Fullscreen Rich Text Editor, Communities, New GIF Search, and Ephemeral Messages
Telegram for Android and iOS updated to version 12.9, while Telegram Desktop updated to version 7.0. In its July update, Telegram brings a much more extensive variety of text formatting options, communities, and much more:
β’ Advanced Text Editor: Users can now send Rich Formatting messages from the new full-screen text editor. It includes many styling options: headings, tables, lists, quotes, LaTeX math formulas, code blocks, and expandable spoilers. It also allows users to mix photos and videos right in the middle of messages by creating collages or carousel slideshows.
The editor is available underπ Attach βΊ Article. Alternatively, in mobile apps you can tap the β icon above the βSendβ button. The full-screen editor allows users to send messages that are up to 32,768 characters long.
Most of the key features of the full-screen editor are only available to Premium users, although the full-screen UI itself can be used for free.
β’ Communities: Organize communities that bring theme-related chats, channels, or even bots closer together. You can't add big entities, though: Telegram limits chats and channels by their member count. The @tginfo editors are still researching the limitations of this feature.
Make sure not to confuse communities with forums: each chat and channel remains independent, while users can view the list and join each separately.
Community chats can be visible to all members or be hidden, in which case only community admins and the members of the hidden chat can see it. Community chats and channels can merge into a single item in the chat list β this is controlled by the community admins.
β’ Ephemeral messages for bots: Bots and users can now message and reply to each other privately even in the middle of a group chat β such messages are visible only to the specific recipient and the bot that sent them. Ephemeral commands and replies to them are marked with a specialπ crossed-out eye icon.
When a command is ephemeral, the user's initial message remains fully invisible to all members and bots, which allows confidential interactions to take place even in public spaces. Besides, such messages will be invisible if you log into your account from a new device.
β’ Updated GIF Search: The GIF panel now searches across 350 million GIF animations in 36 languages. The search engine works thanks to Telegram's indexing of widely shared, publicly available GIFs using the in-house Cocoon AI project. Alas, Telegram doesn't clarify what βpublicly availableβ entails.
The change was caused by Google shutting down access to its Tenor GIF library. Telegram claims the new GIF search is private and doesn't depend on third-party services, and adds that it works much faster than before.

The .me registry commented on the suspension of the t.me domain
A representative of the .me domain zone administration commented on Twitter about the situation regarding the ban of the t.me domain, which belongs to Telegram:
The .me zone is allocated to the government of Montenegro, but on its behalf, the infrastructure is managed by a joint venture between Identity Digital, GoDaddy, and the local company ME-net.

A representative of the .me domain zone administration commented on Twitter about the situation regarding the ban of the t.me domain, which belongs to Telegram:
The .ME Registry works closely with law enforcement to monitor and mitigate issues across the .ME domain in accordance with applicable laws, including sanctions requirements.As a reminder, on July 13, the .me registry disabled the DNS records for the t.me domain without any public statements from the zone administration or Telegram. On July 14, Identity Digital support explained the ban as compliance with OFAC requirements, and a link to a Telegram channel was found in the service's sanctions lists, which the messenger soon deleted, after which the domain was restored.
On 13 July, First VPN Service (1VPNS) was included as a sanctioned entity by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A Telegram channel using the t.me domain was among 1VPNS identified infrastructure. Accordingly, the t.me domain was suspended.
On 14 July, Telegram provided confirmation that it had removed its links and affiliations with 1VPNS. Once the confirmation was reviewed and verified, the suspension was removed from the t.me domain.
We appreciate Telegramβs prompt cooperation in resolving this matter.
The .me zone is allocated to the government of Montenegro, but on its behalf, the infrastructure is managed by a joint venture between Identity Digital, GoDaddy, and the local company ME-net.

Windows 11 is getting a modern Shut Down Windows dialog. It appears when users choose Shut Down or Restart from the improved Search experience.π
For now, the change applies only in Search. The desktop shortcut still opens the older dialog when users press Alt + F4.

π Microsoft is testing a set of Windows Search improvements for Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel. The update makes search cleaner, easier to use, and more accurate across apps, settings, files, and web results.
The main search page now has a simpler layout, and result labels show more clearly whether an item comes from an app, setting, file, web result, or Microsoft Store offer. Microsoft also removed advertising content from search results, so users see more relevant answers and fewer promotions.
A new setting in Settings > Privacy & Security > Search lets users control whether web results and Microsoft Store suggestions appear with local results. Local items now take priority when they better match a query, and system items like This PC and Recycle Bin should be easier to find.
Microsoft also improved app typo handling, settings ranking, file search, and overall Search stability.

π±Microsoft is working on Windows 11 changes that could make phone integration feel more native to the operating system.
+ Planned updates include a richer Start menu panel for connected phones, a taskbar popup with quick controls such as Do Not Disturb, mute, and Find Device, and drag and drop file sharing to a phone icon.
+ Microsoft is also exploring clipboard history sync between Windows 11 and a smartphone.
+ In addition, the company is developing a standalone Messages app for SMS syncing and quick replies.
These features remain internal prototypes as of this writing.

A postpaid plan customer unknowingly utilized ~150GB of data in 1 day by downloading 2 video games on his laptop. Consequently, Airtel restricted the user's mobile data services and later said that the data consumption was reached "commercial level usage" for the postpaid bill.
