In a surprising change, OnlyFans recently disabled its Telegram bot, a popular tool that allowed creators to receive real-time updates on their activity. With no official explanation from OnlyFans, creators are left to navigate new ways to stay updated on messages, subscriptions, and interactions with their fans. Here’s everything you need to know about this change and how to set up alternative notification methods, such as push and email alerts.
What Happened That There Is No More Telegram Bot Available?
Imagine this: you’re busy, maybe juggling a hundred things, and then – ping! A Telegram notification pops up to let you know there’s a new message from a fan. It’s like a personal assistant whispering in your ear, “Hey, you’ve got mail,” but the OnlyFans kind. You still had to log into OnlyFans to reply, but at least you knew when something new hit your inbox.
Now, suddenly, it’s gone. Poof! No more Telegram alerts, leaving creators (myself included) feeling a bit abandoned, like waiting for a text that’ll never come. Whether OnlyFans or Telegram decided to pull the plug, nobody really knows.
And, honestly, I think it was OnlyFans who made the call. My theory? Maybe they thought the bot wasn’t being used by enough of us to justify keeping it around, or they figured we’d be fine with regular notifications. Or maybe – just maybe – they’re working on an upgrade, some high-tech notification bot 2.0 with bells and whistles. Who knows? All we can do now is wait, hope, and refresh our email.
Why There Is No Comment from OnlyFans on Shutting Down the Telegram Bot?
In true OnlyFans fashion, there’s been total radio silence on why the Telegram bot suddenly vanished. No “Dear Creators, we regret to inform you,” no “We’re working on something exciting” – just poof, and it’s gone. It’s left us all scratching our heads, wondering if we missed some memo or if we’re just supposed to quietly adjust to life without our trusty little alert buddy.
While OnlyFans hasn’t released any official news, we creators have one option left: using other existing notification methods. Yup, we’re talking about good ol’ push and email notifications. Below, I’ll break down the steps to activate these options, so you can keep up with your messages without feeling entirely in the dark.
Will OnlyFans Restore This Feature Someday?
Here’s where things get a little murky. With no official word from OnlyFans, we’re all left wondering what happened – and more importantly, what’s next.
Are they cooking up a replacement?
Will they bring back our trusty Telegram bot, or are they working on something better?
Well, since they haven’t clued us in, I’ll just throw out my personal theory for what could be going on behind the scenes.
My guess (or maybe just my wishful thinking) is that OnlyFans is secretly working on an official OnlyFans app, where we’ll finally get push notifications directly from the platform itself. Imagine it: an app where we don’t have to rely on third-party hacks like Telegram bots. Everything streamlined, notifications right on our screens, and no more bouncing between apps just to see if we’ve got a message. Wouldn’t that be the dream? Honestly, I believe most creators would be thrilled to have a real OnlyFans app instead of relying on a Telegram workaround.
How to Activate Push Notifications on Your Device
With the Telegram bot gone, push notifications are the next best thing for staying in the loop. OnlyFans doesn’t have an official app, so you’ll need to set up notifications on your desktop or mobile browser. Here’s a quick guide to get you up and running:
For Desktop:
- Log into your OnlyFans account.
- Go to Settings > Notifications > Push Notifications.
- Click Activate and make sure to confirm when prompted, allowing OnlyFans to send notifications to your Notification Center.
For Mobile: Setting up push notifications on mobile is a bit different, but it’s still pretty simple. First, you’ll need to add OnlyFans to your Home Screen:
For iOS:
- Open OnlyFans in your browser.
- Tap the Share button, then select Add to Home Screen and tap Add.
- Open the OnlyFans “app” from your Home Screen and log in to your account.
- Go to Settings > Notifications > Push Notifications, activate them, and confirm to allow OnlyFans notifications in your Notification Center.
For Android:
The process is similar:
- Open OnlyFans in your browser.
- Tap on the three-dot menu, select Add to Home Screen, and then confirm.
- Open the OnlyFans shortcut, log in, go to Settings > Notifications > Push Notifications, activate them, and allow notifications.
Once you set up notifications, you will receive them directly on your device, allowing you to stay updated on your messages and interactions without constantly checking OnlyFans.
How to Activate and Edit Email Notifications
Email notifications are another option for staying updated on your OnlyFans activity. While not as instantaneous as push notifications, email alerts allow you to keep track of messages, interactions, and updates in your inbox. Here’s how to set them up:
- Access OnlyFans on Your Browser: Go to your OnlyFans account on a desktop or mobile browser.
- Open Notification Settings: Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner, select “Settings,” then go to “Notifications.”
- Enable Email Notifications: Choose the types of updates you’d like to receive via email, including new messages, subscribers, likes, and comments.
Email notifications provide a reliable way to monitor activity without constantly checking the website, although they may have a slight delay compared to push notifications.
Staying Updated Without the OnlyFans Telegram Bot
The discontinuation of the OnlyFans Telegram bot has left creators with fewer options for quick updates, but both push and email notifications provide alternative ways to stay connected. Whether you prefer real-time push alerts or regular email updates, setting up these notification methods ensures that you won’t miss important interactions with your fans.
While OnlyFans hasn’t addressed whether the Telegram bot will return or if any new tools will be introduced, these remaining options can still help you keep track of the engagement on your account.
