Curiosity: what happens if Telegram want some alias that is already used by other user?

ℹ️ @geeksChannel

✳️ TELEGRAM | CURIOSITIES ✳️

Sometimes Telegram creates channels in order to use them for official purposes (like @username, @desktop., @ISISwatch..). But sometimes, alias is not available because is taken by other user.

❓ But, what happens in that case?
➡️ Telegram expropriates you the alias.

For example, look what happened with @androidThemes, yesterday was a channel ruled by someone, and today he noticed that his alias was moved to @androidThemes_mv.

The bad part of this is that in this particular case Telegram did not notify creator.

Durov was mentioned in a Wired post about online privacy:

Meet the innovators fighting for your right to privacy online

As Facebook increasingly reached further into the personal data of its users, Durov, with personal experience of the power of the surveillance state, placed himself firmly on the side of the privacy advocates. In 2013 he launched the encrypted messaging app, Telegram. In addition to perfect forward secrecy - ensuring key compromise won't reveal the content of previous communications - Telegram supports self-destructing messages and public key fingerprint verification.

Official information about Telegram v3.18 (voicecalls update):

A big update is coming to Telegram soon. It is currently delayed because Apple is keeping the iOS version "In review" – it's been stuck like that for more than 10 days.

✳️ TELEGRAM V 3.18 ✳️

— Voice Calls: Secure, Crystal-Clear, AI-Powered

— Secure:
To make sure your call is 100% secure, you and your recipient just need to compare four emoji over the phone. No lengthy codes or complicated pictures!

— Super-Fast:
Whenever possible, your calls will go over a peer-to-peer connection, using the best audio codecs to save traffic while providing crystal-clear quality.

— AI-Powered:
Each time you make a Voice Call on Telegram, a neural network learns from your and your device‘s feedback (naturally, it doesn’t have access to the contents of the conversation, it has only technical information such as network speed, ping times, packet loss percentage, etc.).

— Complete Control:
On Telegram, you can control who can and who can't call you with granular precision.
