Из-за сегодняшних событий европейский кластер Telegram столкнулся с беспрецедентной нагрузкой. В результате некоторые пользователи могут наблюдать периодические краткосрочные перебои в работе ряда сервисов Telegram.

Мы понимаем, что сегодня люди как никогда нуждаются в надежной связи с близкими, и делаем все возможное, чтобы сохранить высокую скорость отправки и получения сообщений.

Themed Icon feature on Android 13 only supports the icon in the center, this is what happened if the icon is not in the center.

After researching a little bit of MIUI system framework code(decompiled), trying to find a way to fix the text selection menu on older MIUI, we found out that the text selection menu(or text editor, actually) of MIUI was based on the code of Android 5 even on MIUI that is based on Android 11.
The method of customizing the text selection menu used by Telegram only supports Android 6.0+, this is why it didn't work on MIUI.

This issue was resolved by MIUI 13.
