Comments in Video Chat

In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.1 (31369), users can now send messages and emoji reactions directly within video chats.

Note: At the moment, video chats do not retain message history โ€” all comments during the stream disappear shortly after being sent. Itโ€™s unclear whether this behavior will change in the future.

Telegram Experiments With Liquid Glass Design

In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.1 (31369), several interface elements have been adapted to the new Liquid Glass design introduced with iOS 26 on Apple devices.

Visual changes already affect the bottom menu, text input panel, video chats, and other parts of the messenger interface.

Repeating Messages

In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.2.0, users may now schedule recurring messages.

Live Broadcasts in Stories With Paid Pinned Messages

In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.2, Stories now feature live broadcasts with the ability to pin your messages using stars.

The duration of the pin, the length of the comment, and the maximum number of emojis allowed depend on the number of stars spent.

This feature is under development and currently works only on the test server. Its behavior may change in the future.

Auction for Purchasing Limited Gifts in Telegram

In the Beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.2 (31682), a new mechanism for distributing gifts via auction has been discovered.

How the auction currently works:

โ€ข 50 gifts are distributed at different intervals among the top 50 participants with the highest bids. 
โ€ข If a bid drops out of the top 50, it is automatically carried over to the next draw. 
โ€ข If a bid does not win after the final draw, the stars are fully refunded.

At the moment, the auction applies to newly released gifts. Whether the system will also work for previously upgraded gifts is still unknown.

The feature is under development and currently works only on the test server. Its behavior may change in the future.

Telegram Continues to Attempt to Implement Liquid Glass

In the 12.2.3 (31924) Beta version of Telegram for iOS, developers continue to introduce blurred, semi-transparent elements into the interface.

One of the most noticeable parts of the app has changed this time, and that's the chat header. It seems that the messenger team decided that redesigning for the sake of redesigning is the best way to develop the application.

In addition, the search bar and tabs in the global search section have not only been given a new look but have also been moved to the bottom of the screen.

Gift Crafting Is Available in Beta

The beta version of Telegram for iOS 12.3.3 (32167) includes gift crafting.

What is known:

โ€ข Before a craft, the user can view all possible models that could be the result of the craft after combining multiple gifts.

โ€ข To craft a gift, you can either use your own collectible gifts or purchase the missing ones from the in-app market.

โ€ข The probability of success depends on the number of gifts used and their properties: when using 2 gifts, the chance of losing them is the maximum, while with 4 it's the minimum (however, the risk always remains). In case of failure, all gifts put into the craft are lost.

The @tginfo team explains gift grafting in detail here.

This feature is currently available only on test servers and may undergo further changes before the initial release.
