🤖Telegram Mini Apps 2.0 Update

Today, Telegram Mini Apps 2.0 was announced, introduced as the largest update to mini-apps.

Key Updates:
- Fullscreen Mode: Mini-apps can now utilize the entire screen, unlocking new possibilities for various game genres and interfaces.

- Device Motion Tracking: Enables unique game control mechanisms and immersive VR experiences through the use of accelerometer.

- Quick Access Shortcuts: Users can now add shortcuts to individual mini-apps directly on their home screen for instant access to favorite games and services.

- Location Sharing: Mini-apps can access users’ location, paving the way for location-based games and interactive maps (think Pokémon Go).

- Rewards and Media Sharing: Mini-apps can grant Star gifts to their users for achievements and emoji statuses for Telegram Premium users. New media sharing features allow for sending referral codes and memes from within apps, as well as create documents and files for download.

- Enhanced Developer Tools: Developers can offer subscription plans within their apps, monetizing their efforts through different tiers of content and features. They can access basic hardware information of the device to improve graphics or customize the splash screen.

Some of the new features are already available for testing in apps such as @playdeckbot and @major (Major Maze).

This is just a small step for the promising development of Telegram Mini Apps, and we hope to see even more exciting games with in-game lore and fresh mechanics in the near future.
