Telegram for Android and iOS Updated to Version 11.8
The following features are now available to users in the new version of the applications:
Paid Messages
Users subscribed to Telegram Premium may now charge a fee for private messages. Contacts and those exempted are not subject to fees. The options for this feature are located in “Settings › Privacy and Security › Messages”. When “Charge for Messages” is selected, you may select the amount of stars required to send a message and users that are exempt from fees. 85% of the stars spent on fees go to the recipient of the messages, and Telegram takes the other 15%.
Paid Messages in Groups
Groups may also set a fee for sending messages, requiring that regular members of the group pay the selected fee for each message they send. When enabled, messages cannot be scheduled, and existing scheduled messages will fail to send. Like the fee for messages in 1-on-1 chats, 85% of the stars go to the group, and the other 15% go to Telegram.
Withdrawal of Stars
Users may now withdraw stars from their personal balance through the Fragment.com platform. The corresponding button is available in the “My Stars” section of the in-app settings.
Premium for Stars
Users may now gift and purchase Premium subscriptions using stars. At the moment, three months costs 1,000 stars, six months costs 1,500 stars, and a year costs 2,500 stars.
More Details About Your Chat Partner
When someone outside your contacts messages you for the first time, the following information is now displayed:
• Their country (based on their phone number).
• Any shared groups you have in common.
• When they joined Telegram.
• When they last updated their username or profile picture.
• Indicators showing whether the user is an official account, has third-party verification, or is just a regular user.
Pinning Collectible Gifts to Your Profile
Users may now pin collectible gifts to their profiles in “My Profile › Gifts”. To do this, long press the desired gift, and then press “Pin”. Pinned gifts are displayed at the top of their owner's profile in addition to being at the top of their public gifts, and on Android the first pinned gift sits atop the owner's profile picture.
Broadcasting Content From Telegram Using Google Cast
Users may now broadcast media, such as videos, photos, and music, to devices that support the Google Cast protocol.
The broadcast function is available from the media viewer and music player.

Fraudsters pretend to be @Wallet support
Over the past few days, there have been more and more cases of fraudsters pretending to be @wallet support. The user receives a message in a private chat stating that they urgently need to go through the verification procedure(“KYC”) in Wallet, and if they do not do this, they will lose access to their account.
After the victim follows the link, they receive a one-time authorization code. It can come either from a Telegram service account or by email. Having given this code to the attackers, the user soon discovers that their sessions has been terminated. And when trying to log back into their account, the user receives a message stating that their phone number has been blocked, or ends up in a new account.
Remember: if the "BLOCK" button is displayed at the top of a new private chat, it means that you have been contacted by fraudsters: there will be no such button in dialogues with Telegram service accounts.

Pavel Durov Promises to Improve Telegram Moderation
Pavel Durov testified before French judicial authorities and promised to improve content moderation.
Key points:
• Pavel Durov stated that “Telegram was not created for criminals” and promised that it would commit to improving its moderation procedures.
• Each month, the platform removes 15-20 million accounts and up to two million channels or groups for violations.
• In the first 6 months of 2024, Telegram disclosed data of more than 10,000 users.
The court noted that prior to Durov’s arrest, criminal use of Telegram was increasing. According to French gendarmerie, in the first 5 months of 2024, 535 criminal cases related to illegal activities on Telegram were opened in France. For comparison, there were 808 such cases throughout all of 2023.
The judges paid special attention to Telegram’s "People Nearby" feature, which was disabled after Durov’s arrest. This feature was suspected of facilitating illegal activities through geolocation, such as drug trafficking or pimping.
“In most countries, this function is used for good purposes, not for illegal ones,” Durov emphasized.
In December 2024, the messenger announced its first annual profit. However, Durov told investigators that the platform has a $2 billion debt.

Paid Messages in Groups
On the Telegram test server, users can set a fee for sending messages in their groups. Today, this feature works like this:
Settings
• You can enable paid messaging in the “Permissions” section of the group settings screen.
• Only administrators with the “Ban Users” permission can set up a fee for sending messages.
• The setting is only available in supergroups. It is not available in basic groups.
• If the setting is enabled, regular group members must pay for sending each message to this group. Sending messages remains free for administrators.
• 85% of the stars paid by members go to the group, and the other 15% go to Telegram. Only the owner of the group is able to see and withdraw the balance of the group.
Sending Messages
• If the paid message sending option is enabled in a group, then users will see the corresponding text in the empty input field, and instead of the send button, they will see a button with a price and an image of a star.
• For sending each message, an ordinary group member will have to pay the number of stars specified by the group administrators.
• In groups with paid messaging, it is not possible to schedule messages, and messages scheduled before paid messaging was enabled will not be sent at the scheduled time.
• There is no fee for editing messages that have already been sent.
• Sending an album of several media will cost youthe same amount as sending a single message as much as sending each media individually.
We remind you that authorization on the test server is unstable, as is the purchase of stars. Discussion of these issues in our group is prohibited.

Account Theft Using Fake Gift Message
The most popular method of stealing a Telegram account is still social engineering. Attackers convince the victim to provide their login details either by threatening ("Your account will be blocked within 24 hours if you do not log in to this site") or by promising some kind of benefit.
In recent days, users have increasingly reported receiving a fake message from attackers about a Telegram Premium subscription gift. The message contains a link that supposedly needs to be followed to receive the gift. When clicking on the link, the user is asked to enter their account details (phone number, one-time authorization code, and cloud password), which immediately fall into the hands of attackers.
Please be vigilant!
• Do not enter any account details in any bots or on any sites unless you are 200% sure that you are interacting with the official Telegram resource.
• Check the links you follow in Telegram: in mobile apps, just press and hold the link, and in Telegram Desktop, hover the mouse cursor over the link.
• Follow all other recommendations from the section “6. How to protect your account from theft?” of our article about account theft.

Non-Obvious Privacy Aspects When Sending Star Reactions
In August 2024, Telegram introduced the ability for users to send star reactions to channel posts, and in February 2025 — the ability to send such reactions not only on their own behalf, but also on behalf of any of their public channels.
The privacy settings for both types of reactions are not obvious. If you expect that no one will know your name, keep in mind the following:
1. When sending a paid reaction on your own behalf, the application allows you to disable the "Show me in Top Senders" option. If the user disables it, then neither their name nor their profile picture will be displayed to other channel subscribers, even if they are among the three donors who sent the most stars to the post.
However, even in this case, the owner of the channel to which the stars were sent will see the sender's name in the "Monetization" tab in the channel settings.
2. When sending a paid reaction, the application allows the user to select one of the public channels that they own. In this case, the list of the top 3 senders will not display the name of the sender, but the name of the channel that they chose.
However, the owner of the channel to which the stars were sent will see the sender's name in the "Monetization" tab in the channel settings. By comparing it with the list of top 3 senders of stars to a specific post, the channel owner can find out who exactly owns the channel on whose behalf the stars were sent.
Be careful: Telegram applications do not warn users sending star reactions about these nuances.

Issue with Link Snippets in Telegram

Star Gifts
Users can now send to other users not only pure stars, but also star gifts.
Each star gift is a sticker with a number of stars attached to it, as well as an optional text comment. The gift can be sent either on your own behalf or anonymously, and you can pay for it by your stars.
A user who has received a star gift has two options:
1. Pin a gift to their profile. In this case, other users will see this gift when they open the profile screen. However, stars from such a gift will not be credited to the recipient's balance.
2. Convert the gift to stars: transfer stars from a gift to their balance. A gift from which stars were transferred to the balance cannot be pinned to a profile, and if it was pinned there earlier, it disappears from there. When transferring stars from gift to your balance, you need to pay a 15% commission.
Another important change is that user can now pay for star gift by stars which are already on their balance. Let us remind you that previously, even if the sender had stars available on his balance, he still had to buy new ones to send them to someone as a gift.

Telegram Again Displays The MAU of Bots
About one day ago, users noticed that Telegram had once again started displaying the number of monthly active users (MAU) of some bots.
Observations from our subscribers indicate that the MAU is only displayed when this value exceeds 10,000. However, there are exceptions: for example, the @wallet bot, which undoubtedly has many more users.
The @tginfo editors have no information about whether the platform really uses this value as a limit, or whether there are other factors that affect the display of MAU.
