Changes on the Telegram Ads Platform

Over the recent period, the official advertising platform Telegram Ads has undergone several significant changes. Here’s an overview of the new features now available to advertisers:

• Targeting not just channels but their audiences. Instead of targeting specific channels, some authors can now target the audience of those channels. When setting up an ad, you can specify a list of channels, and their subscribers will see the ad not only on those channels but also on others.

• Using Target topics intersection. Ads can be tailored to users interested in multiple topics simultaneously.

• Setting display limits per person. Advertisers can set the frequency of ad displays to a specific user, ranging from 1 to 4 times per day.

• Device segmentation. You can choose between iOS or Android devices, mobile or desktop platforms, or opt-out of device type segmentation.

• The minimum rate for 1000 impressions is now €1.5, in the Politics & Incidents category, it’s €0.75.

• The option to restrict ad displays in channels of the Politics & Incidents category.

• Private links for ads. Advertisers can now use individual invitation links in ad campaigns for more accurate statistics, but the channel must remain public.

• Adding an avatar to the ad. When promoting a channel or bot, their avatar will be used, and when advertising a website, you can upload your image; otherwise, it will be generated based on the site’s data.

• Viewing statistics on new subscribers from ad campaigns is possible in the channel’s statistics section.

• Using 12 different captions for buttons. The following captions are available: “Visit site,” “Subscribe,” “Watch,” “Read,” “Learn more,” “Open,” “Register,” “Buy,” “Order,” “Play,” “Try,” “Submit request.”

⁣Unmentioned New Features on Telegram

On December 31, in their official blog, Telegram representatives hinted at the presence of several innovations, which they promised to talk about in January. Some of these features have already appeared in stable versions of applications.

1. Self-destructing voice messages

Telegram users now have the option to send a voice message that will be automatically deleted after the recipient listens to it.

• This message can only be sent in a personal chat.
• This message cannot be forwarded or recorded.
• If the recipient has started listening to a message, it will be deleted as soon as they finish listening to it or close the playback screen.
• In older versions of Telegram, such a voice message is displayed as “unsupported”.

Whether this feature will be implemented for video messages is unknown.

2. Updated the Saved Messages chat

Some users can now view the Saved Messages as Sections.

• To switch to section mode, you need to open the Saved Messages chat and click on its title.
• The list of sections is generated automatically by the application: each section corresponds to a separate chat from which messages were previously forwarded to the Saved Messages. In this case, messages sent to the Saved Messages by the user itself are displayed in the “My Notes” section, and messages from users who have prohibited linking their account when forwarding are stored in the “Author Hidden” section.
• Sections are sorted by the date of the last message forwarded from a given chat to the Saved Messages.
• Sections can be pinned, and pinned sections can be arranged in a convenient order.
• When you go to any section, the application displays all messages forwarded from the corresponding chat. Next to each message there is an icon to go to the original message, and at the bottom of the screen there is a button to go to the chat itself.
• In profiles of chats and channels from which at least one message was forwarded to the Saved Messages, the “Saved Messages” tab is now available. It displays all messages forwarded to Saved Messages from this chat.

⚠️ Attention: Currently only some users have these functions. The editors have no information about when they will become available to everyone.

3. Tags in Saved Messages chat on iOS

In one of the versions of the application for iOS, users could mark messages in the Saved Messages chat with reactions in order to quickly find all messages for any of them in the future. Thus, the reactions in this chat were supposed to function as tags.

However, the search for messages based on their reactions did not become available. In addition, in a subsequent update, references to the ability to sort messages based on reactions also disappeared from the interface.
