Official demonstration: Selecting multiple messages across different senders in a group, opening the mass moderation control sheet, toggling specific deletion and restriction permissions, and executing atomic moderation in a single tap.
Multi-Select Bulk Actions
Select up to 100 messages at once across multiple chat members, consolidating what used to take 10 minutes into a 5-second administrative action.
Granular User Toggles
The mass moderation sheet breaks down selected messages by individual user, allowing you to ban user A while only deleting messages from user B.
Aggressive Spam Filtering
Groups with 200+ members can enable automated AI-driven aggressive spam shields that catch cryptic crypto, phishing, and bot spam before humans see it.
Purge All Past Messages
Choose whether to delete only selected messages or wipe the entire chat history of a banned offender across the entire supergroup.

Admin Privilege Check Requirement
To execute mass moderation, your admin account must have both
delete_messages:true and ban_users:true enabled in your admin permissions. If you only possess delete rights, the user restriction toggles will be disabled.

OPERATIONAL BLUEPRINT
How to Execute Mass Moderation During a Group Raid
Follow this exact sequence when your supergroup experiences coordinated spam or raid attacks.
1
Long-Press and Enter Multi-Select Mode
Long-press on the first offensive message to trigger multi-selection circles. Tap each spam message you want to eradicate. Messages can come from completely different users.
2
Tap the Moderation / Trash Action
Tap the red Delete (trash icon) at the bottom or top bar. Because you are an administrator with moderation privileges, Telegram detects multi-user messages and displays the dedicated Mass Moderation Sheet instead of simple deletion.
3
Review the Target Member Matrix
Each offending user is listed with individual toggle options:
• Delete selected messages
• Delete all messages from this user (Full history wipe)
• Ban user from group
• Report for Spam
• Delete selected messages
• Delete all messages from this user (Full history wipe)
• Ban user from group
• Report for Spam
4
Confirm and Execute Instantly
Tap Apply to All. Telegram executes the deletion and restrictions in parallel across all servers, immediately cleaning the chat for all group participants.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Mass Moderation FAQ
Key answers regarding recent actions audit logs and aggressive spam shield requirements.
Where can other admins review mass moderation actions?
All mass moderation actions are logged in the group's Recent Actions log. The log explicitly records which administrator executed the purge, listing the exact count of messages deleted and any user permission changes applied.
How does Aggressive Anti-Spam differ from standard spam filtering?
Standard anti-spam filters known bot accounts and explicit spam signatures. Aggressive Anti-Spam (available to groups with 200+ members) utilizes automated linguistic models trained to detect zero-day crypto scam scripts, disguised phishing URLs, and sneaky bio-promotions, automatically holding them for admin review.
Can mass moderation actions be undone?
User bans can easily be undone by navigating to Group Settings > Removed Users and unbanning the member. However, deleted message contents cannot be restored once purged from Telegram's cloud servers.
