Communities Are Now Being Tested in Telegram

In Telegram beta for Android, version 12.9, users can now organize communities that bring theme-related chats closer together.

The details:

• Chats Only: At the moment, only chats can be added to communities.

• How to Join: Telegram treats you as a member of a community if you join any chat linked to that community.

• What This Offers: If a chat is linked to a community, this is highlighted on the chat's profile page. From there, members can navigate to other chats in the community. Members can view the list of all “visible” chats in the community and join them.

• Chats Stay Independent: Telegram won’t add you to other chats in the community automatically. Different owners can offer to add their chats to a community.

• Can Merge Visually: Community chats can display separately or merge into a single item. This behavior is controlled by community admins using the “Show as One Chat” toggle. When it’s active, the community looks similar to forums, but each topic is instead an independent chat you can join.

• Hidden Chats: A chat can be added to a community with “hidden” visibility. A hidden chat can be seen only by those invited to it separately. This is similar to general and hidden channels in Discord servers. Members of the hidden chat can navigate into the community, while other community members can’t see the hidden chat.

• If We Should Expect Channels: The app code mentions adding channels, but the feature is unavailable, so it’s not clear whether it will be added in the future.

Creating communities is available only on the test server at the moment. You can add your group chat to a community in chat settings—just tap the “Add Group to a Community” option.

Chat automation for everyone

AI-Based Text Editor

An AI-based text editor has appeared in the Beta version of Telegram for Android 12.6. A few generations can be made for free, but Premium users are promised a "50x increase in limits".

The tool includes the following functionality:

• Translate mode: Provides text translation into any of the dozens of available languages, and allows you to further stylize the resulting translation using one of the preset styles.
• Stylize mode: Helps rephrase the message according to the selected style.
• Fix mode: Identifies errors in the text and suggests a corrected version as a replacement.

The Emojify option, available in the translation and stylization modes, automatically places emojis within the text.

To access the AI editor, you need to type at least three lines of text, and then tap the "Ai" button that appears on the right side of the message input field.

To save the changes and continue editing your message, tap the Apply button at the bottom of the editor.

This is preliminary information. Availability and limits are subject to change when the feature gets released.

#Android

Group members could have their own tag/nickname specific to this group

When viewing long posts in channels, you can instantly view summaries of their content. A summarized version of Instant View articles is automatically displayed at the top of those, as well.

To generate such excerpts, open-source models running on the decentralized Cocoon network are used.

Telegram Launches Passkey Auth Worldwide

Telegram added Passkeys as a login method, now rolling out globally. The key advantage of Passkeys is the ability to log into your account with a single touch, without entering your phone number and looking for an OTP code.

How to create a passkey:

• Ensure you have the latest version of the app (Android — 12.2.10; iOS — 12.2.3).

• This new feature must be configured in advance. Go to Settings › Privacy and Security › Passkeys.

• If the "Passkeys" option is missing, it is not yet available for your account.

• Tap "Add Passkey" and confirm its creation.

• Your device may request your screen lock code or biometrics to unlock the key storage.

• The created key will appear in the list.

How to log in using a passkey:

• On the latest version of Telegram for Android or iOS, the app will automatically offer to select a passkey for login.

• If this doesn't happen, a "log in with passkey" link will appear under the "Your phone number" header after a few seconds — tap it.

• Tapping the button launches your password manager, which prompts you to select a key, verifies your identity via face, fingerprint, or screen lock PIN, and then transmits the selected key to the messenger.

• The passkey functions as both the phone number and the one-time verification code simultaneously.

• If you have Two-Step Verification enabled, you will still need to enter your password you've set in Security settings.

Q&A:

1. Can I register a new account with a Passkey?
No, this feature works only as an alternative to logging in via SMS or email.

2. What happens if I lose my phone?
The key is stored on the device where it was created, but it can be synced with other devices via Google Password Manager, iCloud Passwords, or other applications.

You can check your password manager settings on your device:
• On Android: Open "Settings" and search for "Google Autofill". Ensure the correct Google account is selected in the password manager.
• On iOS: Open "Settings" and tap your name at the top. Select iCloud › Passwords. Ensure sync is enabled.

3. What if my phone or key is stolen?
The Passkey is securely stored in the encrypted enclave of your password manager — it cannot be intercepted or entered on a phishing site. Additionally, you can always remove the key associated with your account in Telegram's Security settings.

4. Are third-party password managers supported?
Yes. If you use a password manager that supports Passkeys (e.g., Bitwarden, KeePassDX) and enable it in your system's autofill settings, you can save your Telegram passkey there.

5. Which clients support Passkeys?
Keys are supported on the latest versions of official Telegram apps for Android, iOS, and Telegram Desktop (Windows only — requires Windows Hello).

Not supported: Telegram Desktop on macOS and Linux, Telegram for macOS (Swift), Telegram WebK and WebA, Telegram X. Any unofficial apps won't be supported in this update due to Passkey security requirements.

6. Can I have multiple keys for one account on one device?
Yes. A list will appear on the login screen, allowing you to select the desired profile.

If you have trouble setting up Passkeys on Android, please read our Passkeys Troubleshooting Guide for Android.
