Telegram's New Update is Coming

⦁ Gift Collections: You’ll be able to organize and manage digital gifts, with some limits on how many gifts can be sent to a user.
⦁ Premium-Only Gifts: Some special gifts will be exclusive to Premium subscribers.
⦁ Gift Limits: Each gift type might have its own send cap per user.
⦁ Profile Levels: There could soon be profile levels based on how many stars you spend (maybe for bragging rights?).
⦁ Age Verification: To satisfy UK laws, Telegram’s experimenting with age checks via photos (promising not to store them).
⦁ Flexible Premium: Looks like 2-year plans and maybe more flexible Premium options are on the way.
⦁ Translation Models: Old code for local translations got removed.

It is important to note that currently only mentions of these features have been found in the Telegram code, and they have not yet been officially announced, so the final version of the features may undergo some changes.
