Overview
The "Member verification" feature protects a group from bots and spam: a new member must pass a check (CAPTCHA) before they can write in the group. Until they pass, their rights are restricted. If they run out of time or exceed the error limit, the bot automatically removes them from the group.
⚠️ The feature only works in supergroups. The bot must be an administrator with the rights to restrict and remove members.
Feature status
- 🟢 On — verification is active.
- 🔴 Off — verification is inactive.
Toggle it with the «🟢 Enable / 🔴 Disable» button.
Check types
You can enable one or several types (at least one):
- Math (buttons) — solve a simple equation by tapping the answer.

The check type for each new member is chosen randomly from the enabled ones.
