Make an offer for an occupied username on Fragment

On the Fragment auction platform, you can make an offer for an occupied username that was previously not placed on the platform.

To leave a request to purchase the address, the buyer must pay a commission to the platform of 1 TON or more, depending on the offer, and specify the desired amount for which they are ready to buy the username.

The owner of the public name will receive a notification about the request to purchase his username directly in the chat with the Telegram service account. The message will give instructions on how to correctly place the address up for auction.

Hidden Media, Zero Storage Usage, New Drawing Tools, Profile Pictures for Your Contacts, and More

Telegram for Android, iOS have been updated to version 9.3.

⚠️ Other Telegram clients will receive the new version shortly.

Hidden Media
β€’ You can cover photos and videos with a shimmering layer that blurs the image. It will take your recipients one tap to break the spell and see the content.
β€’ In the attachment menu, select one or more items and choose 'Hide with Spoiler'.

Zero Storage Usage
β€’ You can add separate auto-remove settings for cached media from Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – with exceptions for specific chats.
β€’ The new pie charts help visualize what's taking up space, and dedicated tabs for Media, Files and Music let you clear the largest items in just a few taps.
β€’ On iOS, it was greatly reduced the time it takes the app to calculate cache size.

New Drawing and Text Tools
β€’ Telegram's already powerful media editor has been fully redesigned.
β€’ Drawing tools dynamically change width based on drawing speed and automatically smooth your lines.
β€’ There is a new blur tool to redact sensitive data (or photobombers) – and 5 high-precision ways to choose colors, including the Eyedropper tool.
β€’ When adding text to photos or videos, you can now change its size, font, and background.
β€’ Adding custom animated emoji to text on images is available for all users, even if they don't have a Telegram Premium subscription.
β€’ To quickly add shapes like rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles, tap the β€œ+” button.
β€’ You can also hold the surface to fill the canvas with color – or to erase everything.
β€’ In the coming updates, Telegram plans to further refine the media editor interfaces and improve their performance.

Profile Pictures for Your Contacts
β€’ When editing your contacts, you can choose a picture for them – only you will see it on their profile.
β€’ If you have a good profile picture for your contact, you can suggest it to them. It will take them just two taps to add it to their profile.
β€’ Open a contact's Profile > Edit, then choose 'Set Photo for…' or 'Suggest Photo for…'.

Public Profile Pictures
β€’ You can set visibility to 'Nobody' and add some users or groups as exceptions.
β€’ These settings are available in Settings > Privacy and Security > Profile Photo.

Hiding Group Members
β€’ Admins of groups with 100+ members can now choose to hide the member list. This way, if people don't send messages to the group, only its admins will know they were there.

New Progress Animations on Android
β€’ Smooth new animations have been added when jumping to a faraway reply in a busy chat and to other pages throughout the app.

🌟 New Animated Emojies
β€’ Premium users get 10 new packs of custom animated emoji as a present from Telegram artists.

More Interactive Emoji

β€’ To watch full-screen effects in sync with your chat partner, send a single πŸŽ…πŸŽ„β˜ƒοΈπŸ’…πŸ—ΏπŸ†’πŸ€ͺ in any 1-on-1 chat and then tap on it.
β€’ All these emoji can now be used as reactions – the Moai face will be particularly useful to see off 2022.

The best and worst features introduced in Telegram in 2022

The year 2022 is coming to an end. During this period, many new features have appeared on the Telegram platform, including the paid subscription Telegram Premium. The main efforts of the development team in the outgoing year were focused on the development of the paid subscription and promotion of the features included in it. However, many free features have also appeared, as well as features that were added in yesterday's update.

Today we are holding a vote for the best and worst Telegram features of 2022, both among paid and free options.

Please note: in each poll, you can choose several answers. Please vote thoughtfully and choose no more than three options in each poll. Thank you!

List of polls:
β€’ Best public feature.
β€’ Worst public feature.
β€’ Best Premium feature.
β€’ Worst Premium feature.

High-resolution images in Telegram

The Telegram Desktop source code includes an option to change the value of the kPhotoSideLimit parameter from 1280 to 2560.

This means that Telegram servers already allow for the sending of images at a higher resolution, while clients continue to use the previous compression value.

The @tginfo editorial team hopes that in the future this change will appear on all clients and will also affect not only images but also video. This refers to the possibility of sending 4K video from all clients without compression to 1080p.

Telegram Info 7 years!
VPN and channels in 30 languages

7 years ago our community was born. During this time we have created and developed many different projects.

β€’ 3 years ago, the TON Info (RU) news channel appeared, as well as the Beta Info (RU) channel, where we tell the most loyal fans about new features before they become available in the public stable versions of the Telegram apps. In addition, we continue to work on many other projects.

β€’ In Russia, a significant portion of the internet is blocked. In the spring, we launched the Telegram Info VPN service, which helps users access any websites that are not available in Russia and other countries.

β€’ Thanks to the efforts of people in many countries, our foreign channels are available in Indonesian, Persian, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Arabic, Russian, and other languages. There are now more than 30 of them. You can see a list of our communities on TGStat.

We won’t stop at what has been achieved and plan to do even more for our readers in 2023. If you want to join the @tginfoen team, help develop existing or create new services, write or translate news in your language and develop a local community, write to us at @infowritebot.

Sincerely, the @tginfoen team.
