Telegram has released a major update to version 12.4 for iOS and Android, in which developers introduced a number of key changes. One of the most significant was the removal of restrictions on publishing stories: now the function is available to all users, including in Russia, Ukraine and Iran, without the need for a Premium subscription. But you can only post one story a day.
In addition, there was a visual update to the interface: Android received a Liquid Glass style design, and iOS received minor edits to the design.
Among other innovations is the function of creating gifts, which allows you to combine four identical virtual presentations to create a unique collectible item. Also, colored buttons have been added for bots, group administrators have begun to receive notifications about the departure of participants, and a number of minor improvements have been implemented in the messenger to improve usability.
