Sending Messages to the Past
Lines were found in the Telegram source code that a new feature might soon let users send messages to the past.
When sending a message in a private chat, Telegram Premium subscribers will be able to select any moment in time within the past 12 months. The sent message will appear in the corresponding place in the conversation.
If you receive a message from the future anytime soon — don’t worry! It simply means that this feature has been released in the stable version of an upcoming app release. By the way, if you don’t have a paid subscription yet, congratulations! You will in the near future — otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to send messages to the past.

Main Announcements From Telegram Summit 2026
Telegram's closed conference Telegram Summit 2026 concluded today, where the messenger's team presented revolutionary new features for the upcoming year. The @tginfo editors closely followed the presentation and have collected the most important announcements from the event.
AI Innovations
• Smart media compression. To save server space, photos and videos in old chats will be replaced with their brief text descriptions generated by an AI. If you need to view a deleted file, the messenger will recreate it from the text. In addition, all voice messages longer than three minutes will be forcibly transcribed, and their originals permanently deleted.
• Replacing the declining audience with AI agents. If your chat partner hasn't logged into the app for a month, the messenger will automatically create a language model based on their chat history that will continue to respond to new messages. The developers call this an innovative solution to the problem of empty contact lists: no one wants to use a messenger if they can't chat with their friends. This is especially relevant in Russia, where the user base is declining amid a ban on the messenger.
Media
• Static Videos. In addition to animated photos (Motion Photos), the messenger is working on support for Static Videos. The new feature is designed to improve the user experience in conditions of throttled internet.
• Square video messages. The classic "circles" will become an exclusive privilege for Telegram Premium subscribers. Users of the basic version of the messenger will only be able to send square videos.
Content and Community Quality
• The 🤡 reaction will become paid. Using the clown emoji in channels and chats will become a paid feature. By leaving this reaction under a post, users will automatically transfer 5 stars to its author.
• "Revolution" in channels. The audience will get the opportunity to impeach channel administrators for low-quality content and vote to transfer ownership rights to a new owner. To avoid abuse of the system, every vote will be subject to a fee.
• Telegram Premium for families. The team is testing a family subscription. However, at the moment, it is available only to Pavel Durov's biological children. As the company notes, "a large-scale beta test has already been launched, and the plan has become available to a hundred users."
