How the features from the November Telegram update should work
In early November, Telegram launched a contest for Android developers, the goal of which was to implement features, which will become part of the upcoming update.
Today, the works of the contestants have become publicly available, which means that users can already try some of the functions. Let's try to figure out how it currently works:
1. Prevent forwarding messages and saving media
At the moment, the function is working in new versions apps, and can be configured by the author of the group or channel. It is important to note that forwarding messages and saving media works from older versions of clients, this should be fixed after stable release.
2. Sending messages via a channel in public groups
At the moment, you can write via channel only in those chats where the user is the administrator. There is no such limitation on the test server.
