An example of a Web bot for food delivery

In the code of the public beta version of Telegram for Android, the name of the test Web bot was mentioned. This is a fictional food delivery service "Durger King".

In the native @DurgerKingBot interface, you can place an order with a few clicks, accompany it with a comment, and pay for the purchase using the payment information saved in Telegram or via Google Pay.

This is just a demo. The possible applications for Web bots are countless, and some of them we already wrote about in an article on the topic.

Telegram news feed

The official Telegram for iOS repository has seen a commit to confirm the appearance of a news feed in Telegram.

It appears that in upcoming updates, users will be able to view posts from channels in a unified feed.

Integration of the TON wallet into the Telegram client

Thanks to WebApp bots, the @wallet service has implemented the integration of the wallet into the attachments of Telegram clients.

Now you can transfer Toncoin cryptocurrency to users directly from the messenger. Without long wallet addresses, commissions and waiting for transaction confirmation.

We already wrote earlier that probably the entire Web bot platform was created specifically for the integration of TON Coin with Telegram.
