Telegram has updated to version 11.1, and this is the first update after Pavel Durov was detained in France.
The function was removed from the messenger People nearbywhich affects people nearby. According to Pavel Durov, it was used by less than 0.1% of users, but it “caused problems with bots and scammers.”
Also, it is no longer possible to upload new media files to Telegraph (a service for creating articles). You can only add photos or videos to Telegraph via a link.
With this, Telegram has introduced several new features.
Telegram Stars Giveaways
Channel owners can raffle off Telegram Stars, Telegram’s internal currency used in widgets, reactions, and to access hidden media files.
Telegram Stars giveaways are held in the same way as Telegram Premium.
Instant View in Telegram Browser
Telegram’s built-in browser can now convert any article into a lightweight Instant View format.
To switch to quick view mode, go to the article in Telegram and select Quick view from the browser menu.
Business nearby
This feature shows profiles of verified companies that are near the user. The function works similarly to People nearby.
In addition, the number of Telegram Premium subscribers exceeded 10 million in September. [Telegram]
