Telegram for Android and iOS Updated to Version 11.12

The latest Telegram update brings users the following features:

Direct Messages to Channels
• Channel owners can enable the ability to receive messages from users and set a fee per message: from free to 10,000 stars.
• When a user sends a message, a "Messages" chat is created, resembling a forum. Channel administrators with the "Post Messages" permission can respond to user messages.
• Communication takes place without revealing the contact details of the channel administration.

Ability to Trim Voice Messages
• Users can trim a voice message before sending it. To do this, they need to pause the recording, after which trimming functions for both the beginning and end become available.
• After trimming, users can continue recording the voice message, edit it again if necessary, and then send it.

Forum Topics as Tabs
• Forum administrators can customize the way topics are displayed. Two modes are available: "Tabs" and "List."
• The setting affects the forum’s appearance for all participants.

High-Quality Photos
• When sending an image, users can choose the quality in which the photo will be sent. Two options are available: HD and SD.
• Image quality is preserved when forwarding media files.

Sending Media Files to Stories on iOS
• iOS users can now send photos and videos from other apps directly to the Telegram Stories editor via the "Share" button.
• This simplifies publishing, for example, old photos from the gallery—making them accessible without switching between apps.

12 Answer Options in Polls
• The maximum number of answer options in polls has been increased from 10 to 12.
• Users now have the ability to create polls in "Saved Messages" to forward them to other chats later.
