Telegram now has a suspiciously high price range from $0.49 to $289.99 on the Google Play Store 🤔 Maybe Stars?

Telegram Stars payments are already available in test servers — but they aren't supported by clients

Pretend your bot is selling pizza delivery instead of premium packages to resolve this issue. The staff emphasizes that this is an ironic message.

But all Telegram bots need an update to do this. Many users are receiving this message, https://t.me/TGBlogLeaks/785. Telegram bots that are reported and that have not updated will probably risk being blocked

You can buy Telegram Stars using in-app payments (obviously therefore they pass through the stores) and purchase on updated Telegram bots using this payment method.

Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars.

URGENT Action Required Dear Bot Developer, Apple has informed Telegram that @fStikBot is in violation of App Review Guidelines 4.7 and 3.1.1, because it accepts payments for digital goods and services directly from customers without relying on Apple's in-app purchase mechanism. To ensure that Telegram bots/mini apps such as yours continue operating without interruption on all platforms, we have developed a way for third-party developers on Telegram to accept payments from their customers that is compliant with the App Store and Play Store policies. To this end, we are rolling out a new in-app currency, Telegram Stars, which users will be able to acquire from Telegram using standard Apple and Google in-app purchases and then use to buy digital goods and services from you. Developers will be able to review their Telegram Stars balance and withdraw them at any time using the TON blockchain. Starting on June 12, all payments for digital goods and services in bots and mini apps will have to be carried out exclusively in Telegram Stars. Since Telegram has to follow the Guidelines imposed on us by the app stores, failure to comply with these changes will result in the suspension of @fStikBot for most of your customers. We will publish the full updated API documentation within the next few days, but you can already prepare your bots and mini-apps for the upcoming changes. To accept payments for digital goods and services, you will need to use the sendInvoice or createInvoiceLink methods with the currency field set to "XTR" and the provider_token field left empty. We expect these changes to positively impact the conversion rate for payments from customers in most markets. Payments for physical goods and services remain unchanged. More details will be published on @botnews soon. The Telegram Team

Smells of changes in Telegram Private Calls Some time ago we told you about some rumors that came to us about some future telegram features. Talking about Private Calls 3.0, we inform you that there is something brewing. https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/tgcalls/commit/9effaaac6b3372b12cc183702d839376038cec15 After analyzing this commit in the source code of Telegram Calls Library, we noticed that now the calls can be done also under a proxy, allowing users to bypass things like NAT blocking problems or geolocation bans, this by using customParameters, this also possibly solves the problems of fragmentation of private calls that currently each client uses different versions (eg. TgX, WebK and etc), thanks to the fact that possible server-side changes can be passed via customParameters to enable or disable things, as well as giving a thousand possibilities to the introduction of new features in private calls We will continue to analyze the situation and update you. TL;DR: Calls are evolving and becoming more secure and accessibile to all countries.
