Add media to bot descriptions

@BotFather now allows setting a photo or a GIF to the bot description (aka "What can this bot do?").

To do it for a bot you own, open @BotFather › send /mybots command › choose your bot › select "Edit Bot", and then "Edit Description Picture".
You can either set a 640x360 image or a 320x180 GIF animation.

Earlier we have also mentioned it being used for some Telegram's official bots ahead of its general availability.

The update was released to Play Store, but without Premium yet

Version 8.8.0 for Android is already available at Google's app store. The official website doesn't have an update for the direct version yet.
Full changelog is here.

We expect an additional update soon, where Premium will become available for purchase. You can only use Premium if you have already purchased it on a different device.

The Android app update was released to the website

Version 8.8.2 for Android is already available at the official website.
Full changelog is here.

Premium cannot be purchased yet, as the bot is currently inactive. The launch of the bot for all users will be announced separately.

Smart Glocal, the official Telegram partner and developer of the @donate bot, announced (in Russian) that it is also responsible for the @PremiumBot bot.

This bot can be trusted as it was created together with the Telegram team. Most likely, this payment system is designed to circumvent Apple's prohibition on setting a lower price when bypassing the App Store payment system.

UPD. Some users complain about the new reactions missing after the update — you may try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app to fix that.

If it's attached to my account, then the feature that allows me to connect 4 accounts will apply to every app/device where my premium account is connected?

It's simply, if you have multiple devices, you can add one extra acount in one device and the rest remain 3.
