Telegram received support for card payments in all chats and channels

Several new functions have appeared in the Telegram messenger from today. In particular, it became possible to accept payments by plastic cards in any chat, including groups and channels, using eight payment systems. You can also leave a tip to support the author, cafe, or store you like.

Payment is made without commissions. Payment details are sent directly to the payment system, and the delivery address is sent to the seller. You can test the payment system on this channel. To connect the store to the payment platform, Telegram approval is not required. See the developer technical documentation for details.

Another innovation is that you can now schedule an upcoming voice chat at a specific time so that everyone can take part in it. A colored countdown timer will alert you of an upcoming voice chat, and participants can subscribe to a notification when it starts. Also, from the voice chat window, you can now view the data of any participant.

And finally, today, the company introduced two new web versions of Telegram. Both support animated stickers, night mode, chat folders, several other functions and work on mobile devices. Both applications run without installation and work regardless of whether the phone is turned on or not. New applications are available at the links:

• The Web the K Telegram.
• The Web the Z Telegram.
