Unique Names for Invite Links

Admin Approval can be applied to any link in the 'Additional Invite Links' section – we've also added the ability to give all of those links unique names, so you can label them for better organization.

Link names will be especially helpful if you're using all the different options that exist for invite links, such as limits on duration, number of uses , etc.

Transit Times for Shared Locations on iOS

You can show where you are or where you're headed by sending a location from the attachment menu 📎 in the message bar. Tapping a shared location pulls up a map of the area – which now shows you the travel time to get there by 🚶🏻‍♂️foot, 🚘 car, or 🚆public transport. To see detailed directions or get a taxi to the location, tap on the travel time to open it in your preferred app.

Transit times are shown for both static and live locations – so you can see how long it will take to meet your friends while they're on the move.

Instant Media Captions for iOS

The text you type in the message bar now automatically converts to a caption when you attach media, so you'll never have to retype or cut and paste what you just wrote. This also works with Cloud Drafts – so you can type out the message on your computer, then simply attach the photo from your phone and send it all together.

Settings updated for iOS 15

Settings on iOS have been redesigned to match the style of iOS 15, including streamlined Notification and Sticker settings. The Devices section now gives you a clearer overview of your active sessions with new icons – tap any device to see more details or log out from it remotely.

Remember that locations shown for your devices are based exclusively on their IP addresses. This data is not always accurate, so don't be surprised if your laptop suddenly travels to Iceland while you're sleeping.

More Interactive Emoji

This update brings new interactive emoji. Send a single 👻 👎 🤮 😂 💸 or 🎃 in any private chat, then tap the emoji to unleash its full-screen effect.

If your chat partner also has the chat open, you will both see the effects and feel the vibrations simultaneously.

As you know from previous update, this magic also works with 🎆 🎉 🎈 👍 💩 and ❤️.

Telegram is Working on a Paid Subscription

Pavel Durov promised (in Russian) to launch an Ad-Free subscription this month.

Also the messenger team is working on an option for the channel owners to turn ads off on their channel. That will be possible with an "invisible sponsored message". This means ads won't be shown if the channel owner is ready to pay per view more than the advertisers.

#monetization

Pavel Durov @Durov_russia :

Many users have suggested introducing the ability to disable official advertisements in Telegram channels.

We have already started work on this new feature and look forward to launching it this month. It can be issued in the form of a low-cost subscription, which will allow users to directly financially support the development of Telegram.

Some channel creators would also like to "turn off" advertisements in their channels. At the moment, we are calculating the economic conditions for this option. Advertisers will soon be able to place an "invisible" ad on any channel that - assuming there is sufficient cost per impression - will result in no ads on that channel.

We will continue to work on features that will allow Telegram to become a break-even project. The interests of users and content authors will remain our priority in this process.

How the features from the November Telegram update should work

In early November, Telegram launched a contest for Android developers, the goal of which was to implement features, which will become part of the upcoming update.

Today, the works of the contestants have become publicly available, which means that users can already try some of the functions. Let's try to figure out how it currently works:

1. Prevent forwarding messages and saving media

At the moment, the function is working, and can be configured by the author of the group or channel. It is important to note that forwarding messages and saving media works from older versions of clients, this should be fixed after stable release.

2. Sending messages via a channel in public groups

At the moment, you can write via channel only in those chats where the user is the administrator. There is no such limitation on the test server.
