<p>Users can now send <strong>Gifts</strong> to their friends. The recipients of gifts can display them on their <strong>profile pages</strong> or turn them into <strong>Stars</strong>. Telegram Stars can be used for many things, including <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/mini-app-bar-paid-media-and-more#pay-for-content-with-telegram-stars">supporting creators</a> and buying services in <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/telegram-stars">mini apps</a>.</p>
<p>Additionally, Telegram launched a platform for businesses to verify customer <strong>phone numbers</strong>: this new verification platform lets users easily confirm their phone numbers by receiving a code via Telegram and will cost businesses just <strong>$0.01</strong> per user. We&#39;ve also improved <strong>video chats</strong>, added new ways to <strong>report content</strong> on Telegram — and more.</p>

<h4><a class="anchor" name="verification-platform" href="#verification-platform"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Verification Platform</h4>
<p>We know from our own experience how expensive it can be for businesses to <strong>verify phone numbers</strong> of their customers. Starting today, any business, app or website can send <strong>verification codes</strong> via Telegram and pay for them on <a href="https://fragment.com">Fragment</a>. Telegram codes are <strong>faster</strong>, <strong>cheaper</strong>, <strong>more secure</strong> and <strong>convenient</strong> than SMS or other alternatives.</p>

<h4><a class="anchor" name="improved-reporting-interface" href="#improved-reporting-interface"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Improved Reporting Interface</h4>
<p>Each day, Telegram moderators remove millions of pieces of content that violates our <a href="https://telegram.org/tos">Terms of Service</a>. All Telegram apps allow users to <strong>report messages</strong> to moderators. </p>
<p>To improve moderators&#39; ability to process reports at scale and further improve our <strong>AI capabilities</strong>, the reporting menu has been expanded with <strong>detailed options</strong> for each category. For example, a message can now be reported as <em>Scam or Spam &gt; &#39;Phishing&#39;</em>, rather than simply <em>&#39;Spam&#39;</em>.</p>
