Telegram is Preparing to Launch a Store for Bots and Mini Apps
Pavel Durov recently shared plans to develop a platform for bot and mini-app developers.
According to Durov, the recently introduced payment system "Stars" is not only beneficial for developers but also complies with Apple and Google rules. Therefore, Telegram plans to recommend bots and mini-apps that accept star payments in appropriate sections of the apps.
As an example of such recommendations, the founder of Telegram mentioned the "AI" section in the upcoming mini-app store. This section could be displayed to business representatives who add bots for handling customer feedback, as well as bots that assist users with the official sticker editor.

Standard Privacy Policy for bots
In early July, all bots and mini apps were required to provide a Privacy Policy detailing how they handle user data.
Yesterday, Telegram published a Standard Privacy Policy which applies by default to all bots and mini apps that don't have their own. This Policy broadly covers the data handling practices of most apps on Telegram, simplifying compliance for developers and adding transparency for users.
Additionally, developers can now set their own Privacy Policy directly within @BotFather bot. This Policy will be available to users through a special button in the settings menu of their mini apps.
More information can be found in Section 4 of the Bot Developer Terms.
