Viewing private channels. Explanation

Our post about innovations for private channels yesterday raised a lot of questions for both subscribers and channel administrators.

Explain some of the nuances:

1. For the function to work, the channel must have more than 200 subscribers. The function does not work with private chats.

2. After switching to a private channel by invitation link, two additional features are included for five minutes:
a) enter the channel according to the message sent from this channel;
b) go to the channel using links of the form t.me/c/1234567/12345678.

3. If a public chat is tied to a private channel, then the above-mentioned additional features work without clicking on the invitation link and, moreover, work without time limits. So it was before.

4. After 5 minutes the first entrance to the channel via a private link, it cannot be viewed without a subscription, the client will offer to subscribe to it.

5. Your private channels are safe until you share a link to them. Without this link, users can’t go to the repost from the channel

Pavel Durov announced the global digital resistance

On my channel Pavel Durov told that Telegram was ready to lock in April 2018, therefore, been able to effectively fight. In many ways, the victory has become possible due to Digital resistance - thousands of Russian developers, they raise their proxy servers.

As a result, the number of active users Telegram is not only not diminished, but increased by 2 times over the 2 years to 30 million, in proportion to the messenger all over the world.

The technology of bypass is unique and has no analogues in the messengers. In Russia, Telegram is released, and Pavel Durov nadejatsja that is a long time, so now Telegram switches its resources on combating censorship in other countries, such as Iran and China, and asks the proxy holders to focus their efforts on assistance to these countries.

Recall that the proxy Info from Telegram has been working for over 2 years. We actively fought with the locks the years, changed hundreds, if not thousands of IP addresses during this time, and not going to stop. So if in your country there is a problem with access-Telegram - connect the proxy from Telegram Info
