In the Beta version of Telegram for Android, administrators can now choose one of the available colors for their channel name to be shown in posted messages.
In addition, Telegram allows you to customize areas of replies to channel messages by setting a background icon. This feature is available only to administrators with the right to edit the channel profile.
We explained more about how these features work in this post.
To unlock these features, a channel needs to reach level 1. To do so, it needs to collect the required number of boosts from Premium users.
UPD. Now, channels need boost Level 5 to change their name and quote’s color. This may change when the feature will be released.

Telegram Premium giveaways among channel subscribers
In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS, channel administrators now have the opportunity to hold giveaways in which the prize is Telegram Premium. In this case, the winners are selected randomly among those channel subscribers who meet the conditions of the giveaway.
The following settings are available to the administrator:
• Setting the number of subscriptions.
• Selection of channels to which the user needs to subscribe in order to take part in the competition.
• Selection of who can participate: all subscribers or only new ones, as well as a selection by country.
• Competition end date.
• Select a subscription plan for the drawing: for 3, 6 or 12 months.
To start a giveaway in a channel, the administrator must purchase the desired number of Premium subscriptions, which will be distributed among the winners.
In addition, the channel administrator can gift Telegram Premium to specific channel subscribers.
The @betainfoen team assumes that at the end of the giveaway the organizing channel will receive 4 additional boosts for each Telegram Premium issued (this value may change by the time of release).
