Good news for bot builders! With today's release of our iOS, Android and Desktop apps, people will have a new way of contacting your bot: right from the text input field. Works in any cloud chat, the bot doesn't need to be a member. This means you can now provide users with content to send to their friends (@gif, @vid, @pic, @wiki, @imdb) or transform their input (@bold) – and who knows what else you'll come up with. Check out our Intro to Inline Bots for more info: https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline Stay tuned for more updates here on #BotNews.
