Are there any specific tweaks or client mods that circumvent the ‘force subscribe’ check used by Telegram bots to gate content?
You can’t avoid the force-subscribe requirement because the bot checks whether your user ID is subscribed to the channel. This is handled on the backend, so it can’t be bypassed. The only thing you can do is join the channel, complete your task, and then leave the channel afterward.
Use the Force, triade_hum. Let go, Triade_hum! Stretch out with your feelings! Let go of your conscious self and act on instinct.
‘Force Sub’ bots use server-side checks (get_chat_member), so you technically cannot bypass the join requirement itself—the Telegram API simply won’t serve the file if you aren’t on the list.
However, you can bypass the restrictions they usually slap on the files after you join. Here is the Padawan-to-Master path:
• The ‘Dump & Ditch’ (Manual): Since you must join, the trick is to get the file out so you can leave immediately. Join the channel → Forward the file to your Saved Messages → Leave the channel.
• Bypassing ‘Copying Forbidden’ (The Real Issue): If the bot forces you to join a channel that also has ‘Restrict Saving Content’ turned on (so you can’t forward it out):
• Bot Solution: Forward the message link to a bot like @RestrictedContentSaverBot or @SaveRestrictedContentBot. They can often rip the file for you.
• Client Solution: Use a modified client like Nicegram (iOS) or Nekogram (Android). These often have an ‘Ignore Copy Restriction’ setting that lets you save files even if the channel admin disabled it.
• The Browser Trick: If the bot gives you a link to a ‘Web View’ or an external site, open it in a browser with uBlock Origin. This often kills the overlay that demands you join the channel, letting you scrape the direct download link."
