New Rules for Boost-Based Level Ups
The May 9, 2025 update not only gave users several new features but also simplified how channels achieve level ups.
Unfortunately, at the time of the update, the official Telegram website provided no information about the new rules for calculating the number of boosts a channel must receive to move to a particular level.
The @tginfo team is publishing the results of its own investigation into the new mechanism in its article: https://tginfo.me/new-levels-ranking-en

Errors When Buying Gifts
In recent days, users have been encountering issues when trying to purchase gifts on the Telegram marketplace. The two most common situations are:
1. Nothing happens when the purchase button is clicked.
2. The app displays an error message with the code
The cause of these errors lies in the fact that the marketplace may display gifts that are not actually available for purchase.
This is because, as of May 13, Telegram introduced a rule stating that a gift cannot be listed for resale until 21 days have passed since it was received or upgraded by its current owner. However, gifts that were listed for resale before this rule came into effect still appear in the resale list, but they cannot be purchased.

Telegram and Digital Blindness: the accessibility challenges that remain unresolved
This article highlights the main accessibility issues faced by TalkBack users on Telegram.
Let’s Talk About #Accessibility on #Telegram
My friend José Carlos from the @Telenewstech channel has published an important blog post after several days of testing Telegram with TalkBack, the screen reader used by many blind and visually impaired users.
His findings are concerning: many Telegram features are still not accessible, making the app difficult or even impossible to use for people with vision impairments. As he rightly points out, if these issues are not highlighted, they will continue to be ignored.
This post is a call to action.
It’s not just a critique—it includes detailed feedback and, most importantly, links to two reports on Telegram’s bug and suggestion platform. You can help simply by voting on these reports. It’s quick, free, and could make a real difference.

Not only one bot was blocked, but also other projects with a million-strong audience, as well as those who bought fragment usernames from them. Previously, Telegram blocked organic traffic, namely specific keywords in search.
Under this circumstance, the
getMyName method returns a 400 "FROZEN_METHOD_INVALID" error, while the getMe method returns results as usual. I assume, based on the source, that this bot is designed to provide app themes.Sources: 💌💌💌 + 💌💌💌

Features 1.png
📼 We’ve just launched our first-ever contest for content creators. The goal is simple: create a viral video showing how Telegram has always been years ahead of its cheap copycat — WhatsApp.
We’ve caught WhatsApp running smear PR campaigns against Telegram, so it’s only fair we hit back. No more playing nice — gloves off now🥊
It’s time to wake WhatsApp users up. They’re trapped in the past, using late, watered-down versions of innovations Telegram pioneered long before.
To help you get started, we’ve included 30 major features that Telegram introduced first — all later cloned by our green rival. Obviously, this list isn’t exhaustive. It doesn’t even cover the many features Telegram users enjoy that still don’t exist on WhatsApp — those would take dozens of slides.
That’s why we’re not worried about WhatsApp trying to catch up with us — we’re too far ahead. Anyway, the $50,000 contest ends May 26 — check it out here.

Grok Integration
Pavel Durov announced that Telegram has reached an agreement with Elon Musk to integrate Grok into the messenger this summer.
The one-year partnership will give Telegram users access to xAI’s Grok chatbot.
Telegram will receive $300 million in cash and equity from xAI, as well as 50% of revenue from xAI subscriptions sold through Telegram. Grok may be sold as a separate subscription.
Privacy
Pavel Durov claims that Telegram will only send Grok the data that the user and their chat partners decide to share. The founder of the messenger did not specify whether xAI has the right to train its models on data received from Telegram users.
Note that these words should not be taken as a long-term guarantee — Telegram has changed its approach to privacy in the past, even after making promises.
What features can we expect?
In his post, Pavel Durov presented a video concept of future features. It is worth noting that in their final forms, the features may not work as shown in the demonstration.
1. Grok pinned for all users (0:02)
It is likely that the bot can be unpinned — there is an “unpin” button displayed in the video.
2. Questions through global search (0:04)
A Grok button will appear in global search, clicking on which sends the search query to the Grok chatbot.
3. Communication in threads (0:08)
Communication with Grok may be done in several threads in parallel, the interface will look similar to forums, but in private with the bot.
4. Editing text before sending (0:12)
Upon selecting text in the message input field and pressing “AI Tools”, you will be offered options to rewrite the text: to “Improve”, “Expand”, or “Change Tone”. The new menu is added right before Formatting options in the floating bar.
5. Chat summarization (0:16)
By holding down the unread message indicator, you may select the “Summarize” option to get a summary of the chat’s unread messages.
The interface also shows a selector for the range of messages the model will have access to, and the tone of the narrative. It may be possible to get a summary not only for unread messages, but also for messages you choose.
6. Document summarization (0:20)
In the context menu of PDF files uploaded to Telegram, you will be able to select the “Summarize” option to get a digest of the text inside, without opening the file.
7. Link summarization (0:24)
If you long press a link in a message and select the “Summarize” option, the chatbot will generate a digest of the Instant View article. The summary text may be listened to as audio.
It is not clear whether this function will be available for links without Instant View.
8. Moderating groups (0:28)
Automated moderation of group chats is shown.
In the example, Grok issues a warning to the user and threatens with a ban for repeated violations. How exactly admins will be able to set rules and control the number of warnings is unclear.
9. Grok in 1-on-1 chats (0:32)
It will be possible to configure the chatbot so that it responds in personal messages on behalf of the user. The video also shows how you will be able to monitor the bot’s responses in real time and a button to intercept control.
10. Fact-checking in channels (0:36)
A “Fact-Check” button will appear in the context menu of messages in channels.
What sources the model will use and how reliable such reviews will be is unknown.
11. Generating stickers (0:40)
The sticker editor will allow you to describe the desired sticker using text to generate new stickers, including video stickers.
12. Generating avatars (0:44)
Similar to stickers, it will be possible to generate avatars for your profile.
In the video, the user asks to change the background of their avatar, while the user’s face is preserved. Perhaps users will be able to not only generate images from scratch, but also ask to edit their own photos.

Telegram Changes The Behavior of Options When Deleting Messages
In the latest versions of Telegram's mobile applications, the behavior of the options "Report spam," "Delete all from...," and "Ban..." has been changed on the screen that group administrators see when deleting messages.
However, the behavior of these options differs between Telegram for Android and Telegram for iOS:
• Telegram for Android now remembers the state of checkboxes for these options when deleting a message and will restore the saved settings the next time a message is deleted.
• The Beta version of Telegram for iOS now always displays the options as enabled.
Some administrators are unhappy with these changes.
Firstly, they were used to all options being disabled by default. Now, they sometimes delete messages and ban users by mistake, simply forgetting to turn off the options that are enabled by default.
Secondly, group administrators do not understand why the app developers assume that if a message was previously deleted along with a complaint and a user ban, the administrator would want to do the same next time.
Which behavior do you prefer? Cast your vote in our poll.
