Premium Subscriptions Won Through Giveaways Can No Longer Be Transferred to Other Users

Our subscribers report that winners of Telegram Premium subscription giveaways, organized on channels, no longer receive activation codes for the subscriptions. Instead, the subscription automatically appears on their account.

The @tginfo editorial team has no information about the reasons for the change in the giveaway process, nor what happens if the giveaway winner already has an active subscription that they purchased themselves.

Telegram Again Displays The MAU of Bots

About one day ago, users noticed that Telegram had once again started displaying the number of monthly active users (MAU) of some bots.

Observations from our subscribers indicate that the MAU is only displayed when this value exceeds 10,000. However, there are exceptions: for example, the @wallet bot, which undoubtedly has many more users.

The @tginfo editors have no information about whether the platform really uses this value as a limit, or whether there are other factors that affect the display of MAU.
