Basic Groups and Supergroups

Almost every Telegram user knows that there are groups in the messenger. However, for many it remains unclear why different chats can behave differently: in some you can copy a link to a message, and in others you can’t; in some you can delete a message only for yourself or for all participants, and in some you can only delete it for everyone; and in some, all materials suddenly disappeared from the Media tab.

In our new article, we talk about converting basic groups into supergroups and the differences between these two types of group chats: https://tginfo.me/groups_vs_supergroups-en/

New Year Visual Effects

At the end of each year, the appearance of the side menu in Telegram for Android changes slightly:

β€’ From December 24 to January 1, the side menu features New Year-themed icons and a snowfall animation.

β€’ On January 1 only, the snowfall animation appears in chats and at the top of the chat list.

Note: Snow animations will only be visible if the following setting is enabled: Settings > Power saving > Animation in Chats > Wallpaper rotation.

In Telegram Desktop, the animation involving snowfall is there in the profile section of the side menu. However, it will appear still if Power Usage > Interface Animations is disabled.

New Rules for Boost-Based Level Ups

The May 9, 2025 update not only gave users several new features but also simplified how channels achieve level ups.

Unfortunately, at the time of the update, the official Telegram website provided no information about the new rules for calculating the number of boosts a channel must receive to move to a particular level.

The @tginfo team is publishing the results of its own investigation into the new mechanism in its article: https://tginfo.me/new-levels-ranking-en

You can find out how many boosts your channel needs to reach a level in our Mini-App calculator.
