Many people can't find their results after a scan, or get hit by rate limits after just a few runs. It's actually simple: the system reads the bios of members in a group, and whenever it finds a group link, it adds it to Collected results further down the same page.
Many Telegram users put a promo group, channel or business contact in their bio. Member bio mining reads these bios in bulk and pulls out the group and channel leads they contain.
Right in the Collected results table at the bottom of the Find groups page, not in some hidden corner of the Task center. When a scan finishes, scroll down, or choose "Member bios" in the source filter.
Active posters are usually more engaged, more likely to advertise in their bios, and keep the scan size manageable. "Public members" covers more people, but it's slower and more likely to trigger rate limits.
In the result filter options ("Collect" and "Member filter"), you can choose groups only or channels only, and exclude bots. Narrowing things down first makes sorting through the collected results much easier later.
Bio mining reads strangers' profiles again and again. Scanning too many groups, or very large ones, in a short time can easily trigger Telegram's restrictions. Start with small groups, select only a few, and work in batches. If the account starts behaving oddly, pause for a while before continuing.
They're still on the current Find groups page — scroll down to "Collected results". You can also filter by the source "Member bios". The Task center only shows task progress; the detailed group list is in Collected results.
Reading a large number of strangers' bios is a high-frequency, sensitive operation. The newer the account and the harder you scan, the more likely it gets restricted. Stop the task and let the account cool down, then next time use "Active posters" and select just a few small groups.
It means the member bios that were scanned contained no matching group or channel links, or they were removed by the result filters you selected. That doesn't mean the task failed — this scan just didn't turn up usable leads.
Member bio mining only works on groups that the current account has already joined. First sync the chat list in Joined groups, or join the target groups, then come back here and select them.
Select them in Collected results, then either join them directly, or refresh them first to check member counts and activity before deciding whether to join or use them for later broadcasts and member invites.
