Proxy by @tginfo

For almost a month now, we have been maintaining a powerful proxy server, which is used by tens of thousands of Belarusians to gain access to Telegram at a time when the Internet is restricted in the country.

Every Sunday, the authorities restrict Internet access, so today we are maximizing the bandwidth of our proxy.

Don't forget that you can support us and our proxy. Together we make information more accessible, and the Internet freer, together we are strong. And we are all together for a free and independent Belarus.

Share our proxy with your Belarusian friends, relatives and acquaintances with whom you want to stay in touch not only today, but also in the future.

More privacy in Telegram X

Due to server-side changes in Telegram X for Android, the function of viewing posts from a specific admin on a channel has stopped working.

Now you can only see your posts. When you try to view posts from another administrator, the message "No messages" will be displayed on the channel.

Comments in Telegram

The Beta version of Telegram for Android now has inline comments on posts. They are based on the function of linking a chat to a channel.

To activate comments, you need to link the chat to the channel.

A user leaving a comment on a post writes a message to the chat without joining it.

If the chat is prohibited from sending messages, media, or slow mode is enabled, these restrictions will apply to comments.

New menu in chat

In the beta version of Telegram for Android 7.1, a new menu has appeared in the chat. It is called by a long press on the avatar.

If you hold down an avatar, you can see an enlarged avatar and useful buttons below it: open a dialog or go to a profile. This also works with a repost from a linked channel. If you select a user, an additional "Mention" item appears, which also works with users without usernames.

Administrator anonymity in group chats
⁠⁠⁠
It seems that the massive detentions of Belarusians and the huge number of created house and district chats in Belarus prompted Telegram to improve the privacy of the messenger in relation to group administrators.

In the upcoming Telegram update, it will be possible to hide and make anonymous the creator and group administrators.

An item will appear in the rights of each administrator, which makes it possible to hide him from the list of participants and make messages from him anonymous.

The administrators themselves with anonymity enabled will disappear from the list of participants. Messages from them will be sent as messages on behalf of the group.

In older clients, messages will be displayed from an account named DELETED (this should be fixed after the update).

Telegram crashed

Some channels do not display the number of views for channels.

Telegram also stopped responding to API method requests, which can lead to malfunctioning of posting bots.

The development team is already aware of the crash and is working on a fix.

Users from Iran in public chats

Along with the launch of Pavel Durov's @durov channel chat, another imperceptible but important event took place.

Now users from Iran can post in public groups. Telegram promised to do this last year, along with strengthening the anti-spam system, but this happened only yesterday.

Users from Iran could not write to public chats for two years, presumably the restriction was due to a large amount of spam.
