Telegram's New Year Update is Here

Big changes are rolling out at Telegram:

:one: Verified by Third Parties:

Say goodbye to traditional blue checkmarks. Telegram now lets verified organizations, like food quality regulators or educational consortiums, authenticate accounts with a unique logo.

:star2: Why it matters:

This step combats misinformation and scams with a decentralized, proactive solution—a game-changer for safety on social platforms.

:two: Turning Gifts into NFTs:

You can now send gifts as NFTs with custom backgrounds/icons, tradable on platforms after spending Telegram Stars. (Blockchain costs covered!)

:three: Enhanced Search Filters:

Finding specific messages in private chats, groups, or channels is now easier than ever.

:four: New Emoji Reactions:

Celebrate group milestones like new members with fun, animated reactions.

Telegram continues to innovate in creator monetization, crypto payments, and messaging.
