A demo of how auctions for rare gifts work 🎈 📰 Durov presented a demo (before publishing the update blog btw) on his channel.

If you’re not rich, don’t even think about participating. It’s not a game of luck it’s a game of money

Good luck! 🍀

😋 We’re starting to test new Telegram features such as live-streaming in Stories and auctions for gifts. 🍸 Before we auction gifts from superstars and megacelebrities, we’re testing the auction mechanics with the exclusive 🎁Telegram Plane gift. 🏆 It will be auctioned in 50 rounds, each distributing 20 Telegram Planes to the top 20 bidders. The first round will last 1 hour, while the remaining 49 rounds will last only 5 minutes each. 🔜 The auction starts in half an hour. Make sure you have the latest version of Telegram installed, otherwise you won’t be able to take part. Good luck! 🍀

📰 When Durov was released from restriction by the French court, moderation blocked more than 500,000(!) on November 13 Channels and groups. 🏆 The last record — February 5, 2025 — is more than 490,000 chats, and compared to last month on the same date (October 13) — 1.5 times more. 📊According to statistics, 35 million chats were blocked during the year, of which about 856 thousand with violence against children and 207 thousand with terrorist content. https://telegram.org/moderation

📰 Against the backdrop of restrictions on sending codes via SMS, Russians are being offered to connect another method of authorization — email. ✅ I recommend everyone and every user to use this method.

😉 iOS has also made some progress in the redesign, more on that later.
