Proxy donations

Since August the 9th, protests, Internet outages, and limitations of access to various services, including Telegram, have been occuring in Belarus.

For over 2 weeks we've been supporting a powerful proxy server, which is used by tens of thousands of Belarusians every day — add proxy.

During this time, we'd spent over $500 on supporting the proxy. Since we are anot a commercial project and publish virtually no advertisements, we ask you to help our proxy and support Belarusians.

We are announcing a proxy fundraiser. To do this, we have created a page where everyone will be able to support us by some amount for proxy maintainance, and thus support the Belarusians and their access to Telegram at this uneasy time.

Transferring bot ownership

In the files of the Beta version of Telegram for macOS, work was noticed on the function of transferring ownership of the bot.

A year earlier, in the messenger, it became possible to transfer the owner status for groups and channels.

It is known that to transfer a bot you will need:
- Two-factor authentication must be enabled at least 7 days prior to transfer.
- The session from which the transfer takes place must exist for at least 24 hours.

The transfer of ownership interface will appear later.

Bea's "Double Bottom" in Telegram

This summer, an independent company Postuf has developed solution for Telegram client, which allows you to log into accounts through different code-passwords. Accounts are hidden from each other, and the solution does not give the presence of several accounts in Telegram client.

In a nutshell:
When entering a pre-prepared password, the user gets not in the main, but in a pre-prepared profile, completely clean from correspondence. This solution will help in situations where the user will be forced to show the contents of Telegram. Under threats of torture, violence, pressure, he may have no other choice. There is no such protection in any messenger

After the appearance of the hashtag #ДуровДобавьДвойноеДно in a number of chats and channels, our editors thought how such functionality is appropriate in the official application.

Why it's good:
"In some cases, it can really help if the check is not very thorough, and you are not a very famous person.

Why it's hard:
"If you do not think well enough, you may be suspicious of the inspection.

Accordingly, you need to think through a very large number of little things

The messenger development team is aware of this initiative, but they do not comment on it.

New feature spotted in Telegram

Now you can receive a notification about a reply to a message even after leaving the group. They will be sent by a special bot (most likely, created by the efforts of the messenger development team).

Interesting:
— The bot does not need to be in the group you left.
— The bot can be the first to write to private messages.
— The bot ignores the privacy setting on the transition to the profile by the forwarded message.
— Even if you block the bot, he can write.
— Only works in supergroups (public and private).
— All types of media are supported.
— When deleting a message in a group, the message from the bot is not deleted.

Proxy by @tginfo

For almost a month now, we have been maintaining a powerful proxy server, which is used by tens of thousands of Belarusians to gain access to Telegram at a time when the Internet is restricted in the country.

Every Sunday, the authorities restrict Internet access, so today we are maximizing the bandwidth of our proxy.

Don't forget that you can support us and our proxy. Together we make information more accessible, and the Internet freer, together we are strong. And we are all together for a free and independent Belarus.

Share our proxy with your Belarusian friends, relatives and acquaintances with whom you want to stay in touch not only today, but also in the future.
