Telegram has launched the ability to buy and sell short recognizable @ usernames for personal accounts, public groups and channels.
The auction for the best usernames is live on Fragment:
https://fragment.com
The ownership of these collectible usernames is secured in the immutable ledger of TON, a fast and scalable blockchain network. Owners can add multiple username aliases to their personal account, group or channel.
Each collectible name can be accessed with its @username on Telegram, or outside Telegram using links such as username.t.me and t.me/username.
For the first time in the history of social media, people have full ownership of their usernames. Long-time Telegram users who have been using short usernames they registered early on can now benefit from the platform's growth by selling their usernames in fair, transparent, fully decentralized auctions.
12 new packs are available in the emoji panel, giving ⭐️ Premium subscribers hundreds more ways to express themselves in messages and captions – or with emoji statuses.

Telegram v.4.6 is here! You can now set up your auto-download preferences with granular precision (find the new options in Settings > Data & Storage). For example, always download pictures from your mother on any connection, but only auto-download media from groups when you're on WiFi.
iOS users will enjoy the new option to swipe left on any message to quickly reply to it.
For everyone else, we've also added support for albums to Secret chats, full support for MTProto 2.0, and the option to only use p2p in calls with contacts (see Settings > Privacy & Security).

Here's how the new message search works:
Supergroups can now have up to 10,000 members! We've added members search to supergroups to help you find people in these newly massive haystacks.
Admins also get new tools for managing the increasing group populations: creators can appoint admins with granular rights (add members, remove members, add new admins, etc.). We've also added partial restrictions for members (read-only, no stickers etc.) and temporary bans.
The new event log (admin-only) will help you see all service actions taken by members and admins of a channel or supergroup in the last 48 hours – with search and filters.
