01 About ZIRH BOT

ZIRH BOT is a Telegram security bot developed by CYBER HIMOYA. It protects users in private chats and groups from scams, malicious files and spammers.

  • 🔍 Checks links — detects phishing and scam websites
  • 📁 Checks files — including APK apps, for malicious code
  • 👥 Protects groups — automatically deletes dangerous links and files
  • 🛡 Detects spammers — anti-spam checks accounts automatically
  • 📥 Downloads media — from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and more
  • 🌐 Works in 6 languages — Uzbek, Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, English and Turkish

02 Getting started

  1. Open @ZIRH_BOT in Telegram and send /start.
  2. Choose your language if asked. You can change it any time with the 🌐 Язык button or the /lang command.
  3. Subscribe to our official channels: @cyberhimoya and @zirh_news.
  4. Tap ✅ Check — once your subscription is confirmed, the main menu opens.
The subscription is only required to use the bot in a private chat. Group protection does not depend on it.

04 Checking a link

Send a suspicious link straight to the bot or tap 🔍 Check a link. If a message contains several links, all of them are checked. Short links (e.g. bit.ly) are expanded and their real destination is checked.

DangerousScam or phishing detected. The risk level is shown as a percentage.
SuspiciousThere are signs of a threat — shown together with the reason.
SafeNo malicious code found, but caution is still recommended.
Limit: up to 5 link checks per hour.
Never enter personal data, card numbers or SMS codes on a website marked as dangerous.

05 Checking a file

Tap 📁 Check a file and send the file. The bot checks it for malicious code. For APK apps it also checks whether the app exists in the official store (Play Market) and, where possible, suggests a link to the original app.

Limit: up to 5 files per hour, each up to 20 MB.
Do not install unknown APK files sent as a “bonus”, “payment” or “gift” — they often steal card details and accounts.

06 Downloading media

Send the bot a link from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Likee or Pinterest — it downloads the video, audio or photo. For YouTube links choose 🎞 Video or 🎧 Audio.

If you send too many requests in a short time, the bot asks you to wait a little.

07 Protecting a group

  1. Tap 👥 Add to group in the main menu and choose your group.
  2. Make the bot an admin and grant the rights: delete messages, restrict members, invite via link.
  3. Done! The bot automatically checks every link and file in the group.

If a dangerous link or file is found, the message is deleted and the sender cannot write for 30 minutes. Messages from group admins are not deleted.

If the bot is not an admin or lacks rights, it can only warn — it cannot delete the message.

08 Anti-spam: detecting spammers

Anti-spam automatically checks every account that writes in or joins the group: its profile, the channel linked to it and the files in that channel are analysed. Real users are never asked to pass a test or captcha.

  • /antispam — turn protection on (group admins only)
  • /antispamoff — turn protection off

When a spammer is detected, their message is deleted and the account is restricted in the group. Suspicious accounts go through an in-depth check — their behaviour is monitored for a while.

In new groups anti-spam is off by default — a group admin turns it on.

09 If you were restricted by mistake

If you are a real user and were restricted by mistake:

  1. Tap 📨 Mistake? Let us know under the warning in the group.
  2. In the bot, tap ✅ Pass verification and solve a simple sum.
  3. The restriction is lifted immediately. A group admin can also lift it by confirming the account.

10 Profanity filter

  • /on18 — turn the filter on
  • /off18 — turn the filter off

When the filter is on, a member who uses a swear word is muted for 5 minutes. These commands are for group admins only.

11 Language settings

ZIRH BOT works in 6 languages: 🇺🇿 Uzbek, 🇷🇺 Russian, 🇰🇿 Kazakh, 🇰🇬 Kyrgyz, 🇬🇧 English and 🇹🇷 Turkish.

  • In a private chat: the 🌐 Язык button or the /lang command.
  • In a group: the language is taken from the person who added the bot; an admin changes it with /lang.
  • Web version and guide: the 🌐 button at the top of the page.

14 FAQ

Why did the bot delete my message?

A link or file in your message was found dangerous, or anti-spam identified your account as a spammer. If this is a mistake, see “If you were restricted by mistake”.

The bot doesn’t work in my group. What should I do?

Make sure the bot is a group admin and has the rights to delete messages and restrict members.

I can’t pass the subscription check.

Make sure you are subscribed to both channels (@cyberhimoya and @zirh_news), then tap ✅ Check again.

Can anti-spam restrict real users?

Very rarely. Such cases are caught by an additional check and the restriction is lifted; the user can also lift it themselves by solving a simple sum.

How do I report a scam website?

Use the 🆘 Send a complaint button in the bot or write to @zirh_support.
