All bots excluding admin bots will be offline until further notification

Bot Privacy Policies

Bots and mini apps must comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations – including those from Apple and Google stores.

To remain in compliance with Apple guideline 5.1.1 (i), bots and mini apps must provide a Privacy Policy detailing what data they store, how they collect it, and for what purpose.

Operating without a separate Privacy Policy will lead to suspension or termination of your bot on Telegram.

Mini apps can make their Privacy Policy easily accessible by including a link to it on a 'Settings' page, while bots must make it available via the /privacy command.

For more information about these requirements, please see this section of the Bot Developer Terms of Service.

Happy Birthday @telegram 🥳

Telegram for Android and iOS Updated to Version 11.0

The following features have been introduced:

• Star Reactions for Channels: Channel administrators can now enable Star Reactions, and subscribers can send stars from their balance as reactions to posts. An unlimited number of stars can be used to react to each post from the user’s balance. If the user who made the reactions prefers, they can be publicly listed with others.

• Paid Channel Subscriptions: Administrators of private channels can create a paid invitation link and set a subscription fee. Any user who wants to subscribe to the channel using this link will need to pay this fee upon subscribing and then continue on paying it monthly to renew their subscription.

• Choosing the Sender of a Post on the Channel: Channel administrators can now choose under whose name a post will be made. The author selection menu includes the administrator’s personal account, the current channel, and all other public channels owned by the administrator. The new “Show Authors’ Profiles” setting in the “Administrators” section allows photos of senders to be displayed to the left of channel posts. The “Sign Messages” setting, previously located on the channel’s settings, is now available in this section.

• Displaying Sensitive Content: Android users now have an option to enable sensitive content in “Chat Settings”. Previously, this option was only available in Telegram Desktop and web clients, in their respective "Privacy" sections.

In addition, bots can now publish paid media, and iOS users can view .pdf, .xls, and .docx documents from the in-app browser.
