The unstableness in Iran and the wave of users returning to Telegram
Iran has recently imposed severe restrictions on internet access, and after blocking access to Instagram and WhatsApp, many users have returned to Telegram due to the ease of connection. Telegram's internal proxy capabilities and optimal connection has led to a wave of users returning and reusing Telegram.
These events happened after the death of the 22-year-old #MahsaAmini, who was arrested by the morality police, which then brought people to the streets, and raised the call for freedom and prevention of economic corruption.
Telegram has been blocked in Iran for over 4 years, and a criminal case has been opened against Pavel Durov there.
The editorial team of @tginfoper, while expressing sympathy with the people of Iran, will try their best to communicate with you and hope that Telegram will activate the routing proxy service for the censored people of Iran due to the lifting of communication sanctions by the United States.

The Beta version of Telegram for Android lets you create "topics" inside group chats.
Topics are several small subchats within a group, in each of ones chat members will be able to join all sorts of discussions.
What is already known about topics:
β’ Topics will only be available to groups with more than 200 members.
β’ Topics cannot be activated in channel-linked groups yet.
β’ Most likely, only the owner of the group will be able to activate topics in the group.
β’ Any user emoji can be set as an avatar for a topic (Premium subscription required).
β’ If desired, topics can be closed, reopened, or deleted.
β’ You can set your own notification conditions for individual topics within a group.
β’ Users will be able to view any threads after joining a group.
β’ There is a switch for topics management in the chat members permissions settings.
Topics are currently in the testing phase, so there may be quite a few more feature-related changes by the time of release.
At the moment, topics are partially functional only on the Telegram test server.
More information about future innovations on the Beta Info channel.

As promised, we've launched the ability to buy Telegram usernames on a dedicated platform β Fragment. Auctions for the most valuable usernames are already live, so make sure to check it out. In a few days, we will also introduce the ability for users to sell their existing usernames on Fragment.
For the first time in the history of social media, a fair, transparent market for usernames is established. Finally people will have ownership over their social media addresses, secured in the immutable ledger of a decentralized blockchain network.
This is just the beginning, and yet an important milestone β the power has started to shift into users' hands.

Viber blocks clicks on Telegram links
Users noticed that the mobile app stopped highlighting t.me links in messages, thus preventing them from being clicked. The reasons for Viber's actions are unknown.
tginfoen.t.me, tx.me/tginfoen, and telegram.me/tginfoen links continue to work.
Viber messenger is especially popular in Ukraine and Belarus and is Telegram's main competitor in these regions.
For context, in the past Instagram blocked t.me links in profile bios, while Twitter used to consider articles posted on telegra.ph as spam.

Some content creators started using third-party payment bots to sell access to individual posts. This way, content creators could receive close to 100% of whatever their subscribers paid, which was great.
Unfortunately, we received word from Apple that they were not happy with content creators monetizing their efforts without paying a 30% tax to Apple. Since Apple has complete control over its ecosystem, we had no alternative but to disable such paid posts on iOS devices.
This is just another example of how a trillion-dollar monopoly abuses its market dominance at the expense of millions of users who are trying to monetize their own content. I hope that the regulators in the EU, India and elsewhere start taking action before Apple destroys more dreams and crushes more entrepreneurs with a tax that is higher than any government-levied VAT.
In the meantime, we at Telegram shall work to offer creators powerful and easy-to-use tools to monetize their content β outside of Apple's restrictive ecosystem.

Telegram revokes fraudulent gifted Premium subscriptions
Users who fraudulently bought Premium subscriptions from third-party vendors have started receiving notifications from Telegram's service account stating that their subscriptions have been canceled.
Legal subscriptions that were purchased or received as gift will remain valid.
Earlier, users discovered a vulnerability in Telegram, which allowed them to give out Premium for free to other users by various methods (from Jailbreak on an iOS device to a single purchase via Apple Gift Card, including some steps in between), thus abusing the "hole" in the messenger. The financial damage to the messenger due to the lack of money received for subscriptions could be estimated at hundreds of thousands, or even millions of US dollars.
The Telegram team reminds: If you want to purchase a genuine Telegram Premium subscription, you must use the verified @PremiumBot or other official payment methods. Otherwise, as this situation shows, you may pay not only for the subscription, but also for your money (which scammers are unlikely to reimburse).

While this channel has been a little quiet for the last three months, the app continued to evolve.
π Today, WebK introduces a redesigned Emoji and Sticker Panel β try the collapsible section for default emoji categories and the scrollable bar for your custom emoji sets.
The new Panel features a beautiful blur effect on most desktop browsers and allows you to send or edit messages containing custom emoji. (All users can try out this feature in their Saved Messages). Copy and paste are also available.
In the Stickers tab, you can now add or remove stickers from favorites, send without sound or individually delete them from the Recents section.
π Preview Stickers and Emoji
You can now get a closer look at stickers and emoji, both in the panel and in chats. Click and hold, then hover your cursor over the one you'd like to see in better detail.
Stickers are now rendered more efficiently, using fewer resources and saving battery. Custom Emoji have also had more improvements since their launch in late August.
β‘οΈ Downloading Files
The download flow has been reworked from scratch. When you download something, the app uses your connection in the most efficient way possible. Premium users will notice how dramatically fast the app downloads files for them β a little demo is available here.
Large files of up to 4 GB are now supported for both upload and download. There is also support for native downloading in certain browsers β your browser will place active downloads on the instrument bar.
πΈ Payments 2.0
Significant optimizations were added to smoothly process payments in any browser, and adding familiar functionality from other Telegram apps. Bot payments, @donate invoices and more are supported β including the ability to subscribe to Telegram Premium with @PremiumBot.
Dozens of bug fixes were also made to the app β but those can be a bit boring to read. If you ever come across a bug in the app, make sure to let us know on the Bugs and Suggestions Platform.

Topics in Groups, Collectible Usernames, Voice-to-Text for Video Messages and More
Telegram for Android and iOS were updated to version 9.1.
β οΈ The rest of Telegram customers will receive the new version soon.
Topics in groups
β’ To make it easier to follow the flow of information in conversations, admins of groups of 200 or more members can now organize discussions by topic.
β’ The feature allows you to create separate chats within the main group for certain discussions.
β’ For each topic, you can separately set up new message notifications and quickly view the media files that were published in it in the General Media section.
β’ Participants of such "sub-chats" have access to the entire arsenal of familiar tools, including polls, pinned messages, and bots.
β’ Administrators can enable them in Group Settings and choose who can create topics in the Permissions section.
You can test the topics option in groups in the official @TheForum chat.
Collectible Usernames
β’ Now you can bind several collectible public names to accounts and chats - in addition to regular one.
β’ Users can purchase or sell a valuable account or chat link on the new Fragment platform.
β’ Collectible public names look and work exactly like regular usernames like @username.
β’ Unlike standard usernames, collectible names can be shorter than 5 characters.
β’ Once a collectible public name is purchased, the user can dispose of it as they wish β for example, sell it or save it for later use.
β’ Any of the purchased public names can be deactivated. In this case, it will not be visible in the search results, but it will still remain with the owner.
π Voice-to-Text for Video Messages
β’ Now Premium-users have the opportunity to instantly translate speech from video messages into text format.
β’ Previously, with the addition of a paid subscription to Telegram, users could only decrypt audio messages - now the option also works with video messages.
π New Emoji Packs
β’ For this update, Telegram artists have prepared 12 new official emoji sets available with a Premium subscription.
β’ Just to remind that custom emojis can be used in any messages and captions, as well as status next to name.
New Interactive Emoji and Reactions
β’ 4 new interactive emojis appeared in Telegram: π΄, π¨βπ», π€, π.
β’ They are accompanied by full-screen animation in private chats, and can also be used as reactions to messages.
β’ In honor of Halloween, 3 thematic reactions are available to all users in any chats: π», π, π.
Visual changes
β’ Updated night mode (iOS): more balanced color combinations were selected and the blur effect in translucent elements were improved.
β’ Customize Text Size (Android): Changing the text size in the Chat Settings menu now applies to all chat items, including link previews, service messages, and more.
β’ When you move between screens in the Android app, you can see a new animation.
β’ Swiping left to reply to a message is now accompanied by a new animation.
β’ Clicking on a phone number in a user's profile opens a new menu to select the type of call.
β’ In place of messages during the loading of the chat, the outlines of text blocks appear with a new pulsating animation.

Topics in groups
β’ To make it easier for users to follow the flow of information in large conversations, administrators of groups of 200 or more members can now organize discussions by topic.
β’ A new feature allows create separate chats within the main group for certain discussions.
β’ For each such topic, you can separately set up new message notifications and quickly view the media files that were published in it in the General Media section.
β’ Participants of such "sub-chats" have access to the entire arsenal of familiar tools, including polls, pinned messages and bots.
β’ Administrators can enable themes in Group Settings and choose who can create topics in the Permissions section.
β’ If necessary, users can view the group chat as a single thread, and then switch back to view topics.
You can test the topics option in groups in the official chat @TheForum, or in a special group from Telegram Info β @infotopic.
