As with anything on Telegram, further updates will bring more powerful tools for both admins and users of this feature.
Collectible Usernames
Telegram users can make it easy for others to contact them or find their public groups and channels via usernames.
In addition to one basic username, you can now assign multiple collectible usernames to each of your accounts and public chats. The ownership of collectible usernames is secured by TON, a fast and scalable blockchain network. They can be bought and sold through a new platform, giving a simple and secure way to acquire and exchange valuable Telegram domains.
Collectible usernames work just like basic @usernames, they appear in Global Search results and have their own links that can be used outside of Telegram: username.t.me and t.me/username.
Unlike basic usernames, collectible usernames can be less than 5 characters long – making it possible to get unique names like @news or @game. Once acquired, a user has full control over their collectible username, able to trade it or retain it for later use.
You can deactivate any of your collectible usernames – making them invisible in search results without losing the name.
Redesigned Night Mode for iOS
Dark themes have been updated for users on iOS, making colors more balanced with better blurring effects as you scroll in chats and the chat list.
