Telegram calls are protected by end-to-end encryption, which can be easily verified by comparing the emoji that appear on screen. If the emoji match for all participants, the call is 100% secure. In group calls, the emoji will update any time someone joins or leaves.
Telegram’s secure 1-on-1 calls can now be easily expanded to hold up to 200 users. You can add users directly to an active call – or have them join with a link or QR code.
Gifts on your profile can now be pinned in any order to highlight your best collectibles at the top of your page – and on your cover photo.
You can now use your Stars to gift Telegram Premium to friends – unlocking exclusive features like faster downloads, custom emoji and more. You can passively earn Stars by • Enabling Star Messages • Joining Affiliate Programs • Converting Telegram Gifts

When sharing a link to a video in Telegram, you can include the current timestamp in the link.
You can now search through millions of custom stickers and emoji uploaded by Telegram users – with support for 29 languages.
