Telegram Is Preparing to Bring Stories to Channels According to crawled data from @tgcrawl, changes were made in Telegram for Android that indicate that stories are coming for channels. From the changes we can guess that there will be a boosting system similar…
Updates to Web Bots, Stories for Channels and Channel Boosts
Telegram's Beta version for Android update hints at several upcoming features, as analyzed by the @tginfo team.
Channel stories and boosts
It seems that Telegram is working on a "boost" system for channels, reminiscent of Discord's. Boosts will allow channel subscribers to vote for their favorite channels. These boosts might unlock special features for administrators, such as the ability to post stories to the channel. The exact features and rewards based on this system are still unknown. There could be different levels with varying limits and functionalities, and the number of stories available for posting might depend on the number of boosts received.
It seems like only Telegram Premium subscribers will be able to boost, and as of now, it looks like Premium users will have only one boost in their subscription available at no extra cost. Telegram aims to introduce this feature to channel administrators in hopes that they will encourage their subscribers to give their boost to their channel. To facilitate quick access to the boost sending menu, a deep link will be provided. Users will be able to change which channel receives their boost only once a day.
Story enhancements
Users will be able to add background audio to stories.
An option to pin a story to a post will be introduced.
Improved login confirmation system
Instead of receiving login notifications via personal messages from the Telegram account, they will now appear above the chat list.
Statistics
Channel statistics will now include data about subscribers with a Telegram Premium subscription.
View photos or videos only once
A new self-destruct option will be added, which prevents media files from being viewed more than once.
Web bot platform update
App strings indicate that in the next update, Telegram will allow users to add shortcuts to launch Web bots from the Android app's side menu.
This feature might be available exclusively to select partner bots. It's highly probable that this shortcut feature was specifically designed for @Wallet, but it might be utilized for other partner bots in the future.
The Web bot platform itself has been renamed to Mini Apps, and using them will require users to accept separate terms of service.
Previously, an ability for Web-bots to store their data on Telegram servers was spotted in the app, with the data being synchronized across the user's devices. @tginfo speculates that this feature could've been developed for the recently announced non-custodial TON wallet. Testing suggests that the data storage feature in Telegram might also be exclusive to select partner bots.
It's important to note that all this information is based on speculations from the Beta version of the app, so the features might undergo some changes by the time of release.

New Features for Boosted Channels
Pavel Durov commented about latest version of the messenger, in which a new system of boosts from subscribers was created for Telegram channels. In his post, he shared details about which new options will channels receive thanks to this system.
So, in the future, boosts will open up some other features for Telegram channels, in addition to the already existing possibility to post stories on behalf of the channels - for example, custom reactions to posts, emoji statuses and custom backgrounds.
Telegram is also going to add additional ways for channels to receive boosts. Pavel Durov has not yet specified what these methods will be.

Mentions of Telegram Premium Giveaways Functionality on Fragment
@tginfo noticed Telegram Premium giveaways functionality added to Fragment.com's codebase. The change was detected thanks to @tgcrawl's automated analysis. Earlier we've already reported about this feature surfacing in Telegram for macOS localization files.

Other noteworthy mentions in the code
• Ability to specify the number of subscriptions.
• Ability to specify the number of months — probably for Premium duration.
• There's a possible fee for the giveaway functionality.
• You can find Premium recipients using search.
• The UI has mentions for boosts, but their context is unclear.
It's important to keep in mind that the provided info is a set of assumptions based off the Fragment's code that surfaced, so the functionality may be significantly different on its release. At the moment of writing, the mentioned code was already removed.

Changes in The Telegram Boost System
On November 6th, administrators of channels gained the ability to organize giveaways. At the same time, the logic of receiving and using boosts changed. The @tginfo team explains all the main changes in the boost system.
Boost for users
Now users receive:
• 4 boosts for buying a paid subscription;
• 3 boosts for gifting a subscription to another user;
• 1 boost for receiving a subscription as a gift from another user.
• No boots for receiving a subscription as a gift from a channel.
Each boost is available to a user throughout the entire period of validity of the corresponding Premium subscription. For example, if you bought a 12-month subscription, you will have four boosts for one year. If you gifted a 3-month subscription to your friend, he will have three additional boosts for three months.
Using boosts
A user can give all their boosts to one or several channels. If they didn't give away all their boosts before November 6th, then after this date the may have a few new unused boosts.
Viewing information about boosts
A user can see information about their boosts only when they have given away all their boosts: until then this information is not available to them. If a user without any free boosts tries to boost a channel, the app will show a list of used boosts with information about their validity periods and the channels they were given to.
Boosts for channels
Before November 6th, a channel had to gain a certain number of boosts to progress to the next level. After November 6th, this number was increased — to 0.4%.

The Beta version of Telegram for Android has introduced boosts in groups.
The @tginfo editors have talked about what features the boosts bring to the group here and here. However, some other features have been found in the Beta version 10.8.0:
• Only supergroups can be boosted. There is no such ability in regular groups.
• The number of boosts a group needs to get each new level is different than in channels. Let us remind you that in channels this number is equal to the total number of subscribers divided by 250. The formula for groups is still unknown, but it is already clear that each level in a group requires much more boosts: probably, for groups the total number of members is divided by 25.
• The number of boosts is displayed next to the messages of those members who have given their boosts to the group. Apparently, it is not possible to disable the display of this information.
• The service message that someone has transferred their boosts is not always displayed in groups.
