News and Tips
New #gifts! 🎁 — 50⭐️ — unlimited! Fact: This is the first unlimited gift to be redesigned and the first unlimited emoji not included in the Animated Emoji pack.
🎄 New Year's facts about gifts!

1. Compared to 2025-6, last year we received eleven limited gifts and one unlimited.
🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁 + 🍾.

2. In 2025-6, we only received two unlimited gifts and an auction gift that was not upgrades.
🎄🎁 & 🎁.

3. The regular bear, which costs 15 stars, has been replaced with a modified one, which «wears a hat», and costs 3 times as much, up to 50 stars.
I think normal will return after some time.

3.1. Please note that this is not the same gift, at least because the previously gifted regular bears remain in the profiles, and the two versions of the bears have different IDs.
🧸 5170233102089322756,
🎁 5956217000635139069.

4. The above fact.
This is the first unlimited gift to be redesigned and the first unlimited emoji not included in the Animated Emoji pack.


🏡 Happy New Year, subs!
Yours,
📰.

📰❗️ The International Journal of Computer Applications published a PDF document online stating that it's possible to recover messages and full-size images from the Telegram Web cache, and that deleted messages can also be retrieved from a RAM dump using FTK Imager.

Now, important: always clear the cache in your browser settings, or use incognito mode! Web versions don't have cache clearing or self-clearing functionality upon deauthorization.

📰 Redesign changes in Telegram for iOS 12.3.

— Two chat search buttons are now a conscious decision – they appear in the toolbar and, as before, at the top.
— The toolbar for selecting multiple contacts and chats has finally been redesigned.
— The segmented control in profiles has been redesigned – the "Posts, gifts, photos,…" line now looks fresh, like a folder list.
— The internal browser is now similar to Safari 26. It's now minimalist, and when scrolling vertically, the address bar collapses to a minimum, while other elements are simply hidden.
— The top bar has been redesigned. Elements are now broken into several droplets. This also applies to the "Chats" menu. Be careful that horizontal wallpapers may not display correctly, which is especially annoying.
— The warning message (pop-up) has also been redesigned; the text is no longer bold, and the eye is now more drawn to the large blue button.

👎 That's all there is to it, but I don't see the liquid glass aesthetic: full behavior, touch response, transformations, and conversions are absent even in the test without power saving, and we didn't see a context menu in this update. Another byte from Telegram in another blog.
