Gift privacy settings

A new privacy setting has become available to Telegram users: “Who can display gifts on my profile”.

Gifts from those users and Mini Apps that are allowed to send such gifts will be automatically published in the recipient's profile. And if a gift is sent by user who is not allowed to do so, then this gift will only be displayed in the chat with the giver, and will not be published in the profile.

Additionally, we note that the recipient of the gift in all cases can manually change the visibility of the received gift in their profile: both hide a previously published gift and publish a hidden one.

Fragment Introduces Mandatory Identity Verification for Buying and Selling Telegram Services

The Fragment platform has introduced a KYC (identity verification) procedure. This means that the platform may require personal information and supporting documents to perform certain actions.

Important:
• Mandatory verification: Now, to purchase “stars” and other services, including Premium or an anonymous number, you must pass KYC (Know Your Customer).
• Verification process: Fragment uses a third-party service, Sumsub, which has an automatic system for verifying users' identities.
• Required information: Buyers must provide an email, phone number, a scanned copy of an identity document, and a photograph of their face.

You can check the verification of your Telegram account and TON wallet on the Fragment profile page .

Purchasing Telegram Premium and stars via @PremiumBot and app stores works without changes.

"Durov's Code" reminds that anonymous numbers and usernames can be purchased for cryptocurrency without KYC on decentralized marketplaces, such as Getgems.io .

Even if the NFT is purchased on a third-party platform, its activation in Telegram occurs through Fragment. The editorial team of @tginfo does not know whether unverified users will be able to use their NFTs in Telegram in the future. Owning an NFT does not guarantee that the purchase can be used in Telegram, as we wrote about in 2022.

The @tginfo editorial team does not know the reasons for introducing the KYC procedure. Telegram representatives did not comment on these changes.
