More information about the upcoming update in Telegram
The code update in the official repository of Telegram Desktop on GitHub has provided more details regarding the upcoming update in addition to the list we previously published:
• Changelogs in stories
In future Telegram updates, the platform is likely to start sharing its changelogs in the form of stories.
• Different limits for Telegram Premium owners and regular users
Story caption: 200 characters for regular users and 2048 characters for Telegram Premium owners.
Story self-destruct timer: We are still not certain, but it seems that it will be possible to set a lifespan for stories up to 30 days (or hours, as there is no exact information yet) for regular users and up to 100 days for Premium users. There are no screenshots on the translation platform that include such values.
• Ability to report stories
Stories will be displayed on user profiles. In the stories themselves, it will be possible to mention (@username) other users, who will receive corresponding notifications. In order to prevent abuse of this feature, the messenger's team will add violation reporting functionality for stories.
• New format for in-app advertising
A new advertising format will be introduced in channels (not in stories): image + text + link. The link can also lead to an external resource, for which Telegram will add click tracking for advertising links.
It is important to note that all information is based on assumptions from the API schema, so the story mechanism may undergo some changes before the release.

The Advertisement Platform Testing Phase Is Supposedly Over
Recently, a paragraph in the explanation of Sponsored Messages was removed which was indicating that the feature is currently under testing:
Sponsored Messages are currently in test mode. Once they are fully launched and allow Telegram to cover its basic costs, we will start sharing ad revenue with the owners of public channels in which Sponsored Messages are displayed.
To view this explanation yourself, find any sponsored message, click the “Sponsored” label, and choose “What are sponsored messages?”.
We are currently unaware of any plans for sharing ad revenue with public channel owners.

Telegram Will Only Share Its Ad Revenue in Countries Where Ad Platform Is Newly Introduced
Yesterday, Pavel Durov announced that starting from March of this year, Telegram will share half of its native ads revenue with channel owners. According to the "Durov's Code" channel, citing one of Telegram's advertising partners, payouts will only be made in countries that are new to advertising. For example, Russia is not among them, as the advertising platform in the Russian market was launched earlier.
In the new countries, Telegram will sell ads and reward channel owners only in TON cryptocurrency.
In regions where advertising has been running for a long time, the previous methods of payment for sponsored posts will remain.
Whether the reward system will ever be extended to countries where the advertising platform has already been launched is not reported.

Sharing Revenue with Channel Owners
Today, we're introducing one of the most generous reward systems in the history of social media. Telegram channel owners can now receive 50% of the revenue from ads displayed in their channels.
New Telegram Monetization System
A source close to Telegram talked to Durov's Code on the specifics of the new monetization system. Here are the main points of the article:
• The Telegram Advertising Platform now allows purchasing ads only with TON. Payment by fiat currency remains available only to advertising agencies: their personal accounts on the Telegram website still allow this.
• Ads purchased with TON can only be targeted to specific channels. It is impossible to target them to any topic or location. Such ads cannot contain external links, but the entry threshold for buying them is only 20 TON.
• Ads purchased with TON aren't displayed to channel subscribers if the phone numbers linked to their accounts are issued by Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, or Germany.
• The "Monetization" tab is available in the channel statistics section only if at least half of the channel's subscribers have phone numbers issued outside of Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, or Germany, and the total number of channel subscribers exceeds 1,000. The location of the channel owner and the phone number of their account do not affect the display of the "Monetization" tab.
• Even if the "Monetization" tab is not displayed on a channel, the channel owner's account will still receive funds from ads purchased with TON and shown to their channel's subscribers. However, they will not be able to withdraw these funds until the conditions from the previous point are met.

FAKE: "Telegram Ads Will Get Images and Carousel Galleries"
Some channels are spreading rumors claiming Telegram is preparing to introduce a new ad format inside the messenger. Particularly, interactive image carousels, ads between posts, and higher character limits are mentioned, along with other numerous additions.
For the source of the claims, the channels reference a Telegram story from Sales Manager at Magnetto․pro, an ad agency that specializes in Telegram Ads.
When asked by @tginfo's editors, a source closely related to Telegram insisted the claims are false, since the messenger isn't working at implementing such a functionality right now.
Recently, Telegram introduced a big refresh to the Ads platform, allowing advertizers to buy Telegram Ads in more countries using TON cryptocurrency. This might indicate the Ad Platform is still under active development — the company continues to explore new ways to monetize on its path to becoming profitable.
