Channel Stories, Boosts, and Levels — How Do They Work?
Telegram adds stories for channels and introduces a complex mechanic. We answer the questions and explain the channel boost system.
Be careful if asked to change your account info
If you were offered to change your account settings, such as bio, name, or profile photo, in return for premium subscription, immediately refuse it.
Telegram continues to promptly delete accounts that seek to look like official ones — for example, if an account has the Telegram logo as their profile photo, or the support account phone number in their bio, it might get deleted.
There is an increased number of reports regarding this issue.
In the past, Telegram has already deleted accounts with names or usernames that had the words “Saved Messages” or “Telegram” in them.

Programming Language Classifier by Telegram
Today Telegram announced a new contest to create a library for programming language detection using Machine Learning algorithms. Almost simultaneously, Telegram Desktop repository was updated to add hints on the ongoing work to add programming language syntax highlighting. The @tginfo team connects these events and speculates that Telegram is probably working on automatic code highlighting in messages.
There are existing libraries for automatic programming language detection, but all of them are making mistakes often enough.
Such highlighting is not really needed in all messages, and attempts to do it automatically adds unpredictability, which not everyone will be happy about: “Will Telegram decide to mistakenly highlight this segment of monospace text?” or “Will the programming language be detected correctly?”
The @tginfo editors hope the messenger will give choice to either use the automatic language detection or not. Besides that, we're curious about the quality of the solutions that will be developed by the ML engineers in a 10 day deadline set by the contest.
The Telegram API has an option to declare the programming language for a code block since its early days, but almost none of the official apps implement that in the UI, with the exception of Telegram WebA.
In Telegram WebA you can declare a code block with a specified programming language for syntax highlighting the following way:
Syntax highlighting works only in Telegram WebA and some unofficial apps.
Do you think you need automatic programming language detection for syntax highlighting, or you'd prefer doing it manually?

```js
console.log(123 + "Text");
```
For example, in Nekogram, an unofficial Telegram client for Android, you can create a monospace fragment by either “Mono” or “Code” formats. The “Code” option allows to manually select appropriate language for syntax highlighting while also giving you an option to not use highlighting at all.Syntax highlighting works only in Telegram WebA and some unofficial apps.

Telegram Increased Cooldown Time to Reactivate Stealth Mode in Stories
According to the changes in Telegram's configuration files, tracked by @tgcrawl, the minimal time interval between reactivations of Stealth mode for stories was increased from one hour to three hours.
The countdown starts from the moment the user taps the button to activate the mode. Because of this, after the Stealth mode expires, you will have to wait for at least 2 hours and 35 minutes before you will be able to activate it again.
The Stealth mode was introduced by Telegram in August and is available only to Telegram Premium subscribers. When activated, it hides you from the views list in stories you viewed for the first time in last 5 minutes, and continues to hide you from the viewers list during next 25 minutes.
It's important to remember that if you leave a reaction or a reply under a story, the story author will see your name even if you have Stealth mode active.

Clarification on the law of digital services Previously, we wrote that, due to the size of the audience, Telegram is not subject to Digital Services Act (DSA). It is important to point out that the law has its own requirements for different organizations.…
Telegram Is Obligated to Assign a Representative in the EU
“Telegram is not a very large online platform, designated as such, and therefore DSA applies to Telegram as of the 17th of February 2024, this is the date when they will indeed, by which they need indeed to nominate a legal representative”, — Johannes Bahrke stated in response to a question from Oliver Grimm, a correspondent from an Austrian newspaper Die Presse. Oliver is concerned by violence, hate speech, and disinformation content found on Telegram and TikTok.
If a platform doesn't comply with the Act in time, the European Commission may fine it with up to 6% of its annual turnover. In extreme cases, it can even ban the platform in the EU.
This requirement is a part of EU's Digital Services Act, which was already enforced for large social media this August. The law improves the regulation of social networks and search engines in instances where users post illegal content. The Act requires platforms to combat unlawful content and hate speech, while also protects platforms from liability if they moderate the content responsibly.
The DSA doesn't force the platforms to remove unwanted content automatically, but demands the social networks to properly moderate it by any possible means and report their methods and results back to the government.

Telegram Statistics Outages
Our followers report that the stats were unstable for the last couple of days.
Sometimes the stats screen keeps loading indefinitely, and sometimes it opens, but displays incorrect or incomplete data: for example, counters for new and leaving subscribers for the last 24 hours show zeros instead of actual figures.
In recent months stats failures have become almost commonplace for administrators: long-lasting outages in the statistics engine were observed on the 20th of July and on the 30th of September

Mentions of Telegram Premium Giveaways Functionality on Fragment
@tginfo noticed Telegram Premium giveaways functionality added to Fragment.com's codebase. The change was detected thanks to @tgcrawl's automated analysis. Earlier we've already reported about this feature surfacing in Telegram for macOS localization files.
The Fragment platform is considered to be Telegram's partner, designated to provide an option to buy Telegram's Premium subscription, usernames, and anonymous numbers using TON cryptocurrency. All the services can be paid for using QR codes, which are supposed to be scanned in the Tonkeeper wallet.
Other noteworthy mentions in the code
• Ability to specify the number of subscriptions.
• Ability to specify the number of months — probably for Premium duration.
• There's a possible fee for the giveaway functionality.
• You can find Premium recipients using search.
• The UI has mentions for boosts, but their context is unclear.
It's important to keep in mind that the provided info is a set of assumptions based off the Fragment's code that surfaced, so the functionality may be significantly different on its release. At the moment of writing, the mentioned code was already removed.

Telegram Is Working On Citations
The @tginfo editors noticed ongoing work on citations on multiple occasions. This might indicate the feature will appear in future updates.
The Telegram API contains support for quote blocks since 2019, but it never was used in the official apps.
What tells us the feature is being prepared
• Telegram changed the API related to citations, moving it to an unpublished yet Layer 166.
• The Telegram for Android banner from the website shows a screenshot with a different replies UI. In particular, you can see the ❞ icon on one of the messages.
We speculate that in one of the future updates the messenger will provide options to manually create citation blocks in any parts of your messages, reply to the selected part of a message. These features might bring ability to, for example, reply to a message in a different chat by citing it.
Keep in mind that all the info here is a set of speculations and that there was no official announcement for the feature. Thus, the features may change drastically on release.

Replies 2.0, Flexible Link Settings, Personal Colors and Much More
Telegram for Android has been updated to version 10.2.
⚠️ Other Telegram clients will receive the new version soon. The update will likely be rolled out to users gradually.
⭐ Personal colors
• To highlight the individuality of the account, Premium users can choose a personal color or a combination of several colors.
• This color will be used for your name in all groups, as well as the links you send and quotes from your messages in replies.
• You can also choose any adaptive emoji that will be displayed in the background of replies to your messages.
• To set or change your personal color, go to Settings > Chat Settings > Change Name Color (Android) or Settings > Appearance > Name Color (iOS).
• These settings are also available to channels that have reached level 5 or higher by collecting a sufficient number of boosts from subscribers.
Replies 2.0
• Now, when replying, you can quote a certain part of the interlocutor’s message.
• When navigating from a reply, the quoted text in the original message will be beautifully highlighted.
• To quote part of a message, just click on the original message (on iOS - press and hold the message with your finger), highlight the desired text and select “Quote”.
• Replies can also be sent to other chats - for example, if you want to reply to someone privately or move the discussion to another group or channel.
• Clicking on quoted text will open the original message in the chat in which it was posted (if the user has access to it).
• To send a reply to a message in another chat, just click on the panel above the text input field, select the “Reply in another chat” option from the menu and find the desired chat.
Quotes in the text of messages
• In addition to directly quoting other users, you can also format any text as a quotation.
• You can add several quoted fragments to one message at once.
• You can further format the text within quote blocks by making it bold or italic, for example.
