Meet the most powerful polls tech in social media. Telegram's polls update packs a dozen new features:

🗳 Attach photos, videos & audios to options
💡 Let users suggest new options in active polls
🔐 Disable revoting for fixed results
😃 Shuffle options per user
Set time limits on polls
👀 Show who voted next to each option
📊 View results without voting
🔔 Get notified when someone votes
📂 View all polls in groups / channels
🫣 Hide results until the poll ends
🧠 Add correct answers and explanations for wrong picks

🔜 We're already working on more — 📊 polls stats, plus options to limit voting to channel subscribers or users from selected countries. Turns out bot rigging of polls in large channels is a massive issue, and we're building the tools to stop it. 🛡

🇪🇺 The EU is trying to justify its push for more surveillance (Chat Control) and censorship (DSA) via controlled NGOs and media. AI Forensics, a Soros-funded contractor to the European Commission, is telling us that Telegram is a PROBLEM because people can discuss content from OTHER social media in PRIVATE telegram groups (see the screenshot from state-owned France24 below).

📣 The crazy narrative of this "non-governmental" organization is distributed by globalist outlets (El País, Der Spiegel, Wired) and AFP (France’s “ITAR-TASS”), which is carbon-copied by the “free” French press (Le Parisien, 20 Minutes, Ouest-France, Le Figaro).

I doubt anyone still takes these organizations seriously 🤡 — most of them lost people's trust during the COVID era. But it’s important to call out all such attempts at public manipulation, because they are used to take away what's left of our freedoms. 🗽

Telegram Plans to Fight Spam Reactions

Soon, group admins will be able not only to ban users who leave reactions but also to delete reactions from such users, Pavel Durov announced. Moderator bots that use the Bot API will be able to do this too, the message clarifies:

“The problem with spam bots in reactions is understood. We have started working on solving it. Soon it will be possible to ban users from the reactions list and remove all existing reactions of this user in the chat.

The same will be available to automatic bot moderators in the Bot API”.


Just a few days ago, Durov mentioned on his channel that the messenger team is working on tools to detect inauthentic votes in polls and protect the results from manipulation.

The Telegram fork website "Telega" was identified as a spyware site by Cloudflare, which prompted them to revoke their TLS certificate. This is the sole reason Apple removed their app from App Store — this is according to media experts.

💢 Another, official version is that the removal was due to a rash of negative reviews left in the App Store, where it can only delete all reviews, including positive ones, not one by one. The reason for the negative comments is access restrictions due to the load on VKontakte's proxy.

🕵️ An investigation was previously published at https://dontusetelega.lol/ (interesting read), and tech support began insulting users.

🔐 We’ve upgraded Telegram’s anti-censorship protocol. Users in Russia are advised to update their apps to stay connected despite the ban.

⚠️ Some other advice: stock up on several VPNs/proxies in advance, help your friends and family do the same, and avoid using Russian apps while connected to a VPN (they may report your VPN to authorities for blocking).

💪 I’m glad to see most people are already doing this. Thanks to this Digital Resistance, Telegram usage in Russia has remained stable over the past week despite the full ban.

🔥 Keep it up. On our side, we’ll continue improving Telegram’s decentralized anti-censorship tech.

😀 Pavel Durov drew attention to a post from a random Telegram channel asking to resolve a problem with likes, and stated that the team has reported the problem and has started to solve it. It is expected that reactions will be able to be deleted by the same senders, and there will also be API support.

👙 Context: whorebots have long been using reactions en masse to engage users, and now (I guess no one will fall for the bait, LMAO) (out of spite) they're only leaving clowns reactions.

😀 Earlier this week, Durov also acknowledged the problem with fake votes in Telegram polls, specifically, as Durov points out, regarding voting for which party to support [Единая Россия]. The team is also addressing this issue by adding additional features…
#oldschool 🇧🇾 The old users will understand that such expected restrictions have actually existed for about 6 years. There is an official Belarusian channel from the Telegram team itself, where, in addition to polling subscribers on which presidential candidate to vote for, they also introduced an experimental option (available only to developers once), through which some poll options can only be voted on by Belarusian users. 🗳 In this poll, there is an option that everyone can vote on, while for the others, only those with a +375 phone number attached can vote.

🗳 There is also a second poll with the exact same idea. It concerns the blocking of channels that leak personal data of punishers.

🥺 This is exactly what is mentioned in Durov's comment. This is the function we are waiting for from Telegram.

❗️❗️publish posts with "draft:" as all others. Recently, many channels have adopted an emoji pack that imitates a draft to lure subscribers into opening a channel. This is not for April Fool's Day; it is due to the successful spread of the joke.

👿 However, the original pack [address CHernovik784], once it became clear that it had exploded in popularity, was sold to an account, after which "casino" was added to the pack's name. To be honest, the scheme did not work — not many were lured into gambling, and as soon as large channels found out about it, they immediately panicked and started creating their own copies of the emoji pack.
