Giveaways in Channels and Free Premium
Starting today, Telegram channel owners can hold giveaways, randomly distributing prizes among subscribers. This is a great way to advertise your channel, attract new audiences, or reward current subscribers.
Thanks to this, millions of users will be able to win a free Telegram Premium subscription and other prizes, and Telegram will guarantee that the winners were chosen fairly.
⚠️ The new features were enabled on the server side, however we recommend that you update your application to the latest version.
Free Telegram Premium subscription
• Channel owners can create a draw and set the conditions for it with just a couple of clicks.
• On the date set by the channel owner, Telegram will randomly select winners from among users who meet the specified criteria.
• Winners receive gift codes, which can serve as a confirmation of winning in the giveaway.
• Each gift code activates a free Telegram Premium subscription, but organizers can add their own rewards to the subscription.
• For each Premium subscription won, the channel automatically receives 4 boosts.
• These boosts cannot be transferred to another channel — they will remain with the organizing channel for the duration of the distributed free Telegram Premium subscriptions.
Creating a giveaway in a channel
• In addition to the number of winners and the duration of the draw, the organizers, if desired, can limit the number of participants only to new channel subscribers or residents of certain countries.
• Additionally, you can specify additional channels that users need to subscribe to in order to participate in the giveaway.
• Channels of any level can organize a giveaway — to do this, just go to Channel Profile > ⋮ or ⋯ > Statistics > Boosts.
How to pay for a Telegram Premium giveaway
• Before the giveaway starts, the organizer must pay for the selected number of Premium subscriptions.
• You can make a payment in any Telegram application — but it's best to use the @PremiumBot bot or the Fragment platform.
• More subscriptions are possible through @PremiumBot, as Google Play and App Store limit the maximum payment amount.
• On the Fragment platform, you can purchase thousands of subscriptions at once (for a large-scale giveaway).
More boosts for Premium users
• Now users who pay for the subscription themselves receive 4 boosts.
• All these boosts can be given to one channel — or distributed among several.
• If you give Telegram Premium to another user, they get 1 boost, and you get 3 additional ones.
• If you get a subscription for winning the giveaway, then all 4 boosts will remain with the organizing channel.

Colorful Calls, Thanos Snap Effect, and an Epic Update for Bots
Telegram's 10th update of 2023 adds improved calls with a colorful new design that use less of your phone's battery, a new vaporize effect when you delete messages, the largest bot update in Telegram's history – and more.
Unmentioned New Features on Telegram
On December 31, in their official blog, Telegram representatives hinted at the presence of several innovations, which they promised to talk about in January. Some of these features have already appeared in stable versions of applications.
1. Self-destructing voice messages
Telegram users now have the option to send a voice message that will be automatically deleted after the recipient listens to it.
• This message can only be sent in a personal chat.
• This message cannot be forwarded or recorded.
• If the recipient has started listening to a message, it will be deleted as soon as they finish listening to it or close the playback screen.
• In older versions of Telegram, such a voice message is displayed as “unsupported”.
Whether this feature will be implemented for video messages is unknown.
2. Updated the Saved Messages chat
Some users can now view the Saved Messages as Sections.
• To switch to section mode, you need to open the Saved Messages chat and click on its title.
• The list of sections is generated automatically by the application: each section corresponds to a separate chat from which messages were previously forwarded to the Saved Messages. In this case, messages sent to the Saved Messages by the user itself are displayed in the “My Notes” section, and messages from users who have prohibited linking their account when forwarding are stored in the “Author Hidden” section.
• Sections are sorted by the date of the last message forwarded from a given chat to the Saved Messages.
• Sections can be pinned, and pinned sections can be arranged in a convenient order.
• When you go to any section, the application displays all messages forwarded from the corresponding chat. Next to each message there is an icon to go to the original message, and at the bottom of the screen there is a button to go to the chat itself.
• In profiles of chats and channels from which at least one message was forwarded to the Saved Messages, the “Saved Messages” tab is now available. It displays all messages forwarded to Saved Messages from this chat.
⚠️ Attention: Currently only some users have these functions. The editors have no information about when they will become available to everyone.
3. Tags in Saved Messages chat on iOS
In one of the versions of the application for iOS, users could mark messages in the Saved Messages chat with reactions in order to quickly find all messages for any of them in the future. Thus, the reactions in this chat were supposed to function as tags.
However, the search for messages based on their reactions did not become available. In addition, in a subsequent update, references to the ability to sort messages based on reactions also disappeared from the interface.
