In the new version, the boost system for groups has been added. Let us tell you more about it:

Opportunity to boost group: Users can now boost a group to unlock new features like public voice message transcription and real-time translation.

Features are unlocked as the group level grows. To reach each level you need to get boosts in the amount of 1/25 of the total number of chat members, which is 10 times more than in channels.

Customize appearance settings for the group: Groups now have a Appearance and Emoji tab where administrators can set a personal color for the profile, select the group's emoji pack and emoji status, and set a custom wallpaper. To unlock a feature, a group will need to reach a certain level.

Group custom emoji: There is now an ability to set custom emoji that will be available to each member in that group.

Removing limits for boosts: Select the number of boosts a member should give to the group in order to not be limited by the limits set for all chat members in the permissions section.

Stories from groups: Administrators can now post stories on behalf of the group. The number of stories per day is equal to the chat level.

Giveaways in groups: Chat owners can organize a giveaway among members. In return, the group will receive 4 boosts for each giveaway.
