Huawei Services Support

The version of Telegram for Android in AppGallery is now supporting Huawei services for location and push notifications.

It previously used services from Google which led its operations to be unstable.

If you own a Huawei device, tell us if you have noticed better performance after Telegram's recent update.

You can download Telegram from AppGallery here.

Scams on the Telegram Ad Platform

Yesterday, the first scam channel appeared on the Telegram Ad Platform.

The scammers create hundreds of fake channels which get approved for the Telegram Ad Platform, and then they use them to redirect users to their fraudulent channels.

Requiring companies to pay €2,000,000 has not prevented the platform from scammers which purchase advertisement packages from bigger companies.

Telegram is already aware of the incident and is taking action. Telegram Info Editors recommended a "Report" button for sponsored messages, so it may appear any time soon.

Telegram revokes inactive names

In the last couple of days, Telegram has revoked the public addresses of hundreds of public chats without warning their owners.

In the most of the cases, the affected chats where those which had no content, or no content for over a year.

A close source to Telegram reported that this is a common practice, and that it won't be possible to reoccupy the revoked addresses for a while.

Furthermore, according to the same source, there are plans to reform the public usernames system.

⚰️ UtyaGram has come to an end

As all the nice things, they come to an end.
UtyaGram has been the main client for a lot of us for a very long time, we started with revolutionary ideas and we wanted to make our client better day by day.
As you may have noticed in the last months, UtyaGram hasn't been updated anymore, this because we had issues with one of our team members, who lied to us for a very long time and the other developer didn't (and currently doesn't) have time to actively maintain the project anymore, mostly with all the things left behind by the other developer and the Telegram for Android code being not "the best" for maintenance.

As Telegram Premium arrived we considered the idea of declaring our client EOL, there are many things that have been re-introduced by Telegram and that we didn't feel safe having anymore, as we already had issues with Telegram's ToS.
We still think that our client was nice and had really well-implemented features, but we're not able to tell which parts of the code by the developer that we kicked out were written by him and which ones were stolen, so, we won't release any source to respect others' work.

Today is the day, UtyaGram won't be updated anymore.
We're sad, as a team we had lots of fun discussing about features and stuff, we spent money and time for the client, but that isn't anymore enough to keep it up.

Has been a great experience for us, which took us to learning new stuff, and we also loved the community interaction that was the fundamental part of our idea, but as said in the first lines, everything nice has an end.

You can no longer gift cheap Telegram Premium subscriptions to users from other countries

In the latest update, it became possible to gift a premium subscription to other users. To save money, some users began to gift Premium subscriptions through accounts created using phone numbers from countries where its price was much lower than in other countries.

The Telegram team noticed and made it impossible to do so, and only users with a linked phone number from the same country as yours can gift subscriptions at their regional price. If you gift Telegram Premium to an user residing in a country different than yours, then the prices will be internationalized (for example, in dollars, an annual subscription will cost $35.99).
