Star Giveaways and More

Star Giveaways and More

With today's update, groups and channels can use Telegram Stars as prizes in Giveaways. Also, any article you open in the Telegram Browser can now be converted to Instant View, making it easy to read.

Star Giveaways

Channel and group owners can host giveaways to promote their communities and reward random members with prizes — in exchange, they earn boosts which unlock posting channel stories and other perks.

In addition to Telegram Premium subscriptions and real-world prizes, you can now give away Telegram Stars as well. Winners can spend their Stars on paid media and exclusive subscriptions in channels — or in games and mini apps on the Telegram platform.

Just in case you want a meteor shower in your channel. 😌

Giveaways are prepaid and completely transparent — with customizable settings for organizers.

Channel owners can start a giveaway via Channel Settings > Statistics > Boosts. For groups, go to Group Info > Statistics > Boosts.

The App Store and Google Play limit the size of transactions — but with @PremiumBot you can create larger giveaways at a lower cost.

Instant View for Telegram Browser

In 2016, Telegram launched the Instant View standard — which automatically optimizes articles into perfectly formatted pages for your device with zero load times. This feature works for thousands of the most popular sites.

Telegram's in-app browser can now convert any article you are viewing into a more readable, lightweight layout.

Just in case you like to choose your own distractions. 😌

To change a page to Instant View format, open the browser menu and select Show Instant View.

This new functionality was made possible thanks to Mozilla’s open source library.

Fewer Bugs and More Optimization

Our team also set aside some special time last month to fix bugs and increase performance across Telegram's mobile and desktop apps. Thank you for all the user reports on our dedicated Bug Platform!

You can also leave your feature requests on our Suggestions Platform.

Mini App Improvements

Several bug fixes were implemented for mini apps – making them even smoother and more responsive, along with new button options for developers.

Instead of just one button, mini apps can now display two buttons at a time in a side-by-side or stacked orientation. We also implemented a new shimmer effect for buttons that can be used to attract attention and guide users.

Just in case you need a button with your button. 😌

Developers can see the full details in our latest Bot API update.

10 Million Premium Subscribers

This month, Telegram surpassed 10 million Premium subscribers — a 2x increase in less than 8 months. This growth helps support our goal of sustainable monetization that prioritizes users and their privacy.

We thank all of our Premium subscribers for their continued support — which allows Telegram to continue creating powerful features that change how nearly one billion people communicate.

That's all for today's update, we'll be back to give away more features very soon.
