Chat of /r/wallstreetbets subreddit rises its popularity in Telegram
After the ban of the wallstreetbets Discord server, the alternative Telegram chat started rising.
The Voice Chat got full rapidly, in result of what we finally were able to discover the 1,000 voice chat users limit on practice.
Interesting, but the discovered number doesn't match one on the official channel which states the limit is 5,000 users. The most recent information is already published on our Telegram Limits website.

Improved importing and free import API for developers
Pavel Durov made a post about the recent update and disclosed details about the future of the importing tool in Telegram.
Β«The feature currently imports messages to the end of the target Telegram conversation, but retains the original timestamps of messages. Some folks have been asking whether we can mix the existing messages in a Telegram chat with the imported messages in one unified timeline. This should be possible if the target chat (where you import messages to) has fewer than 100 messages, so weβve started to work on that.
Weβll also provide free APIs for third-party developers who want to create tools that will allow users to import messages to Telegram from anywhere. Hopefully, such tools will help add support for more apps than this first wave of three β and also allow users to import multiple chats or their entire inbox at once.
The original meaning of the paper plane on the Telegram logo means βfreedomβ. For us, freedom of choice and data portability are paramount. People should be in complete control over their own data β and their own livesΒ».

Changing how link previews work when editing a message in Telegram Desktop
If you edit a message with the link preview turned off, it (preview) will not appear again if the link is not changed.
