Telegram Introduces Third-Party Verification to Tackle Scams and Misinformation

The new feature allows verified organizations to authenticate other accounts, aiming to improve trust and safety on the platform.

Telegram's new third-party verification system enables already-verified organizations to authenticate other accounts and chats.
Accounts verified through this process will display a unique icon and a banner explaining the verification source and criteria.
The initiative is intended to reduce scams and misinformation, offering a decentralized approach to account verification.
Additional updates include search filters for private chats, group chats, and channels, as well as custom emojis for folder names.
Telegram also introduced collectible digital gifts that can be upgraded to NFTs and traded, alongside new reactions for service messages.
