A string has been found indicating the introduction of Premium subscriptions different from the standard monthly and annual plans, such as a 2-year option.
There were also removed strings related to local translation models.

Some gifts will be available exclusively to Telegram Premium subscribers.
• Limit on gifts per user
The source code contains mentions of restrictions on the number of gifts that can be sent to a single user. Different gifts will have individual limits.
• Profile level
References to a "profile level" have been found in the code, which depends on the number of stars spent.
• Age verification
According to the discovered strings, this is a requirement of UK legislation, and Telegram emphasizes that photos used for age verification will not be stored on their servers.
• Flexible subscription options
A string has been found indicating the introduction of Premium subscriptions different from the standard monthly and annual plans, such as a 2-year option.
There were also removed strings related to local translation models.
It's important to note that currently only mentions of these features have been discovered in Telegram's code, and they haven't been officially announced yet, so the final versions of these functions may undergo some changes.

Log in to Telegram via Passkeys Without Codes or Phone Numbers
In the future, Telegram plans to introduce authentication via Passkeys. The first signs of this feature have appeared in the Beta version of Telegram for Android 12.2.8.
The key advantage of Passkeys is the ability to log into your account without entering a phone number or a one-time code. This distinguishes it from logging in via email or Google / Apple ID, which serve merely as alternatives to receiving an SMS code.
A “log in using passkey” button has appeared on the app's login screen. Tapping it launches your password manager, which verifies your identity using Face ID, fingerprint, or your screen lock PIN. From it, the messenger receives your signature, which functions as your login, password, and one-time confirmation code all simultaneously.
Much like email login, this new feature will need to be pre-configured in Telegram’s security settings. The key will be saved on the phone where it was created, but it can be synced with other devices via Google Password Manager, iCloud Passwords, or other applications.
Why is this important?
• Reduced reliance on SMS: This makes logging in possible even if you don’t have active sessions and your mobile operator is blocking SMS messages from Telegram.
• Security: The Passkey is stored in a secure enclave of your password manager—it cannot be intercepted or entered on a phishing site.
• Speed: Login is performed with a single touch via biometrics (face or fingerprint). When you switch phones, the Passkey automatically syncs via your password manager using your Google account or Apple ID.
The feature is currently under development and is not yet fully functional. Stay tuned for news about Telegram Beta versions on our Beta Info channel.
