New Features in Telegram 2025
Monetizing Messages: How to Earn Stars
In March 2025, users gained the ability to set a price for messages:
- In private chats, Premium subscribers can utilize the “Privacy” settings to create a list of contacts who will owe the account owner “stars” for each message sent. There is also an option to enable payment requests for all users not included in the contact list. Ultimately, the owner will receive 85% of the paid stars.
- In supergroups, administrators have the capability to set a price for messages from all members through the “Permissions” tab.
Received stars can be withdrawn via the Fragment.com platform or used from the balance to subscribe to Telegram Premium.
New Telegram Interlocutors: What Can You Learn?
The new version of Telegram allows you to obtain information about a user who is not in your contact list but who initiated the conversation. As a result, you can find out:
- When the account was registered (year and month), when the avatar and/or name was changed, if there is a third party verification icon and if there is an official confirmation of the account by Telegram itself.
- The country that issued the phone number used to register the account.
How to Unblock a Telegram Account?
In the near future, a new feature may appear: for violations of the platform’s usage rules, Telegram will freeze users’ accounts. After that, violators will be able to read only and will not have the ability to send messages to other users.
- “Frozen accounts” will be specially marked in Telegram;
- The situation can be appealed through a bot;
- If the situation cannot be resolved, the account will be permanently deleted.
