🥰 The new era of anonymity looks like this //

The New Year update of Telegram 9.3 will introduce public avatars — in the privacy settings, you can set a public profile picture that will be seen by absolutely all users.

Everyone else will continue to have access to your main profile image (i.e. all your uploaded photo and video avatars) if they are on your contacts or exclusion list.

You can also upload a public profile image if your profile pictures and videos are available to everyone, but there are exceptions for which they are hidden.
