"Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees." is what Telegram claimed. Now we know how long "forever" is. :| I discovered how Telegram quickly replaces text in the welcome screens after going online with an older version from before paid Premium was introduced.
After restoring a backup on my latest phone which I had sent out for repair under warranty (swollen battery, bring back removable batteries) apparently the Telegram data wasn't included in the backup so it started as if freshly installed.When swiping through the welcome screens I noticed that phrase "Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees." on one of those screens.Yeah, right, I thought. Let me grab that. But after activating a helper app for screenshots I couldn't find that text anymore. Knowing I had seen it I realised it had to have been replaced with a version quickly (and sneakily) pulled from the Telegram servers even before I had entered anything in the app.So I force closed and deleted all data. I went offline and started Telegram again. Now that text was back and I could grab it. After that I went online again and soon it was replaced again.Here are the screenshots.'Old'​Previuos text as was included in app version 8.7.4​'New'​The new text that likely is in newer versions of the app.​I understand running Telegram costs money and whatever was donated as capital might not be enough forever. The extra Premium features are so far pretty 'cosmetic'. Will it stay that way? I wouldn't mind a small yearly fee to cover expenses, with an option to 'sponsor' users in poorer parts of the world. Although that become less appealing if you, for good reasons, have more than one account. The current Premium fee is way too high as a standard fee. It's more a way to have a smaller group of people support them financially.We'll see how it goes. If a smaller group decides to help fund Telegram and for the rest it remains a feature-rich chat app for free it might not be a bad thing. I would object to a few people getting 'rich', because that was not supposed to happen.

I'm frustrated with the automatic posting
When I remove members from groups it notifies the group with an automatic post that I have to "delete for everyone"Some of my groups DON'T automatically post the removal.What's happening here, why do some post and some don't?I want to remove people with our telling everyone I removed them.

Free host for Telegram bot with static files
I developed a Telegram bot that parses a GTFS transit feed to serve users with realtime train schedules. Once a day, the bot downloads and stores in a local folder ~100 MB worth of static files.After trying to host it with Heruku, I found out that the Heroku filesystem is ephemeral - that means that any changes to the filesystem whilst the dyno is running only last until that dyno is shut down or restarted.What are the alternatives for hosting such a telegram bot for free?

Chess board recognition bot
This bot was intended to be an experiment with CV and ML in Python but eventually I realized that it could be helpful for people.It accepts an image of a chess board with pieces on it, tries to recognize it and returns FEN notation of position which can be then analyzed in any chess engine (even online using lichess.org).The bot is very slow now it is located on a slow hosting and requires optimization, however it works pretty fast and precise on standard 2d board images with the standard set of pieces. Please avoid sending anything except 2d computer generated board images to it. Bot won't recognize them anyway and you will slow it down for other users.Bot link: https://t.me/ChesscakeBotPlease not that this is a first alpha version bugs are very probable and any feedback is appreciated.

Anonymous spammers
Hi, is there a way to deal with channel-spammers who delete their channels right after they've dumped their bs. I know that if I ban a normal user whose identity is being covered with a channel it won't be allowed to write on channel's behalf anymore. But it only works if he owns the channel (didn't delete) at the time I ban him. Otherwise he can create a new channel and proceed to post spam as if nothing has happened.Also he will be able to delete messages posted from his deleted channel.

how to get user ID of anyone who joins with a specific invite link
I have a bot which, among other things, creates single use telegram invite links and sends them to people who meet certain requirements to join a group.The bot should also be able to kick users who no longer meet those requirements.However, in order to kick users I need to be able to see who the user is, and the only thing I have to go off of is the unique link that was created.I know that a user can do this with the GetChatInviteImporters method, but I dont want people using the bot to have to add me as an admin for each group.is there any work around to allow a bot to get this information?​edit: I tried making a user bot to replace the standard bot, but telegram deleted it quickly.

How do you delete location based group?
I was just messing around with the feature and noticed that I can move the location to anywhere on the map... So I created a room in a random place to see what would happen. I had no intention of keeping the room, though but I can't find a way to delete it.. it's only letting me leave.Now, I remember being able to delete these rooms before.. did something change? How can I delete this now?

Suggestion:

Possibility to change the translator to DeepL with own API key (set it up through settings) and if the monthly limit is reached automatically change back to gtranslate till the API key is free again.
Maybe also add different API keys if one is full, using next one.

Voice messages + airpods = terrible
So I have this annoying issue. I own AirPods on third generation and an iPhone. The AirPods working fine but sometimes i noticed having a bad microphone quality, people also told me. But when sending an audio message on telegram its the absolute worst. It sounds like I’m using something from 1960s. I went to the Apple GeniusBar and I got my AirPods replaced. Now I have new AirPods with no issues but still on telegram i sound terrible. You can’t even understand what Im saying it sounds like constant wind added with bad connection and all.Does anyone have the same issues and knows how to change it to better? Voice messages on other apps just work fine. Instagram is crispy clear for instance
