Passkeys, Gift Purchase Offers and More

Telegram for Android has been updated to version 12.2.10, and Telegram for iOS to version 12.2.4. Here is what is new in this release:

Passkeys: You can now create a Passkey on your device. It allows you to instantly log in to Telegram using a PIN or biometric data (fingerprint or Face ID). This makes signing in accessible even when you have no active sessions, no cellular service, or when SMS delivery from Telegram is blocked by carriers.

The @tginfo team has prepared a detailed guide and FAQ regarding the Passkeys feature. We've also developed troubleshooting steps for common problems with Passkeys on Android.


Gift Purchase Offers: When viewing gifts in a user's profile, you can now offer to buy a gift you like from the owner, but for no less than 125 Stars or 1.1 TON. You set the price and duration of the offer yourself, and the amount is reserved for the validity period of the offer.

Extended Audio Selection in Stories: Now, when creating a story, you can use music from your Saved Music playlist, as well as from recently sent audio files in your chats.

Other additions:
• View all attributes of collectible gifts.
• Channel settings now allow restricting which administrators can ban users.
Note: the extended Liquid Glass redesign from the Beta version is not active in this release.

To generate such excerpts, open-source models running on the decentralized Cocoon network are used.

Other New Features:
The button for adding media to drafts has been moved on Android.
