HeyBio

A link in bio for Telegram, from the app feed to your channel

A link in bio for Telegram has one job that link pages for shops and portfolios never have to think about: getting somebody out of one app and into another. The buyer is scrolling Instagram or TikTok, taps your profile link, and lands in an in-app browser. Everything you sell sits on the other side of that handover, and the handover is where people fall out.

HeyBio pushes clicks out of the in-app browser and into the phone's real browser, which is the environment your device is actually set up for and where your visitor's logged in sessions live. The dashboard counts how many clicks were handled that way, so the leak has a number on it.

On top of that you get one page holding several destinations: a free channel, a paid channel, a bot, a backup. Clicks are counted per button, individual buttons can be filtered by country on Pro, and every change is versioned so you can roll back a bad edit in one click.

The handover between apps is the weak point

Think about the actual sequence. Someone watches a clip, taps through to your profile, taps your link, and is now inside a browser that Instagram or TikTok controls. That browser is deliberately minimal. It does not carry the sessions from the browser they normally use, and it is not the environment the phone was set up to hand links off from.

HeyBio pushes the click out to the device's real browser first. From there, the link is handled the way the phone normally handles it, rather than from inside a cut down webview that may or may not cooperate.

This runs on every plan, including Start at 9 euro a month, and there is nothing to configure. The number of rescued clicks appears in your dashboard, which is more useful than the claim itself. You can see what share of your traffic was arriving through in-app browsers instead of guessing at it.

One page, several Telegram destinations

Most sellers do not have one link. There is the free channel that does the warming up, the paid channel that does the earning, sometimes a bot, sometimes a group, and sensibly a backup channel in case a main one disappears overnight.

Putting them on one page means the address in your bio never has to change again. When a channel moves, you edit the button instead of editing every bio, video description and pinned message you have.

Ordering matters more than people think, because most visitors decide in the first two buttons. Analytics on Pro report clicks per button, so the order stops being an argument and becomes a measurement.

The AI editor can reword a button, change colours, reorder buttons and hide a photo. It cannot change where a link points. Someone helping you run the page cannot swap your channel for theirs, by accident or otherwise.

Region-specific channels and quiet links

Per-link geo filtering on Pro works in both directions, and Telegram sellers tend to want both.

Showing only in chosen countries is useful when a channel is language specific, or priced for one region, or when a promotion only applies somewhere particular. Everyone else sees a page without that button rather than a channel they will join and then leave.

Hiding in chosen countries is the other use, and usually the more personal one. The paid channel can be invisible in your own country while working normally everywhere else.

The filter fails closed. If a visitor's country cannot be determined, a geo-restricted link is not shown at all. That is the right default when the cost of the wrong person seeing a link is much higher than the cost of one uncertain visitor missing it. It is a filter and not a security boundary, and anyone on a VPN can look from wherever they choose.

Why shorteners and crypto domains are refused

People selling through Telegram get impersonated more than almost anyone. Cloned channels, copied pages, and account takeovers where the destination of one button quietly changes are all routine.

So outgoing links are checked before they go live. They must be https. Crypto domains are refused, because a wallet address or an exchange page appearing on a hijacked creator page is the standard shape of that scam. Link shorteners are refused, because a shortener hides where the click really goes, which is precisely why someone redirecting your buyers would use one. The brand also has to match the destination, so a button cannot say one thing and point at another.

Be aware this is a genuine constraint, not just a safety feature. If your current workflow runs every link through a tracking shortener, that will not pass. Your t.me links go in directly, and clicks are counted per button anyway.

Built to be pasted into group chats

Telegram traffic spreads by being passed on. Your link ends up in direct messages, in groups, in other people's channels and occasionally in a screenshot. Every one of those is a place where a preview gets generated and where a person decides in one second whether to tap.

The share card is neutral and carries no photo. That keeps the preview from being an image of you in a group chat you have never seen, and it removes an obvious signal for whatever automated classification sits on the other end. We are not going to tell you it stops a platform making its own judgement, because that decision is theirs and it changes without notice.

The page carries no forced branding either. There is an optional 'Powered by HeyBio' footer line you can switch off, so what gets passed around reads as yours rather than as a page on somebody's free tool.

Questions

Does HeyBio open the Telegram app directly?

It pushes the click out of the in-app browser into the device's real browser. From there your t.me link is handled the way the phone normally handles it. What we can promise is the part we control: your visitor is not left stuck inside a cut down webview that was never designed for handing off to another app.

Can I run a free channel and a paid channel from the same page?

Yes, as separate buttons in whatever order you choose, along with a bot, a group or a backup channel. Clicks are counted per button on Pro, so you can see which destination people actually take rather than assuming, and reorder the page on the basis of the numbers.

Can I hide a channel from certain countries?

Yes, on Pro. Geo filtering applies per link, so you can hide one button in the countries you choose or show it only there while the rest of the page behaves normally. Visitors whose country the filter cannot work out are not shown the restricted button at all. A VPN gets around it, so treat it as a filter.

Can I use my own tracking shortener on a button?

No. Shorteners are refused because they hide the real destination, which is the mechanism behind most hijacked link pages. Point buttons straight at your t.me links instead. Clicks are counted per button in the dashboard on Pro, which is what most people were using a shortener for anyway.

What does it cost?

Start is 9 euro a month or 90 euro a year and includes the page and the in-app browser escape. Pro is 29 euro a month or 290 euro a year and adds analytics, per-link geo filtering and a custom domain. Agency is 99 euro a month for up to ten models, plus 7.50 euro a month per extra model.

Put every channel on one page, watch which button people actually take, and stop rewriting your bio each time a channel moves.
