Paid Messages in Groups

On the Telegram test server, users can set a fee for sending messages in their groups. Today, this feature works like this:

Settings
• You can enable paid messaging in the “Permissions” section of the group settings screen.
• Only administrators with the “Ban Users” permission can set up a fee for sending messages.
• The setting is only available in supergroups. It is not available in basic groups.
• If the setting is enabled, regular group members must pay for sending each message to this group. Sending messages remains free for administrators.
• 85% of the stars paid by members go to the group, and the other 15% go to Telegram. Only the owner of the group is able to see and withdraw the balance of the group.

Sending Messages
• If the paid message sending option is enabled in a group, then users will see the corresponding text in the empty input field, and instead of the send button, they will see a button with a price and an image of a star.
• For sending each message, an ordinary group member will have to pay the number of stars specified by the group administrators.
• In groups with paid messaging, it is not possible to schedule messages, and messages scheduled before paid messaging was enabled will not be sent at the scheduled time.
• There is no fee for editing messages that have already been sent.
• Sending an album of several media will cost you the same amount as sending a single message.

We remind you that authorization on the test server is unstable, as is the purchase of stars. Discussion of these issues in our group is prohibited.

Group Calls With E2E Encryption in Beta Version

Users of the beta version of Telegram for Android 11.9.1 may now participate in group calls with end-to-end encryption.

To create a group call, navigate to “Calls › Start New Call” from the drawer and tap “Create Call Link”. The application will create a link to the group call in the form of t.me/call, which you need to send to the users you want to invite to the call.

Group call participants have the following options:
• Muting the microphone
• Broadcasting the main or front camera
• Adding new participants to the call (taking into account their privacy settings) and sharing the call link
• Minimizing the call screen to allow them to use the application while in a call

End-to-end encryption protects group calls from eavesdropping: all call data is encrypted so that only call participants can decrypt it.

Message Channels

In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 11.12 (30793), users may now send messages to channel admins, the channel "teleLakel" reports.

The price for messages may range from 0 to 10,000 Telegram stars. Previously, this feature appeared in Telegram for macOS.

The feature is currently in early development, only works on the test server, and may change in the future.

#iOS #beta

Auction for Purchasing Limited Gifts

In the beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.2 (31682), a new system for distributing gifts via auction has been implemented.

How the auction currently works:
• 50 gifts are distributed at different intervals among the top 50 participants with the highest bids. 
• If a bid drops out of the top 50, it is automatically carried over to the next draw. 
• If a bid does not win after the final draw, the stars are fully refunded.

At the moment, the auction applies to newly released gifts. Whether the system will also work for previously upgraded gifts is still unknown.

This feature is under development and currently works only on the test server. Its behavior may change in the future.
