You can no longer gift cheap Telegram Premium subscriptions to users from other countries In the latest update, it became possible to gift a premium subscription to other users. To save money, some users began to gift Premium subscriptions through accounts…
What determines the price of Telegram Premium
Yesterday, on Valentine's Day, Telegram announced a promotion that allowed you to gift a Premium subscription to another user with a discount of up to 40%.
Many users noticed that discount size was less than they expected, and some even saw that on February 13 the subscription price was increased.
Here is what @tginfoen has learned about Premium pricing:
1. First of all prices (both for subscription for me and for subscription as a gift) are calculated in dollars, and then converted into user's local currency. Here is how the conversion works: Telegram Premium FAQ - Can I pay in my local currency.
2. Prices for a subscription for me and a subscription as a gift are calculated differently: the price "for me" depends on user's location based on user's phone number, and the price of a gift depends neither on the location of the giver nor on the location of the recipient.
3. The price of gifts is recalculated every hour. Whether the original price in dollars changes, or only changes in the exchange rate are taken into account, is unknown.
We will continue to find out the details of how the price of Telegram Premium is determined in different situations.

Telegram's EU Audience Reaches 38.5 Million People, or 8.5% of Population
Over the past six months, the audience of Telegram in the European Union has averaged 38.5 million people, which represents 8.5% of the population. These figures were published on the Telegram FAQ page (which is only accessible from a European IP address).
As a result, Telegram will not be subject to the Digital Services Act (DSA) for the time being, as it is used by fewer than 45 million users in the European Union.
Starting in February 2024, all digital platforms with an audience of over 45 million users in the EU will be required to disclose to regulators information about their algorithms, advertisers' access to data, content moderation decisions, and may be subject to external audits.

Now it's easier to gift Telegram Premium
Developers have improved the @PremiumBot.
Now you can gift somebody with the subscription by sending /gift command, which makes a special button show up. The button allows you to pick a user from your chat list. The list is filtered to only show contacts, non-contacts, and bots.
If you will try to gift the subscription to a user with an active Premium subscription or a bot, the bot will respond with following message:
"This bot can't help you purchase Telegram Premium as a Gift for this user. This could be because the user already has a Telegram Premium subscription."

Earlier we reported that starting from February 18, when authorizing in unofficial applications, users will not be able to request authorization codes in the form of SMS or phone calls, and that such codes will only come in other active sessions.
To date, the editors know that:
1. The first messages from users of unofficial applications that they cannot receive an authorization code in the form of a phone call or SMS began to arrive only on February 20-21.
2. Many of these users do not receive authorization codes even in active sessions: the user logs into the account in the official application, then starts authorization in the unofficial one and ... nothing happens: the code does not come anywhere at all.
We continue to monitor the situation.

Clarification on the law of digital services
Previously, we wrote that, due to the size of the audience, Telegram is not subject to Digital Services Act (DSA).
It is important to point out that the law has its own requirements for different organizations. For the “Very large online platform” group, the content moderation requirement applies, which Telegram bypassed. At the same time, the messenger is obliged to comply with the requirements that apply to any organization belonging to the “Online Platform” category.
As such, Telegram remains bound by other relevant laws and regulations. For example, in some jurisdictions, Telegram may be required to comply with court orders to provide user data or assist in investigations, as well as comply with certain regulations related to privacy and data protection.

Telegram fights account hijacking
Over the past few months, the activity of scammers trying to steal Telegram user accounts has increased significantly.
Over the past month, our readers have reported that they sometimes get kicked out of their accounts, and after re-logging in, they find that all messages sent by them in private chats in the last few hours or days are deleted for both interlocutors.
We suppose that these measures may be an attempt by the Telegram platform to combat account hijacking.
@tginfoen strongly recommend to subscribers to keep their account information up to date:
1. Do not keep accounts on SIM cards that are not accessible. If you do not have access to a SIM card with an account phone number, then you have a risk or losing access to this account at any time. Recall: Telegram allows you to change the phone number of account without losing chats and contacts.
2. Remember your cloud password or check access to the email specified to recover it.
3. If your account has been switched to authorization by e-mail then make sure that you have access to the corresponding e-mail box.
4. Use local passcode on your smartphone and especially in Telegram Desktop: it encrypts local date stored on your your PC and prevents using this data by intruders even if they steal it.
