Unfortunately, some Telegram features, such as stickers, don’t work correctly under iOS 11.4 that was just released – even though we fixed this issue weeks ago.
Apple has been preventing Telegram from updating its iOS apps globally ever since the Russian authorities ordered Apple to remove Telegram from the App Store. Russia banned Telegram on its territory in April because we refused to provide decryption keys for all our users’ communications to Russia’s security agencies. We believe we did the only possible thing, preserving the right of our users to privacy in a troubled country.
Unfortunately, Apple didn’t side with us. While Russia makes up only 7% of Telegram’s userbase, Apple is restricting updates for all Telegram users around the world since mid-April. As a result, we’ve also been unable to fully comply with GDPR for our EU-users by the deadline of May 25, 2018. We are continuing our efforts to resolve the situation and will keep you updated.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

We want to introduce you some interesting channels we recently discovered:
Removing data on frequently messaged contacts and inline bots
To populate the ‘People’ box at the top of the Search section, Telegram calculates which of your chat partners you are likelier to message frequently. We calculate a similar rating for inline bots – thanks to that, the app can suggest you the bots you use frequently whenever you open the attachment menu (or start a new message with “@”).
We've implemented a way for you to remove this data from Telegram servers and stop Telegram from collecting it. It will become available in version 4.8.3 for iOS and version 4.8.10 for Android. Unfortunately, the update is still under review at the moment, but we expect it to become available in the nearest future.
Once you get the update, go to Settings > Privacy & Security and disable ‘Suggest Frequent Contacts’ to stop calculating ratings for contacts and inline bots, and delete all relevant data.

Replace Media, Share vCards, Mark as Unread, 2X Voice Messages, and More
Telegram 4.8.3 for iOS and 4.8.10 for Android are out today, bringing several nifty features and improvements.
1️⃣ Replace Media and Add Captions
Sending the wrong picture by accident is rarely fun. On Telegram, it was already possible to delete the message for everyone and send a new one instead. Now you can just replace photos or videos with the right versions right away
Start editing the message, then tap the paperclip button to replace the attached media. You can also add captions to photos or videos that didn't have one.
2️⃣ Double-Time Playback for Voice and Video Messages
You'll like this one if your friends enjoy sending long and thoughtful voice notes. From now on, you can switch to 2X playback and hear people get to the point faster.
We did our special best to ensure that your friends don't sound like Helium-breathing chipmunks as a result. Well, most of the times.
3️⃣ Mark as Read or Unread
This offers a quick way to get less important messages out of the way and highlight the chats that require your future attention.
4️⃣ Share vCards
Sometimes you want to share more info about a contact than just one number. With this update, you can select what data you want to send when sharing a contact. For example, several phone numbers or other vCard fields.
5️⃣ And Two More (on Android 💪)
— Android users are getting a few extra goodies with version 4.8.10. Use the “create link” option in the formatting menu to make text URLs
— Last but not least, it is now possible to cancel sending messages before they were sent.
