Power Saving
In the beta version of Telegram for iOS, in the new section “Power Saving”, you can set the battery charge threshold, below which some animations will be automatically disabled for less power consumption.
If the slider is moved to 0%, then the power saving mode will always be disabled. In this case, the animations will remain active.
If the slider is moved to 100%, then the power saving mode will always be on - with all restrictions applied.

Adding Background Audio to Stories, Channel-Based Posting Interface, and Interactive Widget for Quick Reactions
On the Telegram translations platform, @tginfo editors have discovered screenshots of the updated interface for story editing.
The screenshots reveal a dialog box where you can choose to publish a story either as an individual user or on behalf of a channel.
One notable addition is the “Audio” widget, which presumably allows users to select an audio file to play in the background of their story.
Additionally, the edition noted a new emoji widget designed in the shape of a heart in a “cloud”. Its design strongly resembles the interactive widget in Instagram. In Instagram, this tool enables story creators to select emojis to express reactions, and viewers can quickly leave these reactions by simply tapping the widget. It is likely that Telegram’s widget will work similarly.

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).
