Telegram Introduces Third-Party Verification, Message Filters, And Collectibles.

Telegram’s first update of the year brings new features, including third-party verification, message search filters, and collectible gifts.

The app now allows verified accounts to act as third-party verifiers for other users, aimed at reducing scams and misinformation. While these accounts won’t receive Telegram’s blue checkmark, they’ll display unique icons created by the verifiers, offering transparency through profile links.

Message search filters let users narrow results to private chats, group chats, or channels in the Chats tab. Additionally, Telegram is introducing collectible gifts that can be auctioned on NFT marketplaces.

Other updates include custom emojis for Premium users, a QR code scanner for browser redirection, and reactions to service messages. Telegram also announced achieving profitability in 2024, driven by subscriptions and ad features.
