Telegram for Android, iOS have been updated to version 9.3.
⚠️ Other Telegram clients will receive the new version shortly.
Hidden Media

• In the attachment menu, select one or more items and choose 'Hide with Spoiler'.
Zero Storage Usage
• You can add separate auto-remove settings for cached media from Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – with exceptions for specific chats.
• The new pie charts help visualize what's taking up space, and dedicated tabs for Media, Files and Music let you clear the largest items in just a few taps.
• On iOS, it was greatly reduced the time it takes the app to calculate cache size.
New Drawing and Text Tools
• Telegram's already powerful media editor has been fully redesigned.

• In the coming updates, Telegram plans to further refine the media editor interfaces and improve their performance.
Profile Pictures for Your Contacts
• When editing your contacts, you can choose a picture for them – only you will see it on their profile.
• If you have a good profile picture for your contact, you can suggest it to them. It will take them just two taps to add it to their profile.
• Open a contact's Profile > Edit, then choose 'Set Photo for…' or 'Suggest Photo for…'.
Public Profile Pictures

🌟 New Animated Emojies

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.
