📰 Literally ALL USERS got the opportunity to publish stories! 🥳 For users from specific countries, namely Russia (+7), Ukraine (+380), Indonesia (+62), Iran (+98) and India (+91), it is not necessary to have Telegram Premium in order to create your stories both on your profiles and on channels/groups from level 1.

❤️ It is important to note that without a Premium subscription, the limit is strictly limited - for example, 1 story in 24 hours.

📰 Three gifts have received wallpaper support, meaning they can be used as unique wallpapers for your PMs. Recently added: 🎁🎁🎁. Previously, only the following were supported: 🎁🎁🎁🎁.

UPD: The wallpaper used by 🎁🎁 is broken on Android client. These same gifts can also be used to decorate reply boxes [color names].

📰 References to a new API support were found in the MTProto source code, which supports colored inline buttons along with premium emoji support. There will be three colors: 💙blue (bg_primary), ❤️red (bg_danger) and 💚green (bg_success). Premium emoji in inline buttons won't require a costly username, only a premium subscription for the bot owner.

🤖 These new features can be found in both the Android and iOS clients; beta version 12.4.

📰 This is what colored inline buttons with premium emoji look like.

📰 @durovs_code published an exclusive report revealing the true reason why the Telegram x Grok collaboration failed. 🤖🔒 Briefly, according to sources close to the negotiations, Durov and Musk reached an impasse over user privacy. 🔑
Furthermore, Grok wasn't the only candidate for the collaboration, for example, there was Perplexity.
It's also known why Telegram found it more profitable to create its own AI network, "COCOON", in terms of both finances and privacy.
