Telegram for Android updated to version 10.14.2, Telegram for iOS to 10.14.1

The second update of the messenger in June includes several new features:

Mini-App Bar: Users can now minimize mini-apps into a neat panel accessible at the bottom of the screen. This allows for quick returns to bots and instant switching between them without waiting for them to reload and without leaving the chat.

Updated Emoji Reaction Preview: When long-pressing a reaction, the background blurs and the emoji enlarges. Additionally, users can now see which set a custom reaction belongs to when it's left on a channel post.

Payment for Content in Telegram Stars: Content creators can now accept "Telegram Stars" by posting photos or videos with paid access on their channels. Subscribers can view the content of such posts only after payment.

⚠️ Note: Posting paid content is not available in channels where the majority of the audience is from Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and Israel. Additionally, the channel must have at least 1,000 subscribers.

Android: Available on Google Play, as an APK from the official website, or via the verified channel.
iOS: App Store.

Pavel Durov on "Telegram Stars" and Upcoming Mini-App Bar Enhancements

Support Posts by Sending Stars

Section 2.3 Subscriber Donations has revealed the ability to support posts by sending a dedicated star reaction on eligible channels.

Channel owners will be able to exchange the received stars on posts for Toncoin.

This does not mean other reactions will become paid. There is only one, dedicated star reaction that appears on eligible channels.

It is important to note that the behaviour of the feature we have explained is subject to change; it is not the final product, and has not been officially announced yet.
