2021-12-06 20:04:19 Telegram has updated its client in Huawei AppGallery

Telegram is switching to a new user ID system. Because of that, Telegram disabled signing up on old versions of Telegram apps.

Telegram for Android has not been updated in App Gallery (Huawei's app store) for a long time, but now the client has been updated and this problem has been solved.

Remember that Google services are not available on Huawei devices, that's why you can download applications only in Huawei's own store or from websites.

2021-12-02 22:45:10 Update Your Telegram App!

Telegram is switching to a new user ID system. Because of that, Telegram disabled signing up on old versions of Telegram apps.

To keep access to all features of the messenger, it's strongly recommended to update your app to the most recent version.

Telegram will work correctly if your app is as old or newer than:

— Telegram for Android 8.2.7
— Telegram X for Android 0.24.0.1439
— Telegram for iOS 8.2.2
— Telegram Desktop 3.2.5
— Telegram macOS 8.2.0.
— Unigram: 8.0.6614.

Don't worry if your device is 32bit: 32bit processors can work with 64bit numbers. Open / Comment

2021-12-02 13:23:31 Telegram sends messages to third-party client developers

In the message, the messenger informs about the requirements on the platform:

- Developers need to add support for the new IDs so Telegram can work with billions of accounts, groups and channels.
- Apps must support and display correctly official sponsored messages until January 1, 2022.
- Developers are allowed to monetize apps through their own advertising or other legal means, provided that all monetization methods used in their apps are clearly mentioned in their app store descriptions.

If the rules are ignored, Telegram will disable the applications that violate them. Open / Comment

2021-11-30 16:25:32 Telegram introduces a new user authentication system

In the upcoming update, the messenger will change the authorization system. The principle of the scheme is that when entering the application, a call will be made to the number associated with the account, the user needs a few digits from this number. The new system will not completely replace the old one, but will be introduced to some mobile devices.

In addition, in the next updates, there may be an option to remember the Telegram application of the account from which the user previously logged into the system. This will significantly reduce the amount of time needed to login.

The likely reason for this step is saving money to meet the needs of the project; user verification via SMS requires about a quarter of all funds.

Remember that earlier authorization via SMS was removed from Telegram clients for PC and from browser versions of Telegram. Open / Comment
