Owners and admins A managed account is a Telegram account that OnlyX has ready and already signed in. When you pick one for a creator, she is connected at once: nobody types a phone number or a code.

Before you start

  • You need an owner or admin account.
  • The account comes with its own Telegram name and @username. Fans see those, not the name you give her in OnlyX. You can change them after you connect.
