Only two per week. Premium subscribers still have unlimited A new version of the Telegram messenger has appeared for the iOS and Android operating systems. Among the innovations are recommendations of similar channels: when joining a channel, the user will see a list of similar public channels - they are selected automatically by the application. In addition, you can now repost the stories of friends and channels, and the story can be supplemented with your own text, audio track or video commentary. And you can select the circle of users who will be able to see the repost. The developers note that in order to protect privacy, you can only repost stories that are visible to everyone. [caption id="attachment_85233" align="aligncenter" width="387"] Telegram[/caption] Transcription of audio messages in Telegram has become available to all users In the new version of Telegram 10.3, decryption of voice and video messages has become available for all users. Let us remind you that since last year this opportunity has become available to owners of a Premium subscription. This feature allows you to quickly read the content of an audio message and even translate it into another language. However, users without a subscription can decrypt only 2 messages per week, while in the Premium version their number is unlimited. The developers note that this feature will appear in various regions gradually. [caption id="attachment_85234" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Telegram[/caption] Users also have the opportunity to add video messages on top of stories with their comments or simply an eloquent facial expression. Such video messages can be edited: changed size, moved to any point on the screen, and also selected the start and end point. There are also new features for Premium subscribers, in particular the ability to choose unique color combinations with logos for the profile to further emphasize the individuality of the page, as well as set individual wallpapers for individual chats for both yourself and the interlocutor (“free” users can use different wallpapers for chats only at home).

The number of subscription votes has increased The Telegram team has launched a fresh major update to the popular messenger. One of the most important innovations of the update is that channel owners can now hold sweepstakes, randomly distributing prizes among subscribers. [caption id="attachment_80815" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Telegram update[/caption] Channel owners can create a giveaway and set the conditions for it with just a couple of clicks. At the end of the drawing, Telegram will randomly select winners from among users who meet the specified criteria. Winners receive gift codes, which can serve as public confirmation of winning the drawing. Each gift code activates a free Telegram Premium subscription, but organizers can add their own prizes to the subscription.  [caption id="attachment_80816" align="alignnone" width="600"] Telegram update[/caption] In addition to the number of winners and the duration of the drawing, the organizers, if desired, can limit the number of participants only to new channel subscribers or residents of certain countries. You can also specify additional channels that users need to subscribe to in order to participate in the drawing. Big Telegram update: prize draws in channels and free Premium subscription [caption id="attachment_80817" align="aligncenter" width="385"] Telegram update[/caption] Before the start of the drawing, the organizer must pay for the selected number of Premium subscriptions. [caption id="attachment_80818" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Telegram update[/caption] In addition, with the launch of the update, the developers increased the number of votes provided for the Premium subscription. Now users who pay for the subscription themselves receive 4 votes, which can be given to one channel or distributed among several. Telegram explained: If you give Telegram Premium to another user, he gets 1 vote, and you get 3 additional ones. If you get a subscription for winning the drawing, all 4 votes will remain with the organizing channel. Telegram founder Pavel Durov has already taken advantage of the new function . He launched a drawing for 10,000 subscriptions to Telegram Premium for six months.
