Design Contest 2025: Submissions

New deadline: 23:59 on December 16 (Dubai time)

We will announce separately once we start accepting your works. We are giving you an extra 24 hours to properly prepare your submissions.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Your submissions will have two core parts:

1. A Telegram channel – which must contain:
– A table of contents – a pinned message with navigation links to the content below. It may also include a Figma project link;
– Static mockups (include both Android and iOS with either theme for each platform) – please upload them as compressed images for better accessibility (use the in-app HD resolution). For readability, you may separate them by sections or blocks;
– Your motion demo uploaded as a playable video – it must be the very last message in the channel.

2. An archive – which must contain:
– All static mockups (both day and night themes for Android and iOS) in .png format, properly structured into folders;
– Your motion video in its original resolution;
Optionally, you may also include the source files for your project (e.g., .aep files).

Note: Your channel may stay private until the deadline. Make sure you assign it a username after the deadline while not revoking the original private link you will be submitting. There is no need to upload any archives to the channel. (You will only upload it to the bot – we will share the details later.)

📰 A new "Other: Report by Report ID" complaint option has been added for EU users. 🇪🇺🚨 This complaint option has been added for all EU users due to the requirements of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). This complaint option is intended to be SECONDARY, meaning it can be used to supplement a complaint, challenge a moderation decision, or report that illegal content is still accessible.

🛂 Also, it is intended that a complaint ID must be provided through this complaint option; otherwise, moderation will automatically reject your report. Where to obtain the Report ID is currently unknown.

Official Smart Glocal Support Bot

Some time ago, users discovered the bot @tgpb_support_bot, which has an official verification checkmark and is designed to handle inquiries related to Telegram Premium subscription payments made through @premiumbot.

This bot can be useful for users who have paid for a subscription via @premiumbot but haven’t seen it appear on their accounts.

📰 A week ago, a new service notification from +42777 appeared in case a channel or supergroup was transferred to you. 🏣 This message includes the channel name, username, a hyperlink to the @telegramtips post, and an explanatory note. ⌨️ The most interesting feature is the inline button, which allows you to unsubscribe from the owner's post and return it to the previous owner (EVEN if you haven't fulfilled the conditions for a regular transfer of rights). In this case, the previous owner will receive another service notification about this.
⚠️ Channel Transfer Rejected: {CHANNELNAME}

You recently transferred ownership of channel {CHANNELNAME} @username to {user}.

The user has rejected the transfer, so the channel has been assigned back to you. You are the channel owner again and are responsible for its contents.


This is useful for preventing a setup involving accusations of terrorism (this does happen), or if you don't want to take up unnecessary username slots, or if you're simply not ready to take responsibility for the chat.

#tip:
1. You can view all your chat ownership in TDesktop by right-clicking "My Channels" or "My Groups." You can even use the @WhatIOwnBot bot (from tginfo; API based, method not guaranteed).
2. You can see who owns a channel by opening Administrators or, better yet, Recent Activity.

📰 #tip: How to listen to voice messages without marking them as played?

🎤 All voice messages have a dot indicating that no one has listened to the message. You're probably familiar with the chat preview, which allows you to read text messages, but not voice messages. However, you can listen to them even without reading all the messages. To do this:
1
. Open the chat preview.
2. Click on the avatar to access the chat profile.
3. Open the "Voices" tab.
4. Open the context menu for the desired voice message and forward it to "Saved Messages."
This allows you to listen to the voice message without marking it as «read».

💡 On TDesktop, you can right-click on the desired chat to open the profile.

📰 Two pieces of news about official bots.

1. The @askplex bot has been down for two days now: it doesn't respond to any commands or requests.

2. Official support for Premium Bot is now available, led by Smart Global consultants — @tgpb_support_bot. This will be helpful if Premium Bot services don't appear after payment.
