🕶🕶🕶🕶 Telegram’s birthday/summer gifts sold out in under 3 minutes, grossing over $11M. To make this round fairer, we limited purchases of Durov’s Sunglasses🕶 (~$600, max 3 per user) and Resistance Dog🕶 (~$100, max 5 per user) to Premium users only. Still, both sold out in 15 seconds. 🥹 Should we release 2-3 more gifts on September 1st with even tighter buying restrictions? 🤔

👨‍🏫 A month ago, my father — a leading expert in Ancient Roman literature — turned 80. I asked what advice I should pass to the next generation. He gave me 3: 👨‍💻1. Lead by example. People — especially kids — follow what you do, not what you say. Watching my father work tirelessly on numerous books and scientific papers showed me and my brother the meaning of dedication and inspired us to work hard too. 💖2. Focus on the positive. Growing up in post-war Leningrad, my father learned to control emotions to be a positive force for his family, colleagues and society. He taught me to frame thoughts in ways that bring the most good, even in hard times. 🫡3. Prioritize conscience. Studying and translating thinkers from Julius Caesar to Seneca, my father saw that morals outlast talent. Moral compass, unlike intelligence or creativity, is the ultimate human quality that will not lose value even in the age of AI. 1️⃣2️⃣ As Telegram turns 12 today, I want it to keep following my father’s advice — and: 🏆 Lead by example, setting trends for the messaging world. 🚀 Be a positive force, bringing joy to our users. ❤️ Prioritize conscience, staying true to our principles. - @Durov

📰WhatsApp and Telegram calls have been officially blocked in the Russian Federation! Roskomnadzor has confirmed this. ⚠️🇷🇺 It started on August 1, when calls via foreign messengers were blocked in test mode. ☎️ And on August 10, there was news that the four largest local telecom operators were calling for blocking call communications via messengers in order to adjust finances and return users to mobile calls and SMS to increase profits due to voice traffic. 👮‍♂️The official reason for blocking this method of communication is "the fight against fraudsters." The department reminds that in 2024, the "Antifraud" system will be operating in the country to prevent calls with number substitution. 📞Symptoms of calls: calls are glitching, there is a high chance of connection breaks, video communications are of "jackal" quality, failures also affect video chats. Peer-2-peer do not help. It is important to remember that the UAE (and Dubai) also block VoIP calls, and Telegram does not take measures to bypass them. It is not known whether Telegram will try to bypass call blocking in the Russian Federation. 🪂🇷🇺In order for calls to Telegram to work again, Telegram needs to "land", open a legal entity, build interaction with regulators and law enforcement agencies, as well as unquestioningly comply with all other Russian laws.

📰 An upcoming feature in @BotFather - Threaded mode allows bots to see updates in monoforums, or more precisely, direct channels. This commit was discovered by user @yehudalev.

It is expected that with their help you can create autoresponders, filter spam, automatically suggest your own version of a post or publish to a channel, and much more. Thanks:💌💌💌

📣 Following my post 20 days ago, users have sent us hundreds of reports about scams and blackmail. 👮‍♂️ ⛔️ Based on these reports, this week we’re banning numerous channels for doxxing and extortion. 🔒 ❌ A ban for this reason means we have undeniable evidence that a channel’s admins published defamatory posts, then deleted them in exchange for payment from victims. Some have even been caught selling so-called “protection blocks” — fees victims must pay to avoid being targeted. 💵 ❌ Telegram is not a place for doxxing or blackmail. And to those running such channels: don’t waste your time creating clones — we’ll find you. 📡

🔎Telegram May Be Quietly Testing a Feed like Feature Telegram has recently introduced a new ‘Posts’ tab in Search, allowing users to easily discover content from public channels. This update comes roughly a year after the launch of #hashtagsearch, signaling Telegram’s continued focus on improving content discoverability. This appears to be a soft launch of a potential future ‘Feed’ feature — offering users a scrollable stream of relevant #posts, possibly influenced by engagement metrics such as stars. If fully implemented, this feature could significantly boost post visibility for channels, increase ad exposure for advertisers, and enhance ad revenue opportunities for creators. All indications suggest that Telegram is gearing up to roll out a #feed-based content experience, a move that could reshape how users browse and interact on the platform.
