Log in to Telegram via Passkeys Without Codes or Phone Numbers
In the future, Telegram plans to introduce authentication via Passkeys. The first signs of this feature have appeared in the Beta version of Telegram for Android 12.2.8.
The key advantage of Passkeys is the ability to log into your account without entering a phone number or a one-time code. This distinguishes it from logging in via email or Google / Apple ID, which serve merely as alternatives to receiving an SMS code.
A “log in using passkey” button has appeared on the app's login screen. Tapping it launches your password manager, which verifies your identity using Face ID, fingerprint, or your screen lock PIN. From it, the messenger receives your signature, which functions as your login, password, and one-time confirmation code all simultaneously.
Much like email login, this new feature will need to be pre-configured in Telegram’s security settings. The key will be saved on the phone where it was created, but it can be synced with other devices via Google Password Manager, iCloud Passwords, or other applications.
Why is this important?
• Reduced reliance on SMS: This makes logging in possible even if you don’t have active sessions and your mobile operator is blocking SMS messages from Telegram.
• Security: The Passkey is stored in a secure enclave of your password manager—it cannot be intercepted or entered on a phishing site.
• Speed: Login is performed with a single touch via biometrics (face or fingerprint). When you switch phones, the Passkey automatically syncs via your password manager using your Google account or Apple ID.
The feature is currently under development and is not yet fully functional. Stay tuned for news about Telegram Beta versions on our Beta Info channel.

Telegram tends to simply add new features without sustaining them for the sake of being the "most feature-rich" app, which is why even visually impaired users suffer.
Telegram has also added TalkBack, its Android counterpart. Are there any issues with it as well? This remains an open question.

Prize fund: $50,000 or more
Deadline: 23:59 Dubai time @ December 15, 2025
Who can participate: Everyone
THE TASK
Design a concept for Telegram Nodes entirely from the ground up, while preserving the familiar components of Telegram’s interfaces. It must feel seamless and aesthetically compelling while remaining clear and intuitive for users.
Nodes act as separate instances within the app that help users organize and streamline their communication flows – from personal to work. Nodes go far beyond simple chat folders or groups with topics enabled.
You may think of them as Discord-like servers or Slack-style workspaces that can contain multiple chat types, including voice and video chats, support in-depth admin management and user roles.
Users who join Telegram Nodes can set a profile picture, bio, and name that differ from their main account. They can then switch between Nodes and their main Telegram inbox – for example, via the left-side menu, which lists all their Nodes alongside any other Telegram accounts they’re logged into.
Your submissions must include:
1. A complete set of mockups for both the Android and iOS versions of the Telegram app.
2. A demo video for either platform in the same manner as the demonstrations from the Telegram Blog.
CORE REQUIREMENTS
• Clarity and usefulness are mandatory – everything must feel immediately understandable to users, leaving no room for confusion.
• Thoughtful feature engineering – the design should reflect an implementation-ready concept.
• All sides must be considered – you must deliver both the user and admin flows.
• A well-thought entry point and clear Nodes management are essential.
• Support for both day and night themes is mandatory.
Submission Format:
1) The layouts can be implemented as static .png files. For the animation demos, use .mp4 format (without sound).
Source files and properly structured Figma projects are also welcome.
2) For included videos, you must also provide several static .png images from each video that serve as a storyboard.
3) If you use complex animated icons, they must be in lottie json or .tgs format.
Further submission instructions will be announced closer to the deadline.

THE TASK
Implement custom versions of some of the Liquid Glass effects and the relevant interface flows into Telegram for iOS so these appearances work on iOS 18 and older.
You must precisely replicate the animations and look and feel (highlight on tap, scale-up, bounce, and stretching) on the glass elements. This applies in particular to:
– The tab bar
Omit background blur behind the bar itself, while preserving the glass lenses’ ability to blur the bar’s own content.
– Buttons
This includes attach menu icon, voice and video message recording buttons, etc.
– Switches and sliders
Only the moving element itself should apply blur.
Contest Requirements:
– Support for iOS 18 is mandatory.
– No third-party UI frameworks or new dependencies are allowed.
– The submission must be consistent with the existing Telegram for iOS codebase. You may reuse what is already included in the app's codebase.
– Changes must not negatively affect performance, memory usage, or app stability.
Evaluation:
During the evaluation stage, submissions will be tested on a broad range of devices and iOS versions (13-26). In addition to aesthetic accuracy and appeal, we will evaluate:
– Performance;
– Memory consumption;
– Battery impact.
Submissions:
We will announce detailed submission instructions closer to the deadline. The final submission must be your implementation integrated into Telegram for iOS, not a standalone demo app.

🎤 This was reported by the media outlet "Ostorozhno Media", which is run by Ksenia Sobchak. The politician responded that it is due to cooperation with local special services and law enforcement agencies, especially when it comes to American IT, where it «is used to analyze information both about industrial-commercial espionage and a certain cross-section of the state of our [Russian] society».
👮♂️ But Telegram, attention, actively «cooperates» with Roskomnadzor and the Russian authorities, so its blocking is not expected.
As for Telegram, I think that Telegram will not be blocked for now because the management of the Telegram company interacts with our law enforcement agencies, with Roskomnadzor. And here, I think, we can still use Telegram quite calmly for some considerable time.

These images have always been there: fathers and sons. There's nothing new here. <…> But you know what's new? Technology. All these messengers—Telegram and so on—are used to somehow influence the youth environment.
Young people are always more mobile, more radical; they always feel like they're facing an injustice that no one has ever faced before. <…> When a person gets older and tries to change something, it suddenly becomes clear that a solution can be found, but it's not as simple as it seemed at first glance. We need to talk to young people; we can't just say, "Look, you're so young, you don't understand anything, you're just sitting at home behind the wall." That's not right either. We need to be in constant contact with young people and use their tools, their apparatus, using those same modern means of communicating information to them, feedback, and social media. We need to work there.
