Audiobook not saving your position: what to check

If your audiobook is not saving your position, first check your account, the book you selected, and any other open players. TGRadio stores your listening position in your profile, but a single jump backwards does not reveal the cause. Before refreshing or changing settings, note the chapter shown and the last passage you remember hearing.

Check that you are using the same account

Continuing on another device requires the same Telegram account. If your phone and computer use different accounts, they have different TGRadio profiles. Check which account you used to sign in, particularly if you switch between a personal and a work Telegram account.

If the browser asks you to sign in again, confirm the login in the bot only when the codes match. You do not give TGRadio your Telegram password. Once signed in, open Books and select the relevant entry in your library.

Compare the book copies

Matching titles do not prove that you opened the same library entry. For example, you might have both a file you uploaded and a copy added from the shared catalog. Do not assume that a listening position transfers between separate copies or editions.

Compare the available chapter names and listen to the opening passage. If the structure differs from what you remember, return to your library and look for the original entry. Importing the file again does not recover a missing position and may create another similar-looking book.

Check the connection and other sessions

If your connection dropped, do not assume the last second you heard reached your profile. Playing prepared audio stored on your device and updating your profile are different operations. Hearing the audio continue is not proof that your current place has synchronized.

Pause the same book in other tabs and on other devices. Restore your connection, then investigate using one player. Running several copies to compare them makes it harder to establish which listening position you actually want to keep.

Recover your place from the content

Open the chapter list and select the chapter containing the last passage you recognize. Press Play and check what you hear. If you remember an event rather than a time, start slightly earlier and follow the sequence until the content becomes new.

For example, you remember a conversation before a journey but not its timestamp. Find the relevant chapter and listen for that conversation. Move closer to the phrase within prepared audio. This approach does not depend on a full-text search feature.

Check whether the problem repeats

After recovering your place, listen to a short passage with a working connection, pause, and note the chapter and approximate position. Reopen the same book using one session. This checks the behavior without assuming that every return will be accurate to the second.

If it jumps back again, tell support which browser or Mini App you used, whether you were listening offline, and whether other players were open. Include the expected chapter and the chapter that actually opened. You do not need to share passwords.
