Ability to create quote blocks
In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS, along with already existing types of text formatting, you can now manually create special blocks of quotes in messages.
You can add several blocks of quotes at once in any part of the typed message: at the beginning, between paragraphs, and at the end of the text.
In addition, you can further format the text inside quote blocks by making it bold or italic, for example.

You can move between the “Update Quote” preview screens (to change the quotation fragment) and the “Link Preview” (to customize the appearance of the link preview block) by swiping left or right, or by clicking on the names of the tabs at the bottom of the screen.

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).
