In the new Telegram Beta for Android v12.10.4 (7093), the quality of video messages has been improved.

Video messages are now recorded at 480×480 instead of the previous 384×384, at 30 FPS.

Improvements to Video Messaging on Android

In the beta version of Telegram for Android for the upcoming 12.10.4 update, a new section called "Round Video (Experimental)" has been added to the settings.

That page includes several experimental features that allow you to set the focus and smoothness of video messages recorded using the modern Camera2 API:

• Output resolution: 360p / 480p.
• Camera resolution: Low / Medium / High.
• Frame rate: 30 FPS / 60 FPS.
• Video bitrate: 750 kbps / 1 Mbps / 1.5 Mbps / 2 Mbps.

⚠️ Please note: Telegram notes that 60 FPS is used only if both the front and back cameras on the device support this frame rate. Otherwise, recording automatically switches to 30 frames per second.

In addition, users can disable the app's custom styling for downloaded video messages. In that case, the recorded "circle" will be saved to the device as an uncropped square, without any blurring or darkening around the borders and without the Telegram logo.

⚠️ Please note: This option does not alter the appearance of video messages that are sent to chats; the "circles" within the messenger remain circular regardless of whether you have disabled their stylization during the download process.

UPD: The messenger remembers the user's last selection and starts recording the next video message using the same camera that was used to record the previous video. This avoids the need to constantly switch between the front camera and the back camera when you start taking new "circles."

This settings section probably won't be in stable versions of Telegram. It will only be in the beta version while the features are being tested.

A new ignore_restriction_reasons parameter has appeared in the test AppConfig.

It now contains two restriction reasons that the client should ignore:
× sensitive
× porn

This is directly related to restrictionReason. If the reason in a restriction matches a value from ignore_restriction_reasons, the client ignores that restriction.

This means content with restrictionReason porn or sensitive, which was previously blocked at the client level, will likely no longer be blocked due to this restriction when this config is enabled.

The import requirements for the built-in Gram Wallet have been changed.

You can now import a Recovery Phrase only if it was created in Telegram. This means you won't be able to import any existing wallet into Telegram, only a wallet that was previously created in Telegram.

A new field for calculating the network fee has also been added to the transfer window.

Telegram Beta for iOS v12.10.0 (34963)
@telelakel | #new_tgbeta

In the new Telegram Beta for Android v12.10.4 (7095), a new «Round Video (Experimental)» tab has been added, featuring experimental settings for recording round video messages.

In the Recorder section, you can configure:
× Use Camera2 recorder: record using the modern Android Camera2 API
× Output resolution: 360p or 480p
× Camera resolution: High, Medium, or Low
× Frame rate: 30 or 60 FPS
× Video bitrate: from 750 kbps to 2 Mbps

60 FPS is available only if both the front and rear cameras support this frame rate. Otherwise, recording automatically switches to 30 FPS.

A Round video styling toggle has also been added to the Composition section. When disabled, video messages are recorded in a square format — without the standard round cropping, background blur, or Telegram graphic elements.

UPD: These settings will not be included in the stable version and will remain exclusive to the Beta version.

UPD2: Added to debug menu
