Telegram for Android and iOS Updated to Version 11.12
The latest Telegram update brings users the following features:
Direct Messages to Channels
• Channel admins with Change Channel Info permission can enable the ability to receive messages from users and set a fee per message: from free to 10,000 stars.
• When a user sends a message, a "Messages" chat is created, resembling a forum. Channel administrators with the "Post Messages" permission can respond to user messages.
• Communication takes place without revealing the contact details of the channel administration.
Ability to Trim Voice Messages
• Users can trim a voice message before sending it. To do this, they need to pause the recording, after which trimming functions for both the beginning and end become available.
• After trimming, users can continue recording the voice message, edit it again if necessary, and then send it.
Forum Topics as Tabs
• Forum owners can customize the way topics are displayed. Two modes are available: "Tabs" and "List."
• The setting affects the forum’s appearance for all participants.
High-Quality Photos
• When sending an image, users can choose the quality in which the photo will be sent. Two options are available: HD and SD.
• Image quality is preserved when forwarding media files.
Sending Media Files to Stories on iOS
• iOS users can now send photos and videos from other apps directly to the Telegram Stories editor via the "Share" button.
• This simplifies publishing, for example, old photos from the gallery—making them accessible without switching between apps.
12 Answer Options in Polls
• The maximum number of answer options in polls has been increased from 10 to 12.
• Users now have the ability to create polls in "Saved Messages" to forward them to other chats later.

Translation Settings Disappear from Telegram for iOS
In version 11.13 of Telegram for iOS, the translation feature settings are no longer visible under "Settings › Language".
It’s likely that the settings were hidden because the translation feature has not been working since June 26.
At the same time, new lines found in the source code of Telegram apps suggest that the developers are planning to fundamentally change how translations work: apparently, users will be able to download translation models directly to their devices.

Links From Non-Contacts No Longer Work in Telegram for iOS and macOS
In the latest versions of Telegram for iOS and macOS, links received from unknown users in private chats are displayed as plain text — they are not highlighted and cannot be clicked.
This behavior appears to be an intentional security measure by Telegram to protect users from scams and malicious content.
To make a link functional again, you can:
• Add the sender to your contacts
• Dismiss the banner with action buttons at the top of the chat
• Forward the message to your “Saved Messages” — the link will become clickable there
This change has not been officially documented in Telegram’s changelogs, but it aligns with broader efforts to reduce spam and phishing attempts on the platform.

The Discuss Button Has Disappeared From Channel Profiles on iOS
After the introduction of direct messages to channels, Telegram users on iOS discovered that they no longer have the option to open the discussion group from a channel's profile if discussion is enabled. The button that previously opened the discussion group now opens the direct messages chat.
The editorial team of @tginfo does not know whether this is a bug or intended behavior by the developers. The issue likely appeared in Telegram for iOS version 11.12, when channels got direct messages.
For channels without direct messages enabled, the button still opens the discussion group.
It is still possible to open the group linked to a channel with discussion enabled. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open any post of the channel and go to the comments.
2. Press and hold the “Back” button. The app will then show a list including both the channel itself and the group linked to it.
3. Select the group.
