A forward restriction is a Telegram channel setting that prevents subscribers from forwarding posts to other chats or saving them to Saved Messages. When enabled, the "Forward" button is replaced by a "Posted by @channelname" label, and the message cannot be re-shared outside the channel. Channel administrators use forward restrictions to protect exclusive content, control distribution of sponsored posts, or comply with licensing requirements for third-party material.
