🏆 Miglior robot di Telegram 2018

Il team di InsideTelegram insieme a @DazFather (il ragazzo che fa molte cose interessanti e ha diversi progetti per le mani), in collaborazione con altre comunità di Telegram hanno deciso di mettere in atto una piccola competizione a suon di bot.

Lo scopo di questa sfida è quello di dare la possibilità agli sviluppatori di far conoscere i propri progetti e le proprie capacità. Questo perché in questi anni abbiamo osservato che all'interno di Telegram esistono moltissime comunità di sviluppatori e alcune sono dedicate esclusivamente allo sviluppo di bot. Quindi vogliamo dare la possibilità a questi bravissimi sviluppatori di farsi pubblicità, di far conoscere i propri lavori e di far capire agli altri quanto è bello e soprattutto quanto è difficile realizzare un bot di successo.

Il regolamento di questo concorso è 👉🏻qui.

Ovviamente è inutile dirvi che i partecipanti al contest verranno intervistati da noi di InsideTelegram e l'intervista sarà pubblicata nel nostro blog in una categoria dedicata proprio a questo contest

As you might have heard, for the last couple of years we’ve been quietly rebuilding Telegram for iOS from scratch with Swift – a programming language released by Apple as a faster alternative to Objective C.

The Swift version of Telegram looks exactly as the old one, but is faster, slicker and more battery-friendly than the good old Telegram (which was already great considering it outperformed other messaging apps in speed).

This new Telegram has been available for everyone to download under the name “Telegram X” since January. Thousands of users have been testing it and sharing their feedback with us, so thanks to them the app is now much more polished than a few months ago. While we are still putting some finishing touches on it, it seems that the new Telegram is ready to be shipped to every Telegram user on iOS.

That’s why within the next week or two we are planning to update the default Telegram iOS App with the Swift version. As a result, Telegram will become faster, slicker and more efficient. Since it will rely on an entirely new codebase, some minor bugs and glitches might occur, but we’ll make sure they are quickly – or should I say “swiftly” – fixed.

This change will make Telegram the most popular messaging app written fully in Swift. Some would say it’s a big risk, but I think somebody has to take such risks and be the first to implement new technologies, such as e2e encryption – or Swift.

🕴Telegram marketing, la nuova frontiera del business Di Flavius Florin Harabor

Telegram viene identificata molto spesso come semplice applicazione per la messaggistica istantanea, però non è così. Questo perché ormai siamo davanti a uno strumento che dà alle persone la possibilità di comunicare con amici, colleghi e parenti, ma allo stesso tempo intorno a questo progetto sono nati tantissimi altri strumenti che rendono Telegram un coltellino svizzero per il business.

Some tech media reported that the Telegram Desktop app wasn’t secure because it “leaked IP addresses” when used to accept a voice call.

The reality is much less sensational – Telegram Desktop was at least as secure as other encrypted VoIP apps even before we improved it by adding an option to disable peer-to-peer calls. As for Telegram calls on mobile, they were always more secure than the competition, because they had this setting since day one.

During a peer-to-peer (P2P) call, voice traffic flows directly from one participant of a call to the other without relying on an intermediary server. P2P routing allows to achieve higher quality calls with lower latency, so the current industry standard is to have P2P switched on by default.

However, there’s a catch: by definition, both devices participating in a P2P call have to know the IP addresses of each other. So if you make or accept a call, the person on the other side may in theory learn your IP address.

That’s why, unlike WhatsApp or Viber, Telegram always gave its users the ability to switch off P2P calls and relay them through a Telegram server. Moreover, in most countries we switched off P2P by default.

Telegram Desktop, which is used in less than 0.01% of Telegram calls, was the only platform where this setting was missing. Thanks to a researcher who pointed that out, we made the Telegram Desktop experience consistent with the rest of our apps.

However, it is important to put this into perspective and realize that this is about one Telegram app (Telegram Desktop) being somewhat less secure than other Telegram apps (e.g. Telegram for iOS or Android). If you compare Telegram with other popular messaging services our there, unfortunately, they are not even close to our standards.

Using the terminology from the flashy headlines, WhatsApp, Viber and the rest have been “leaking your IP address” in 100% of calls. They are still doing this, and you can't opt out. The only way to stop this is to have all your friends switch to Telegram.

🚨 Alcuni amici russi ci hanno mandato questo screen molto interessante. Pare che nella versione beta di Telegram Desktop per macOS, è ora possibile modificare l'immagine prima di inviarla. Come potete vedere da questo screenshot, il tanto atteso editor di immagini sta per arrivare anche sui client desktop. Per il momento le funzioni sono: ruotare, riflettere e ritagliare
