Telegram Is Working On Citations

The @tginfo editors noticed ongoing work on citations on multiple occasions. This might indicate the feature will appear in future updates.

The Telegram API contains support for quote blocks since 2019, but it never was used in the official apps.

What tells us the feature is being prepared
• Telegram changed the API related to citations, moving it to an unpublished yet Layer 166.
• The Telegram for Android banner from the website shows a screenshot with a different replies UI. In particular, you can see the ❞ icon on one of the messages.

We speculate that in one of the future updates the messenger will provide options to manually create citation blocks in any parts of your messages, reply to the selected part of a message. These features might bring ability to, for example, reply to a message in a different chat by citing it.

Keep in mind that all the info here is a set of speculations and that there was no official announcement for the feature. Thus, the features may change drastically on release.

Unclickable Images in Link Previews, Worse Forwarding UX, and Other Downgrades

Sometimes Telegram, in favor of new features, overhauls its interface, and not always for the better. Occasionally, they even remove useful features.

This time, the messenger's developers altered the message reply system and link previews — the new interface has done away with some features users had grown accustomed to.

The team at @tginfo reports what features the latest update has either removed or, in our opinion, degraded, and also how Telegram could potentially rectify this.

YouTube increased the price of its premium service subscription in a group of countries around the world.

🔺 Prices vary depending on geographic region, type of service, and subscriptions.

🔺 The change comes after YouTube launched a global update that prevents users from using the ad blocker on YouTube, which displays a pop-up window that prohibits the user from watching videos until after removing the ad blocker or moving to a premium subscription.

Telegram enforces penalties for sending Open Message links

Our users have reported that if you send a link that starts with tg open message (without spaces) to another user in a private chat, you may face consequences, including being kicked out of your account or receiving a spam ban. In some cases, the punishment may be even more severe, including the deletion of your account or the blocking of your phone number.

The @tginfo editorial team strongly advises against sending such links in private chats or any other types of chats (groups, bots, channels) in the near future.

P.S. Please remember that these links can be used to reference a user by their (numeric) ID.
P.P.S. The issue was initially reported by the user @Mrak_a; The editorial team thanks him for the information.
