Telegram Rolls Out New Features!
Telegram has updated its Android and iOS applications to version 11.13.0 as of July 2025. Among the most notable innovations arriving with the new version are direct monetization mechanisms for content, checklists, and tools to increase user engagement in channels. Telegram has unveiled new features.
The checklist feature, offered to Telegram Premium subscribers, aims to facilitate individual or team-based task management. Users can now create to-do lists in any chat. Detailed permissions can be set for these lists, such as which users can mark items or add new tasks. The feature can be used in one-on-one chats, groups, and saved messages.
One of the changes made to channels is the suggested posts system. With this system, users can directly suggest content to the channels they follow. These posts, prepared for sharing, reach the channel administrator as a message, and options like scheduling and content approval are left to the channel owner.
Suggested content is not only for sharing but is also supported by a financial incentive system. Users suggesting content can offer rewards to channel managers using Telegram Stars or Toncoin for their posts to be published. The reward is automatically transferred 24 hours after the post is shared. If the post is removed early, the payment is refunded. It's possible to acquire a large number of Stars via Fragment or @PremiumBot. According to Telegram's statement, Star payments can be refunded within 21 days, but there is no refund option for Toncoin payments.
Telegram states that this system allows for content collection and affiliate promotions without leaving the application. At the same time, privacy is emphasized; the content flow remains within Telegram, managed without redirection to external sources.
