Links like t․me open in Telegram X, but I use a different client — what should I do?
After updating Telegram X to version 0.26.8.1717, users may have noticed changes in how links like t․me, telegram․me and telegram․dog are handled. Starting from this version, Telegram X takes priority for opening such links, even if they previously opened in another installed Telegram client.
To revert back to the previous behavior, follow these steps:
1. Open system settings.
2. Go to the "Apps" section.
3. At the top of the page, select the "Default apps" menu. On some manufacturers' devices, like Xiaomi, this item is hidden behind a three-dot icon in the top right corner.
4. At the bottom of the page, tap on "Opening links".
5. Find Telegram X in the list and tap on it.
6. Disable the "Open supported links" option. If the list of "Supported web addresses" displays a list of domains with switches, you need to turn off all the domains.
7. Go back to the list of applications and select the main Telegram application.
8. Enable the "Open supported links" option. Tap "Add link" or "Supported addresses" and enable all domains in the list if switches are present.
The @tginfo editorial team is unaware if this logic will change in future versions of Telegram X.

Telegram Removes Bots Containing Specific Phrases in Messages
Today, some bot developers faced the issue regarding their bots being removed by Telegram. The likely reason for the removal is that the bots' messages contained specific phrases that triggered Telegram's security system.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that many bots include usernames in their messages. This allows some users to deliberately include prohibited phrases in their profile names, and then interact with bots to trigger their removal by the platform.
The @tginfo team does not have details on the number of bots removed or the specific phrases that lead to a bot's removal.
UPD. 7:20PM UTC: The mechanism is likely different from what was described above. After receiving a message from a bot, users report such messages, and it is in fact the processing of these complaints that leads to the bot being removed.
UPD. 7:35 PM UTC: Some of the blocked bots have already been restored.
UPD. 8:25 PM UTC: All blocked bots are restored.

Telegram Demands All Bot Developers to Sell Paid Features Using Its New Currency — Telegram Stars
Telegram is sending out messages to bot developers, requiring them to switch any third party payment services to Telegram Stars when receiving payments for digital goods and services. There is a three week deadline, due on June 12. Telegram explains this decision was made due to pressure from Apple and its App Store guidelines.
The new rules have sparked numerous concerns for developers, especially due to the fact developers will only receive payouts in TON. The @tginfo team tells everything we know about Telegram Stars yet and voices questions and concerns developers have.
We also invite bot developers to express their opinion on this change in comments.

Official Microsoft Copilot Bot on Telegram
It seems that Microsoft has launched an official bot for its AI search chatbot, Copilot:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/copilot-for-social
To use the bot, you need to share your phone number with it. This way, Copilot verifies your country. It will refuse to work if your number is from an unsupported region such as Iran and Russia.
The bot responds to questions with links, similar to the web version. Supported links are displayed in Instant View format.
The bot has a limitation: you can send no more than 30 messages a day.
You can try it here: @CopilotOfficialBot.

Telegram to Introduce Fact-Checking Feature
The source code of Telegram for Android has revealed lines indicating the development of a new feature called "Fact Check." It appears that this feature will be implemented in partnership with government-assigned fact checking agencies.
- The "Fact Check" feature will allow additional clarifying information to be attached to messages. However, it will function differently from Twitter's Community Notes, even though they might seem similar at first glance.
- The government in your country will be able to appoint an agency to conduct fact-checking on public Telegram channel posts. This agency will have full control over the content of these fact check blocks, while regular users will not be able to influence or have a say in the notes. By clicking on the "What is this?" tool-tip, details about the agency providing the fact-check will be shown.
- Unlike Telegram's "Fact Check" feature, Twitter's Community Notes are created and evaluated by regular users, and the most useful notes are selected by an algorithm based on votes from readers with diverse political views.

Telegram at the Center of Disinformation: EU's Struggle with the Messenger
Bloomberg has published an article regarding Telegram's role in spreading disinformation and the European Union's attempts to regulate the messenger.
According to the article, Telegram has become one of the main channels for promoting fake news aimed at undermining support for Ukraine. Additionally, the Russian secret service is using the platform to recruit individuals for sabotage in European cities.
Here are some key points from the article:
- Telegram as a Key Tool: Telegram is a crucial weapon for pro-Kremlin accounts in spreading disinformation against Ukraine.
- Recruitment by the Russian Secret Service: The Russian secret service is using Telegram to recruit petty criminals for acts of sabotage in European capitals.
- EU's Powerlessness: EU authorities are largely powerless to curb Telegram due to its relatively small user base in Europe (fewer than 45 million users).
- Doubt on User Base: EU officials doubt Telegram's claim of having 41 million active users in Europe.
- Estonian Prime Minister's Call: Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has called on the European Commission to independently assess the actual amount of users on Telegram in the EU.
- Possible Classification as a Major Platform: If Telegram is recognized as a "very large online platform" under the new EU Digital Services Act, it will be required to combat disinformation.
At the same time, Telegram's upcoming update will include a new "Fact Check" feature to fight fake news.
