Telegram has launched a new feature allowing verified users and organizations to verify other accounts, enhancing platform safety and combating misinformation.
Telegram has introduced a new third-party account verification system as part of its latest app update. The company announced the feature in a blog post, explaining that the idea is to let public figures or companies that are already verified by Telegram in turn verify others, for instance employees in the organization.
'This decentralized platform for additional verification will help prevent scams and reduce misinformation — with a unique proactive solution that sets a new safety standard for social platforms,' Telegram wrote. Individuals or groups that want to be able to verify others must already have an official bot verified by Telegram. Once that happens, they can apply to become a third-party verifier on Telegram. They're also required to have a unique icon (simple and minimalistic in a solid color) that will appear next to the names of accounts they verify. Any accounts verified in this way will have that logo next to their name, and opening their profile will show a detailed explanation of that status and what it means. The company emphasized that this type of verification is 'completely separate' from its internal verification, and provided more details in a blog post. Telegram also introduced new search filters that let you refine a list of results only from private chats, group chats or channels. It also added custom emojis for folder names, reactions for service messages and the ability to upgrade gifts to NFTs, ads, Telegram Stars and more
