Trusting a US-based company for secure communication was naive before today. But starting today, it is pure madness.

✳️ TELEGRAM | TIP ✳️
Problem: Can't take screenshots anywhere (Android)
Explanation: With the recent updates to Telegram, screenshots are disabled by default, if you have the passcode lock enabled.
You can change this setting by going to: Settings > Privacy and Security > Passcode lock, then enable Allow Screen Capture and restart the app.
When this option is enabled, you will be able to take screenshots of the app, but the system will display your chats in the task switcher when the passcode is on. Please also note that you need to have enough space in your device’s memory to save screenshots.

❓ Telegram answers to "Unread counter shows an extra +1" problem:
We're currently aware of this issue. It's being looked into right now, and we are hoping to get it fixed as soon as possible.
If you don't wish to wait for the fix, we can suggest a workaround: log in with our desktop app, find the group chat with an unread message there and open it to get rid of the extra notification.
Sorry for any inconvenience! We'll get back to you as soon as we have any news.

Meet the first five #BotPrize winners!
In this batch we focused on bots that have already gained massive popularity in some markets. The $200,000 that we divided between their developers will help create an even better experience for their existing and future users.
@icon8bot – a AI-based bot that allows you to apply great-looking filters to photos using neural networks and machine learning technology.
@integram_bot – a bot that allows you to set up integrations with third-party services for developers such as Trello, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and more.
@werewolfbot – a ‘Werewolf Game’ bot for group chats that gained popularity in SE Asia long before we launched our gaming platform last month.
@strangerbot – a bot that connects two random users to chat anonymously that gained huge popularity after going viral in Southern Europe.
