Button to publish a story has appeared on all accounts, but if your country bans free story posting, the button won’t work.

If your country allows free story posting or you have Telegram Premium, the button will be functional.

Bug has been fixed that previously allowed scammers to drain more Stars from you during the purchase of resale NFT gifts.

@telelakel

Feature «Post Suggestion for stars» is currently in development for iOS, but mentions of it have been removed from the user interface.

There is currently no further information about this feature.

@telelakel

In the latest Telegram Beta update, the default settings for connecting business bots now disable the bot’s ability to change your username or manage your gifts/stars.

If you delete multiple messages, you can select an action like "Report Spam" or any other action, and it will be saved.
The next time you delete messages, that same action will be applied automatically.

Scammers are selling duplicated gifts on Tonnel.

There’s a bug that lets you upgrade a gift multiple times, creating several identical gifts with the same number, model, background, and symbol.
However, this gift can only be transferred once—after that, it just throws an error.
So, scammers list these gifts on marketplaces, users buy them and lose their money, gift isn’t sent to the buyer.

UPD: Tonnel said it was a visual bug, but the gift dupe bug still exists.

The most likely way to unfreeze a bot is to reach out to the bot support account @BotSupport.
No other methods are known — tests with messengers using a bot token, contacting SpamBot or other support accounts, didn’t work.

Telegram has launched a contest for creators with a prize pool of up to $50,000. Participants need to create a short video (up to 180 seconds) showcasing Telegram’s technological leadership over WhatsApp, highlighting how Telegram introduced features years before WhatsApp copied them. Submissions are accepted until May 26, with results announced in June [View].

The attached photo shows how Telegram deletes reactions under a post with a contest (2, 3, 4 screenshot), and on 1 everything has already been returned to the way it was.

@telelakel

UPD: It turns out Telegram activated these gifts, and those who caught it in time managed to grab a few for themselves. It’s not working anymore now.

@telelakel

All gifts that were purchased due to a mistake by one of the developers have been refunded.
This error occurred on DC1.

Telegram is running poorly, with issues in sending messages, uploading media, and more.
