When I emailed support@perplexity.ai to investigate, Sam, one of the support agents, informed you that the AI had ceased support. This was before the release of the "streaming response generation" feature.

When I first subscribed to a paid channel in 2024, paying for stars to access the channel, I also joined a linked group to read the comments on the posts. After a month, like the average Telegram user, I ran out of 50 stars for monthly access to the channel. However, I stayed in the group that served to access the comments in paid posts. Here I realized that since these chats are linked, I could freely access the channel without paying for stars, and that I could then re-join the same channel.
Now #tips for content creators: Anyone who wants to engage in paid channels should definitely not enable comments, or more precisely, not link discussion groups. Otherwise, subscribers won't pay for access to the channel a second time. Also, don't forget to enable protection against copying/reposts/screenshots (there's no 100% protection). This way, you'll make the channel on par with Patreon pages.
I also created this card so that developers can see this problem.

Telegram Tests "Gift Crafting": Casino Mechanics and Asset Burning
A new feature for gifts called "crafting" has been discovered in Telegram's code. The concept is simple: users will be able to combine multiple gifts into one to obtain a rarer item.
@tginfo summarizes the mechanics found by teleLakel:
• Risk of losing everything. The main feature is that the process does not guarantee success. Selected gifts may simply "burn". When combining two gifts, the chance of losing them is highest; with four, the risk is lower but still present.
• Merging. You can use up to 4 gifts for crafting. The resulting item will inherit the ID of the first selected gift (e.g., if you select gifts in the order [100, 50, 200], the new gift will receive #100).
• Color inheritance. If you combine 4 gifts of the same color, the result is guaranteed to have that same color. In other cases, attributes are rolled randomly.
• Irreversibility. Gifts created this way cannot be used for crafting again.
• Incompatibility with NFTs. teleLakel speculates that gifts previously minted on the TON blockchain as NFTs might be incompatible with the new mechanics.
Why is this needed?
Effectively, Telegram is introducing a gambling element. Users will face a choice: keep what they have or risk their assets for a chance to get a unique model.
From a market perspective, this is a classic way to drive up prices. "Consumable" gifts will be burned in large quantities, their total supply will decrease, meaning remaining and newly created items could increase in value.
The feature is not yet functional and may change by release. Crafting could become paid, the logic might change, or additional restrictions could be applied.
Previously, the @tginfo team discovered that the Telegram team is working on a gambling game, Emoji Stake, which allows betting on dice rolls. The messenger team also introduced an auction system for gifts, allowing Telegram to sell new models for the maximum price offered by the market.
@tginfo Editors Opinion: Untimely Gambling
Introducing blatant gambling mechanics in early 2026 seems like a highly risky move. Telegram is going against the trend of platforms striving for regulatory compliance.
• Brazil. Starting in March, a ban on selling lootboxes to children comes into effect. A local court has previously blocked Telegram, and repeated disregard for laws could cost the messenger this market.
• EU and Australia. The European Union is preparing laws against "addictive design," while in Australia, such mechanics automatically assign an "18+" rating to the app, threatening removal from public access in app stores.

Premium Subscription Is Now Sufficient for Sending Custom Emojis in Bots
Bot developers have noticed that Telegram has changed the logic regarding premium emojis in bots. Previously, a bot could send custom emojis only if it had an NFT username linked to it. Initially, linking such a username cost 5,000 TON, and later the price was reduced to 1,000 TON.
How it works now:
• If a bot is created on an account with a Telegram Premium subscription, it can send premium emojis in messages.
• If the account owner does not have Premium, the bot cannot use premium emojis.
• The feature is tied specifically to the account owner, not to the bot having an NFT username.
Important details:
• Premium emojis do not work in the bot's inline mode.
• Bots can't leave custom reactions (except in cases mentioned in Bot API documentation).
• Bots without an NFT username can't send custom emoji to channels.
• The Telegram team has not yet commented on the change — this behavior may change.
UPD. 23:15 UTC: Added a clarification that bots can't send custom emoji to channels.

Passkey Notifications
Adding a crucial behavior that was absent at the launch of the feature, when a new passkey is added to your account, Telegram now sends out a notification to all your signed in devices — just like the one you get when you add a new device.
Previously, the lack of these notifications posed a security threat: attackers could silently add their passkeys to anyone's account.
The notifications will include the following information:
• Passkey provider (for example:🔒 Apple Passwords).
• Device details: app version, phone model, and OS.
• Location from which the passkey was added.
• Instructions for listing active sessions.
Important security considerations
• Also when deleting a passkey, the user will receive a notification to all its signed in devices.
• When all active sessions are terminated via «Settings › Devices», recently created access keys are automatically deleted along with the sessions. A notification about their deletions is sent afterwards.
• It's only possible to add passkeys 24 hours after signing in.

Posting Stories Becomes Available to All Users
This evening, Telegram enabled the ability to post Stories without a Premium subscription for all users — including accounts associated with Iranian, Russian and Ukrainian phone numbers.
At the same time, some users report that they still cannot post Stories without a subscription. The @tginfo editorial team suggests that access to the feature is being rolled out gradually.
Within a 24-hour period, a user can post only one Story under their own name. To increase this limit to up to 100 Stories per day, a Premium subscription is required.
Note that some options in the Story editor remain Premium-only, such as adding a link sticker and choosing the story duration.
