News and Tips

📰 Telegram launches its first-ever contest for content creators. On @designers channel. 🎨 Quite an interesting competition, because it is aimed at creating a 3-minute short video on the topic of Telegram's superiority over Whatsapp in terms of innovation. This topic explains that WhatsApp began to copy functions from a competitor who was implementing them on its own. You can also use AI-based tools. And the video must be viral and clearly understandable with full English. 📄 The above files are materials that can be inspired by them. Anyone can participate, the term is one and a half weeks. Prize = $ 50,000. Results for the next month.

📰 Two news items about blockages. 1️⃣ Not first wave of casino blocking, but the biggest. ⛔️@CasinoBot and other casino bots are being blocked, most likely due to their IPO plans, where regulatory issues cannot be tolerated. Not only one bot was blocked, but also other projects with a million-strong audience, as well as those who bought fragment usernames from them. Previously, Telegram blocked organic traffic, namely specific keywords in search. 2️⃣ The first bot was frozen. Talking about @OBDSPQRHWND_BOT. ❄️ It is logical to understand that bots are also a one-on-one chat. And to appeal the blocking, it seems, the owner needs to contact @BotSupport. Under this circumstance, the getMyName method returns a 400 "FROZEN_METHOD_INVALID" error, while the getMe method returns results as usual. I assume, based on the source, that this bot is designed to provide app themes. Sources: 💌💌💌 + 💌💌💌

⚡️ To make the levels more accessible, including for the sake of auto-translation of posts, the boost system has changed. I calculated that now for 1 level you need 1 boost for every 500/50 participants, instead of 250/25. However, some chats have had issues…

Let’s Talk About #Accessibility on #Telegram My friend José Carlos from the @Telenewstech channel has published an important blog post after several days of testing Telegram with TalkBack, the screen reader used by many blind and visually impaired users. His findings are concerning: many Telegram features are still not accessible, making the app difficult or even impossible to use for people with vision impairments. As he rightly points out, if these issues are not highlighted, they will continue to be ignored. This post is a call to action. It’s not just a critique—it includes detailed feedback and, most importantly, links to two reports on Telegram’s bug and suggestion platform. You can help simply by voting on these reports. It’s quick, free, and could make a real difference.

✌️ Our competitors have become desperate — they have started advertising themselves in Telegram channels. Before that, they published commissioned articles mainly in the Western press. It would be better if they spent billions of their marketing budget, directed against us, on innovations. Telegram is technologically ahead of WhatsApp by years — and every month this gap only grows😎 - @durov_russia
