Terms of use

Last updated: 26 October 2026

By starting the bot, linking your account or buying a pass, you accept these terms. They are short on purpose: read them once.

In short: you link your own Telegram account, you tick groups you are a member of, the service forwards their new media to your private chat. You stay responsible for what you save. Premium is a pass of a few days paid in Telegram Stars, which never renews by itself.

1. The service

mediasniff is a Telegram bot (@Mediasniffmini_bot), a Telegram Mini App and this website, operated by an independent developer. It reads, with your own Telegram account, the groups and channels you tick, and sends their new photos, videos and files into your private chat with the bot. You need a Telegram account to use it.

The free plan includes a number of media per day and a number of groups, shown in the app and on the website. These limits can change; a change never reduces a pass you have already paid for.

2. Your account

Linking creates a session for your own Telegram account, as if you had signed in on a new device. By linking, you authorise the service to read, with that session, only the groups you tick, and only to send you their media. You can revoke this at any time from the app (Settings › Disconnect) or from Telegram › Devices; the session is then deleted.

You are responsible for keeping your Telegram account secure. The service never asks for your password outside Telegram's own two-step verification prompt, and never stores it.

3. What you agree to

  • Only tick groups you are legitimately a member of, and respect their rules.
  • Content posted in a group belongs to the people who posted it. Saving it for personal use is your decision; sharing it further is your responsibility, especially in groups that mark their content as protected.
  • Do not use the service to collect, distribute or store illegal content, or to harass anyone.
  • Do not try to get around the limits, overload the service, or access other people's data.

Accounts that break these rules can be paused or closed without refund.

4. Premium passes and payment

Premium removes the daily quota and the group limit for a fixed number of days. Passes are paid in Telegram Stars, inside Telegram; prices are shown in the app before you pay. A pass starts immediately, or at the end of the pass you already have, and never renews automatically. Launch offers are valid until the date shown.

Because the service starts as soon as the pass is paid, you agree that the right of withdrawal provided by EU consumer law does not apply once the pass is active. If a pass did not work as described, write to the bot: refunds are handled case by case, in Stars, through Telegram.

5. What the service does not guarantee

The service depends on Telegram and runs on a best-effort basis. It can be interrupted, delayed or limited by Telegram's own rules. Some media may not be delivered: beyond your daily quota, above the maximum file size, during an outage, or when your session has been revoked. mediasniff is a convenience, not an archive: keep your own backups of anything important.

6. Liability

To the extent allowed by law, the operator's liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid in the twelve months before the claim. The operator is not responsible for the content of your groups, nor for what you do with the media you receive.

7. Ending the service

You can delete your account at any time from the app (Settings › Delete my account); everything is erased as described in the privacy policy. The operator can suspend accounts that break these terms, and can stop the service, with reasonable notice in the bot when possible.

8. Changes and law

These terms can change; the new version is published here with its date, and significant changes are announced in the bot. French law applies, without depriving you of the protection of the consumer law of your country of residence.

9. Contact

Write to the bot: @Mediasniffmini_bot. A human reads it.
