How do I convert my existing Telegram group to a local group?

1

Telegram has added a new option to pin a group to a location, but I only see the option to create a new group. I would like to pin my existing supergroup to a location, how to do that?

it's not the way it works and it's not pin it's to add, the option works as GPS based group upon your location, if you created a simple group before it is not a location based group. – JoKeR – 2019-07-17T12:02:19.517

so there's no way to "upgrade"? what is the fundamental difference (except geo tag which is I believe 2 decimals of latitude and longitude) – Alexei S – 2019-07-18T08:16:02.267

geo chats are only serve as a close to you users or friends that are not far from you it is more kind of a local communication chats. – JoKeR – 2019-07-18T10:38:58.720

yes I know. We have our condominium chat for example, which I would like to convert to a local group – Alexei S – 2019-07-19T05:57:35.007

This was my first though to pin local city cycling club chat to city’s location to make it searchable. – ADOConnection – 2019-12-03T14:40:55.097

It's impossible to convert a regular group to a local one. You could try making a location-based group and sending a link to it into the regular group but that's about it.
