🎁 In the new Telegram Beta for iOS 12.3 (31989), you can now view gift models not only for auction gifts, but also for regular ones that have upgrades.
When you tap the «Upgrade» button, a preview screen appears with an explanation about NFT gifts, along with a new «View all variants» button.

🤖 Here what's coming in the next Telegram stable update (v12.3.0):

The new Android design features a Liquid Glass effect. The side panel has been removed and replaced with a bottom bar for quick switching between Contacts, Calls, Chats, and Profile.

The search bar is now wider.

The Settings design has been updated.
The light theme now looks better overall.

🤖 Some changes in the Telegram Bot API related to gifts.

— New fields have been added:

• has_colors — whether the gift supports backdrop colors.
• unique_gift_variant_count — how many unique variants the gift has (for example, up to 2,400 completely different combinations of backdrops, models, and symbols).
• personal_remaining_count — how many gifts a user is allowed to purchase.
• personal_total_count — the total number of gifts available for purchase for that user.

(the last two fields were added earlier, but they weren’t available in the Bot API).

— Auction gifts have been removed from the Bot API. This was necessary because they don’t have any functional use within bots.
