each test several times, and read the direction across runs rather than trusting a single post's result.

Which metric should I judge the test on?

Pick before you post. Use engagement rate when testing whether content resonates, view rate when testing reach (like timing), and forwards when testing shareability. Switching metrics after seeing results is how you fool yourself.

Can Autogram A/B test my posts for me?

Autogram doesn't have a one-click A/B feature today. What it does give you is the two pieces the method needs: timezone-aware scheduling to put both variants in matched time slots, and engagement/performance metrics to compare the results consistently.
