Telegram is often gaining popularity in the countries amid protests. So you may recall the recent protests in Venezuela, where the messenger also took the first row.

Holders of proxies also noted a large influx of users from Hong Kong.

Recall that the last Telegram was subjected to a massive DDoS attack from China amid protests in Hong Kong.

Many media wrote that Telegram has announced geocache, but it is not!

Why this is not true:
— In the news refer to the information from the Telegram API, but this page has not been updated since 2013, of any announcements of the question.
— Most of the information is based on actual testing of the functionality and not the application development team.

What is known at the moment:
— Operating radius from 1 meter to ~12 km (calculated by testing). And certainly not from 5 meters to 6 kilometers, as stated in the media (and the old API).
— In the list of "nearby group" shows a 5 group chats (sort unknown).
— Users can report a group, if the location is incorrect.
— Geo-tag remains even if you remove the public excellent have a chat. This is either a bug, or everything goes to the fact that we will see a public group without username.
— At this point to remove geo-tag from chat can not (most likely, it will not change).
