📰 Version 12.1 will introduce the ability to suggest birthday dates to your contacts. 🗓 Contacts can choose their own birthday, distinct from your suggested ones. To suggest a birthday date, open your contact's edit screen and click the appropriate button. This feature works even if the contact has previously set a birthday but is hidden from you.

📰 What would an update be without gifts? In 12.1, all the new features related to gifts are:
• For 1000 stars, you can remove description (sender/date/comment) from a gift that hasn't been minted to the blockchain.
• An indicator of the remaining number of possible premium gift sends directly in the "Send Gift" menu.
• The last date of a unique gift sent to you and the date of a rare gift you were given before it was upgraded.
• Detailed information about the price reduction for gift upgrades - the exact date and time of the next and final price reduction.

Permanently remove description from you gift for ⭐️

🎉ANNIVERSARY: “CHANNEL” — 10 YEARS! 🎉

📰 On September 22, 2015, the September update of Telegram was released, which, in addition to channels, added support for notifications in iOS 9 and a modest photo editor.

At that time, the channels were also modest - the blog states that the channels are better in all respects than the «broadcast lists» presented in August 2014 - the first anniversary of the messenger. 😌 Namely: view counter in each message, can be public, can have an unlimited number of subscribers, can see all posts and other features.

🥳 Congratulations to every admin on this loud date! After all, channels are the most important update that turned the Messenger upside down forever!
