🔎 Search on Telegram is more powerful than in other messaging apps because it allows users to find public channels and bots. Unfortunately, this feature has been abused by people who violated our Terms of Service to sell illegal goods.

💪 Over the last few weeks, a dedicated team of moderators, leveraging AI, has made Telegram Search much safer. All the problematic content we identified in Search is no longer accessible. If you still manage to find something unsafe or illegal in Telegram Search, please report it to us via @SearchReport.

🚫 To further deter criminals from abusing Telegram Search, we have updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, ensuring they are consistent across the world. We’ve made it clear that the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules can be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests.

☝️ These measures should discourage criminals. Telegram Search is meant for finding friends and discovering news, not for promoting illegal goods. We won't let bad actors jeopardize the integrity of our platform for almost a billion users.

⭐️ The @Major mini app is one of my favorite success stories in the Telegram ecosystem. Launched by @Roxman, a 27-year-old entrepreneur, Major earned over $10 million in revenue and gained 70 million users in just 5 months 📈

⭐️ I like Major because it’s quick to adopt the new possibilities of the mini app platform and adds features that feel like they naturally belong in Telegram. And I like @Roxman, who I’ve followed since before he launched @Fabrika and @Major 🤝

🫴 Roxman generously donated 1% of $MAJOR tokens to me, which I won’t be selling for the next 10 years. I hear the Major team has many innovations in the pipeline (like username NFT rentals and digital IDs). And tomorrow is a big day for them — their $MAJOR token is getting listed on six big exchanges 📆

⭐️ Let’s wish them good luck! 💫

🤝 The Affiliate Platform we launched this month is an instant hit. Its goal is to let users and channels earn Stars by inviting people to mini apps. In just 12 days, 15,000 affiliate programs were created, and 4 million users got referred to mini apps 📈

😇 The Affiliate Platform gives channels and mini apps what they need most: channel owners earn revenue, while mini app developers gain new users. Unlike similar systems, Telegram's Affiliate Platform is transparent and guarantees instant commissions each time a referred user makes a transaction in a mini app🪙

😺 Above all, it’s simple. Anyone can start or join an affiliate program on Telegram. You can view existing affiliate programs in “My Stars” in Settings (choose “Earn Stars”). Or just check out what it looks like in the video below 🍿

🔉 Meanwhile, all Western media Telegram channels remain freely accessible in Russia 🇷🇺

🤔 Who would have thought that in 2025 Russian Telegram users would enjoy more freedom than European? ❓
