Why was it crucial to publish the September Telegram update as soon as possible
The most important thing in this update is hidden under the hood. Earlier, Telegram used the "int32" value storage system (it has been since the launch of the application in 2013), where the range of user IDs, bots, groups and channels is already ending. In this regard, new users would simply lose the opportunity to register in the messenger, and the old ones would lose the opportunity to create groups, channels and bots.
Starting with the 8.1 update, a fundamental restructuring of all storage systems and scripts to "int64" has been done, providing for the expansion of this range. That is why the developers wanted to update Telegram as soon as possible, thus minimizing the risks.

Another major Telegram update is out now after having been finally approved by Apple. It is packed with unique features that expand the boundaries of what a messaging app can do. Check them out.
This new version of Telegram also contains an important upgrade that will allow our apps to work without interruption. Until now, Telegram used 32-bit values for the identifiers of users and channels. Due to its fast growth, Telegram had been quickly approaching the maximum number of 32-bit IDs, which is about 2.1 billion.
That's why for the last 12 months we've been rebuilding nearly all of our apps, storage architecture and scripts to migrate to the 64-bit range (so we can expand to other galaxies without any issues). The latest update is critical to let new users sign up for Telegram and existing users keep creating channels and groups.
After updating Telegram, some users may have to wait a minute or two for their chat database to be optimized for 64 bits. We are also investigating a few reports from the Android users that are facing connection issues after updating the app. We are fixing this, but if you don't want to wait, logging out and in again will help.

I wrote a detailed post explaining why Telegram sometimes has to take unusual actions in content moderation, such as following the policies of Google and Apple when they suspended a voting app last week.
TLDR; Had the position of Apple and Google been different, we could have avoided complying with a local law that prescribed content moderation last weekend. However, picking a fight with these two tech companies AND a government at the same time results in an immediate shutdown of Telegram for millions of users. Such wars have a heavy price and should only be started in cases when the requirement of a law is in direct contradiction with human rights.
Telegram gives its users more freedom than any other app. If Telegram has to temporarily remove some content due to a law, it means that other platforms would have removed it long before us.
If you are in the mood for a long read, check out the whole post.

âšī¸ New protocols were recently added that will transfer ownership of groups/channels to one of the admins if the owner deletes their account. However, if this happened a long time ago, then that would not have happened, and it is impossible to promote a new owner without the old one.

Sponsored messages are being tested now
Some more information about the upcoming sponsored messages feature appeared on the official localization platform.
What do we know:
âĸ Sponsored messages is advertisement from the Telegram itself, not the channel admins.
âĸ Advertisers can select channels they want to show their message on.
âĸ Sponsored messages are an experiment for now and are being tested.
âĸ For the testing period, only Telegram will make a profit from the advertising.
âĸ As soon as Telegram will cover its main spends, the profit will be shared with participating channels owners too.
âĸ In future the messenger website will have a panel for buying ads.
âĸ Sponsored messages are located below all the channel posts (you need to swipe down to see it).
âĸ According to Telegram's announcements, the ads won't be targeted and will not contain external links.
