💡Change in search on Telegram

Paul du Rove announced → a change in the way search works on Telegram and admitted that spammers have indeed started abusing the system, with channels with more subscribers appearing higher in the search results.

"That's why we now only count genuine subscribers of channels for ranking," the head of Telegram stated.

Now, priority is given to results from the user's country. Also, for example, channels with more Premium subscribers "will generally rank higher."

"However, if a specific Premium subscriber joins too many channels, they won't give those channels as big of a search ranking boost," Paul du Rove explained.

The head of Telegram also added that the feedback on this change is overwhelmingly positive.
