High-resolution images in Telegram

The Telegram Desktop source code includes an option to change the value of the kPhotoSideLimit parameter from 1280 to 2560.

This means that Telegram servers already allow for the sending of images at a higher resolution, while clients continue to use the previous compression value.

The @tginfo editorial team hopes that in the future this change will appear on all clients and will also affect not only images but also video. This refers to the possibility of sending 4K video from all clients without compression to 1080p.

Telegram Info 7 years!
VPN and channels in 30 languages

7 years ago our community was born. During this time we have created and developed many different projects.

• 3 years ago, the TON Info (RU) news channel appeared, as well as the Beta Info (RU) channel, where we tell the most loyal fans about new features before they become available in the public stable versions of the Telegram apps. In addition, we continue to work on many other projects.

• In Russia, a significant portion of the internet is blocked. In the spring, we launched the Telegram Info VPN service, which helps users access any websites that are not available in Russia and other countries.

• Thanks to the efforts of people in many countries, our foreign channels are available in Indonesian, Persian, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Arabic, Russian, and other languages. There are now more than 30 of them. You can see a list of our communities on TGStat.

We won’t stop at what has been achieved and plan to do even more for our readers in 2023. If you want to join the @tginfoen team, help develop existing or create new services, write or translate news in your language and develop a local community, write to us at @infowritebot.

Sincerely, the @tginfoen team.

Changing the name of an emoji and sticker set

The official bot for creating emoji and sticker sets now has the ability to change the name of already created sets.

To do this, go to the conversation with @Stickers and send the /renamepack command.

Remember that in May 2017, usernames became clickable in the names of sets.

Changes in limits

A change in the code of secret chats in the Telegram Android source code has been noticed.

Now, a 64-bit number is used to store document sizes instead of a 32-bit number as previously. The range of integer values that can be stored in 32 bits is from 0 to 4,294,967,295.

Thus, using a 32-bit storage type format for file size, Telegram was not able to provide the ability to send files and media over 4 GB in size, which corresponds to the limit with Telegram Premium.

The Telegram Info editorial team assumes that in the future, the maximum possible size of transmitted files will be increased in both secret and regular chats.

SafetyNet attestation in Telegram for Android

Beta version of Telegram for Android has begun performing a SafetyNet check before sending out the SMS authorization code. This was discovered by developers of the unofficial Nekogram modification.

Telegram Info found out custom ROM users don't need to worry.

SafetyNet API, developed by Google, is a tool that app developers can use to detect unofficial modifications within the app and on the system, such as mods, root access, and custom ROMs. This technology is used to protect against piracy and improve security by blocking the app or certain features on devices deemed unreliable by the developer.

Some users have expressed concern that Telegram's implementation of SafetyNet may indicate that the app will no longer allow SMS codes to be received from devices with unofficial ROMs or that the app will cease to function on these devices altogether.

However, a deeper analysis of the app's code reveals that Telegram is using SafetyNet to test a new method of delivering SMS authorization codes via Google's Firebase service, which requires the device attestation. The old method of sending codes will still be used in other cases, leading to the conclusion that Telegram does not intend to impose any sanctions on users of unofficial apps or mods.

The use of Firebase may be related to the high cost of sending SMS messages and calls for authentication. The delivery of codes accounts for a quarter of the messenger's expenses.

Improved Avatar Quality

In upcoming Telegram update, users will have access to higher quality animated avatars. Telegram will use a new system for setting them up using an avatar builder.

How it was before:
Telegram for macOS
generated videos from stickers and uploaded them as video avatars.

How it will be after the update:
The client will upload data with background and sticker which will be used for avatar.

Therefore, users receive a vector image of a better quality.

On the left side you can see an animated avatar generated by the app, on the right — a vector avatar.
