📰 Literally ALL USERS got the opportunity to publish stories! 🥳 For users from specific countries, namely Russia (+7), Ukraine (+380), Indonesia (+62), Iran (+98) and India (+91), it is not necessary to have Telegram Premium in order to create your stories…

📰 Pavel Durov stated on Twitter that the Android client might get the same top bar design as iOS. They're still considering it. 🖼 You may have seen what it looks like on the iOS version before, and you can see it now in the photo. Pavel Durov ✅ @durov @toniniebla33 We’re thinking about it.

As an argument for blocking Telegram and forcing Russians to switch to another app, some sometimes cite the example of China and its messenger WeChat. But this comparison is flawed. WeChat was not designated a "national messenger" and was not imposed on people. It became the absolute leader in the free competitive struggle of the early 2010s by offering Chinese users the best service from dozens of contenders (among which were international messengers like WhatsApp, which were available without restrictions in those years). Only after WeChat organically won over the majority of the audience did the state begin to integrate its services into it. Similarly, the main messengers in Korea and Japan (more than 90% of the market) became KakaoTalk and LINE - also without blocking foreign competitors and without administrative support. That is, Russia's attempt to dictatorially impose a service on the population has no successful examples in global practice. There are only three leading local messengers in their markets worldwide, and all of them are the result of market competition, not official appointments. Competition is the driving force of innovation. Its elimination will only reduce the quality of life and the safety of people's communication. ©@durov_russia/65 (🅰)

Telegram Nodes Discord will roll out “teen-by-default” safety settings in early March, placing all users into restricted mode unless they verify they are adults. Verification may require a selfie-based age estimation or a government ID upload, although Discord says most adults will be automatically verified without manual steps. While the move aims to strengthen teen safety, it has sparked strong backlash over privacy concerns especially following a previous ID data breach. Many users have criticized the update as invasive and are exploring alternative platforms. Interestingly, just a few months ago in December 2025, Telegram announced plans to introduce Discord-like features called “Telegram Nodes.” With the current controversy surrounding Discord, we are now hoping Telegram will release this feature soon. Telegram has also showcased several top design concepts submitted by contestants for the upcoming Nodes interface. https://t.me/Boegyman/203
