<p>With today&#39;s update, groups and channels can use <strong>Telegram Stars</strong> as prizes in <strong>Giveaways</strong>. Also, <strong>any article</strong> you open in the Telegram Browser can now be <strong>converted to Instant View</strong>, making it easy to read.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="star-giveaways" href="#star-giveaways"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Star Giveaways</h4>
<p>Channel and group owners can host <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#november-2023-first-update">giveaways</a> to <strong>promote their communities</strong> and reward random members with prizes — in exchange, they <strong>earn boosts</strong> which unlock posting <strong>channel stories</strong> and <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/february2024#boosts-for-groups">other perks</a>.</p>
<p>In addition to <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/giveaways#free-telegram-premium">Telegram Premium</a> subscriptions and <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/posts-in-stories-and-more#custom-prizes-and-winner-lists-in-giveaways">real-world prizes</a>, you can now <strong>give away Telegram Stars</strong> as well. Winners can spend their Stars on <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/mini-app-bar-paid-media-and-more">paid media</a> and <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/superchannels-star-reactions-subscriptions#star-subscriptions">exclusive subscriptions</a> in channels — or in <strong>games</strong> and <strong>mini apps</strong> on the Telegram platform.</p>

<!-- For translators: <p>Just in case you want to rain stars on your subscribers.</p> You can also use some allusion to meteor showers, etc.-->
<p>Giveaways are <strong>prepaid</strong> and <strong>completely transparent</strong> — with <strong>customizable settings</strong> for organizers.</p>

<p>Channel owners can start a giveaway via <em>Channel Settings &gt; Statistics &gt; Boosts</em>. For groups, go to <em>Group Info &gt; Statistics &gt; Boosts</em>.</p>

<p>The App Store and Google Play limit the size of transactions — but with <a href="https://t.me/premiumbot">@PremiumBot</a> you can create <strong>larger giveaways</strong> at a <strong>lower cost</strong>. </p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="instant-view-for-telegram-browser" href="#instant-view-for-telegram-browser"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Instant View for Telegram Browser</h4>
<p>In 2016, Telegram launched the <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#november-2016">Instant View</a> standard — which automatically optimizes articles into <strong>perfectly formatted</strong> pages for your device with <strong>zero load times</strong>. This feature works for thousands of the most popular sites.</p>
<p>Telegram&#39;s <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/w3-browser-mini-app-store#telegram-browser">in-app browser</a> can now convert <strong>any article</strong> you are viewing into a more readable, <strong>lightweight layout</strong>.</p>

<p>Our team also set aside some special time last month to <strong>fix bugs</strong> and <strong>increase performance</strong> across Telegram&#39;s mobile and desktop apps. Thank you for all the user reports on our dedicated <a href="https://bugs.telegram.org/">Bug Platform</a>!</p>

<h4><a class="anchor" name="mini-app-improvements" href="#mini-app-improvements"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Mini App Improvements</h4>
<p>Several bug fixes were implemented for <strong>mini apps</strong> making them even smoother and <strong>more responsive</strong>, along with new <strong>button options</strong> for developers.</p>
<p>Instead of just one button, mini apps can now display <strong>two buttons</strong> at a time in a <strong>side-by-side</strong> or <strong>stacked orientation</strong>. We also implemented a new <strong>shimmer effect</strong> for buttons that can be used to attract attention and guide users.</p>

<h4><a class="anchor" name="10-million-premium-subscribers" href="#10-million-premium-subscribers"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>10 Million Premium Subscribers</h4>
<p>This month, Telegram surpassed <strong>10 million</strong> Premium subscribers — a <strong>2x increase</strong> in less than 8 months. This growth helps support our goal of <a href="https://t.me/durov/142">sustainable monetization</a> that <strong>prioritizes users</strong> and their privacy.</p>
<p>We thank all of our Premium subscribers for their continued support — which allows Telegram to continue creating powerful features that change how nearly <strong>one billion</strong> people communicate.</p>
<p>That&#39;s all for today&#39;s update, we&#39;ll be back to give away more features very soon.</p>
