Telegram for Android and iOS updated to version 12.7

In the May update, the app received a number of useful tools aimed at combating vote manipulation in polls and reaction spammers in groups.

• Custom styles for the AI editor: Telegram now lets you create your own styles within the AI-powered editor. Simply come up with a name, pick an icon from custom emojis, and write a prompt for the language model.

Finished styles can be shared with other users — when opening the link, they'll see examples of how the style transforms text. Creators can also choose to display a link to their profile in the style preview window.

• New poll tools: Administrators can now restrict voting to subscribers who joined the channel at least 24 hours ago. They can also set geographic restrictions, allowing only users from specific countries to participate in a poll.

• Removing reactions in groups: Group admins with the "Delete messages" permission can now remove reactions to any message. To do so, open the full reactions list and long-press the user.

It is also possible to restrict reactions in group chats — either for all members or for a specific user.

• Business bots for all users: Telegram now allows any user to connect business bots to their account, even without Telegram Premium. These bots can automatically handle chats and interact with customers.

Since the launch of Telegram Business in 2024, this feature had been available exclusively to Premium subscribers.

Other changes
• An option to send scheduled messages silently has been added.
• Markdown files (.md) up to 64 KB now open in Instant View mode.
• Poll statistics are now available for polls with at least 100 votes.
• Bots that power automated tools and AI assistants in Telegram can now be invoked directly from the message input field (guest mode support for bots).
