When did Telegram change their policy with account deletion?
Situation:There is an active account created with a number that they no longer own.Current owner of the number initiates account deletionIt used to be that in this situation, the active account would get a message from Telegram saying that they have 1 week to move the account to a new number.But now it looks like you can just immediately initiate account deletion. Does anyone know when this changed?

How do people make bots without 'bot' in their username?
There are some of bots that dont have 'bot' at the end of their handle, like @pic, @gamee, @like, etc.How do people create such bots? Do you need to pass some sort of a verification?

Don't you find annoying bots ask to join a channel to use them?
Seems now many of the bots I use ask me to join a channel to follow, the bot only works when you already join the channel and confirm in the bot. Durov gave hints of ads for groups and channels, hope that would really stop this trend of bots of sending unrelated ads and join other channel to work.
