I’ve tried to find a way, but I think Telegram has made it impossible to obtain a direct link to images posted there. The only way I know of is to have the app installed, download the image to your computer, upload it to a place that hosts images, and link from there. It’s a pain to have to do all that.

Yes, you have to have the app installed to download images and vidyas. Otherwise take a screen grab from the browser. There are ways to get that image, but you’d have to look in the browser console to get it. There is no way to put images on FR without remote hosting or hot linking. FR cannot afford to host all the images people would post.

Telegram i can’t start an account there even if i wanted to. I don’t own a cell phone will not get one. Telegram has a lot of limitations

I guess we could describe the info and link to the post.
