Good evening everyone, today we are releasing an update which, in addition to the innovations directly linked to the latest Telegram update, contains also other innovations that we have introduced in recent weeks.
😶🌫️ Users masked as channels
With the new update, Telegram allows each user to be able to write in groups, hiding through one of the channel where is the owner. This action can be abused both to spam and to do other harm in the groups of others.
For this reason we have created a new menu from which you can decide to prevent users from writing masked through channels, leaving them normally free to send messages directly with their profile.
To access it just send
/config in the group, and select "Masked users", everything is explained in detail.👉🏻 For now, we recommend that you select the "ban" option and activate message deletion, to keep your groups safe.
In fact, until new future updates, messages sent through a channel are ignored by the bot and therefore the classic checks and punishments (antispam, antiflood, etc.) will not be triggered.
On the other hand, it is possible to manually ban and unban channels using the classic commands
/ban and /unban.🤫 Silent commands
We have created a "silent" version of the classic commands to manually punish users:
•
/sban, /sunban
• /skick
• /smute, /sunmute
• /swarn, /sunwarn
that perform the classic action, but sending message in private chat to the user who launches the command, instead of sending the classic message in the group.🆕 Welcome and rules
The menu for setting the group regulation has been completely restyled and now allows you to set the message in a simpler way. Also it is now possible to set a media in the regulation.
The menu for setting the welcome message has also been similarly rearranged.
When exporting a
/backup it is now possible to choose whether to export the welcome and /or the regulation, regardless of the other settings, so as not to overwrite them in the group where the backup is imported.💥 Self-destruct messages 2.0
Telegram has introduced some time ago the possibility of self-destructing group messages, so we decided to evolve this function and make it usable only by PRO groups.
From now on it's possible:
• to select the type of messages to be deleted by the bot (text, photo/video, sticker/gif...)
• select which users to have messages deleted (based on roles)
🔤 Banned Words 2: Check on name
For ULTRAPRO groups, within the second list of banned words, it is possible to activate the check that these words are also present in the data of the user (name, surname, username) who sends the message, as well as on the message itself, possibly triggering a classic punishment and/or the deletion of the message.
📁 Other news
• When setting the exceptions for the Antispam it is now possible to forward a message from a channel that you want to whitelist, so as to make the control more secure and functional.
• We will continue to develop new features made possible by the new Telegram update: more updates will come in the coming weeks.
