Due to the recent events in the Middle East, particularly in Israel, Lebanon, and Iran, Telegram experienced unprecedented loads. In the past few days, some users may have faced temporary connection issues and difficulties accessing media. Thanks to our technical team's efforts, Telegram remained available in most countries, and all issues are now fully resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Unigram 11.2 is rolling out now to the Microsoft Store. Find out what’s new by reading the blog post here.

Warning: users with a passcode may encounter problems when launching the app, a fix is on the way.

New Reasons For Reporting Content

Users can now report content for more different reasons than was previously available.

The content report menu now includes reasons such as “Illegal goods”, “Personal data”, “Copyright”, and some others.

Some items in the report menu, such as “Scam or spam”, are now sections in which the user can specify more detailed reason for the complaint.

When selecting some reasons, the application prompts the user to add a text comment. It is noteworthy that when selecting reasons ”I don't like it” and “It's not illegal, but it must be taken down”, it is impossible to specify a comment.

Limited Gifts in Telegram

In addition to the usual gifts, version 11.2 of Telegram introduced two "limited" gifts, released in limited quantities:
🍭 — 500,000 lollipops priced at 15 stars each;
🌸 — 100,000 cherry blossoms priced at 25 stars each.

The total value of the entire offering of these two gifts amounted to 10 million stars, which is around $150,000 based on the exchange rate on Fragment.

In the announcement, Pavel Durov mentioned that this year Telegram will introduce the ability to convert limited-edition gifts into NFTs based on TON: users will be able to auction and trade these tokenized gifts outside of Telegram.

After this, the limited gifts were completely sold out within a few hours.

Once users have bought all the "limited" gifts, they will no longer be available to send. Those who received them will have unique gifts, at least until they decide to exchange them for "stars". This way, users can collect gifts marked as "limited".

Announcement of Improvements for Message Editing, Hashtags, and Gifts

On his channel, Pavel Durov announced several new features: improvements for gifts and hashtags, edit times displayed on messages, as well as the ability to add media to messages after they’ve been sent.

As a reminder, the edit time for messages can already be seen by users of Telegram Desktop, Telegram for macOS, and Telegram X.

According to Durov, the designers prepared mockups the same day he shared his ideas, and internal builds with these features were created the very next day.

Fraudsters pretend to be @Wallet support

Over the past few days, there have been more and more cases of fraudsters pretending to be @wallet support. The user receives a message in a private chat stating that they urgently need to go through the verification procedure(“KYC”) in Wallet, and if they do not do this, they will lose access to their account.

After the victim follows the link, they receive a one-time authorization code. It can come either from a Telegram service account or by email. Having given this code to the attackers, the user soon discovers that their sessions has been terminated. And when trying to log back into their account, the user receives a message stating that their phone number has been blocked, or ends up in a new account.

Remember: if the "BLOCK" button is displayed at the top of a new private chat, it means that you have been contacted by fraudsters: there will be no such button in dialogues with Telegram service accounts.
