verified Frequently Asked Questions: Group Boosts
Can a member transfer their boost to another group?
Yes. Premium members can reassign their available boosts to any channel or group at any time with a 24-hour cooldown between transfers.
What happens if a group loses boosts and drops below a level?
If members withdraw their boosts or subscriptions expire, the group enters a grace period. If boosts are not restored, higher-tier features (such as custom emoji or extra story slots) temporarily lock until the threshold is met again.
