Number of replies per message
Along with the Telegram update to version 7.1, the messenger has a thread function (viewing responses to a message on a separate page). This function only works in groups that are linked to a channel.
On October 24, the threading feature started working for all groups on the test server.
Today, messages on the main server also have tags with the number of replies to them. At the moment, this figure is visible from the following clients: Telegram Desktop, Telegram for iOS, Beta version of the native client for macOS and Unigram).
This is probably due to the preparation of the messenger servers for the update.

Unclickable links in profiles. Why did they disappear?
Since the appearance of groups and channels in Telegram, they had a description, later links in it became active ... In September 2017, descriptions appeared in user profiles. For three years (until October 2020), links in the profile description were clickable only in unofficial clients and Telegram X for Android.
With the Telegram update to version 7.2 (version 2.4.5 for Telegram Desktop), the situation has changed.
In the description of the user and groups, the following are highlighted:
- Usernames (@tginfoen).
- Links t.me and telegram.org (t.me/tginfoen).
- Links telegra.ph and telesco.pe
In the description of channels and bots, the following are highlighted:
- Usernames (@tginfoen).
- Links t.me and telegram.org (t.me/tginfoen).
- Links telegra.ph and telesco.pe
- Other links (tginfo.me).
It seems rather strange that even links to telegra.ph (an article writing service from Telegram) are not highlighted. In many cases, the group description included a link to the rules or useful links using this service (due to the support of Instant View).
Take part in our pool: do you use links in the description and are they important to you, and in the comments to the survey, you can indicate cases of using links in the description of a group or profile.
UPD: The updated version has added support for links to telegra.ph.

The court ordered Telegram to pay $ 620 thousand in legal costs due to the Gram trademark
Since Telegram withdrew the copyright lawsuit at the end of August 2020, it has to pay the legal costs of the firm against which it was sued.
Initially, the startup demanded a refund of $ 1,615,140 in compensation.
Recall that in May 2018, Telegram filed a lawsuit in the US District Court against Lantah LLC, which was going to issue a cryptocurrency called "Gram".

Telegram Bot API
The Bot API is an HTTP-based interface created for developers keen on building bots for Telegram. To learn how to create…
Run your own Bot API server
You can run Bot API locally and send the requests to your own server instead of api.telegram.org. If you switch to a local Bot API server, your bot will be able to:
- Download files without a size limit.
- Upload files up to 2000 MB.
- Upload files using their local path and the file URI scheme.
- Use an HTTP URL for the webhook.
- Use any local IP address for the webhook.
- Use any port for the webhook.
- Set max_webhook_connections up to 100000.
- Receive the absolute local path as a value of the file_path field without the need to download the file after a getFile request.

Transferring ownership of bots
Along with the update Bot API to version 5.0, it became possible to transfer ownership of a bot from one account to another.
For transmission:
- Two-factor authentication must be enabled at least 7 days prior to transfer. The password should not change during this time.
- The session from which the transfer takes place must exist for at least 24 hours.
- The user to whom the transfer is carried out must write to the bot and unblock it (if the bot was blacklisted by the user).
The transfer is carried out through the bot @botfather.

Proposal to improve behaviour of mobile number change and account deletion for two-factor auth protected accounts
Telegram channel administrators address this message to Pavel Durov
Two-factor authorization serves to protect your account and is requested when you log into your account, as well as transfer channels and bots to another account.
But not all important actions are protected. Two-factor authorization is not required to change a mobile number or delete an account. This creates a huge risk in the physical arrest of a SIM card or phone, substitution of the number at the operator level, detention of the administrator, as well as the seizure of equipment.
Channel administrators ask Pavel Durov to enable additional protection.
