⚒ The source code of Telegram for Android and iOS have been updated to 10.0

@Telegram #Android #iOS #source #reproducibleBuilds

Starting this November 2023, TON Wallet will be included in the settings and attachment menus for all our users outside the US and some other countries (if you added @wallet and have the latest version of Telegram, you can already see the Wallet option in the menus). This step will allow developers to enable hundreds of new valuable features–similar to those pioneered on Fragment. TON Wallet, a third-party mini-app inside Telegram, will introduce a whole new dimension of Web 3.0 to hundreds of millions of Telegram users. t.me/durov/225

Maybe some of you are not aware that since a few months ago, the SMS login code has changed from a 5-digit code to a 6-digit code.

(The login code sent to the Telegram app remains 5 digits)

🆕 Stories in Channels, View-Once Media and More
https://telegram.org/blog/channel-stories

Stories for Channels
• Telegram users can grant their favorite channels the ability to post stories by giving them boosts. Channel Info > More > Statistics > Boosts
• Telegram Premium now includes one boost that can be assigned to any channel.
• Once your channel unlocks stories, admins with the relevant rights who have a Telegram Premium subscription can post by tapping the ⊕ icon on the Channel Info page.
• Admins will also see a 'Post Story As' option when posting stories from their chat list.

Reaction Stickers in Stories
• To add a reaction sticker, tap the 💭 icon in the sticker panel, then choose an emoji from the dozens of options in the window.

Your Music in Stories
• From the sticker panel, tap 'Audio' and select a file, then adjust the track to select any section. In video stories you can keep the original sound as well as move your added audio track to any point.

View-Once Media
• In any 1-on-1 chat, tapping the ① icon in the media editor lets you choose how long your photo or video will be visible after opening – from View Once to 30 seconds. View-Once media is permanently deleted from the chat when the recipient opens it.

New Login Alerts
• Whenever someone logs in to your account, Telegram sends a notification to all your devices. To make this even more noticeable, new logins now display this alert at the top of your chat list. t.me/tgbeta/4763
