Improvements to Video Messaging on AndroidIn the beta version of Telegram for Android for the upcoming 12.10.4 update, a new section called "Round Video (Experimental)" has been added to the settings.That page includes several experimental features that allow you to set the focus and smoothness of video messages recorded using the modern Camera2 API:• Output resolution: 360p / 480p. • Camera resolution: Low / Medium / High. • Frame rate: 30 FPS / 60 FPS. • Video bitrate: 750 kbps / 1 Mbps / 1.5 Mbps / 2 Mbps.⚠️ Please note: Telegram notes that 60 FPS is used only if both the front and back cameras on the device support this frame rate. Otherwise, recording automatically switches to 30 frames per second.In addition, users can disable the app's custom styling for downloaded video messages. In that case, the recorded "circle" will be saved to the device as an uncropped square, without any blurring or darkening around the borders and without the Telegram logo.⚠️ Please note: This option does not alter the appearance of video messages that are sent to chats; the "circles" within the messenger remain circular regardless of whether you have disabled their stylization during the download process.UPD: The messenger remembers the user's last selection and starts recording the next video message using the same camera that was used to record the previous video. This avoids the need to constantly switch between the front camera and the back camera when you start taking new "circles."This settings section probably won't be in stable versions of Telegram. It will only be in the beta version while the features are being tested.Subscribe to our second channel @BetaInfo to be the first to know about upcoming Telegram updates.#Android #Beta

Telegram Is Working on Experimental WEB-ProxyA new experimental proxy type titled “WEB” was found in Telegram Desktop's code. The discovery was publicized by teleLakel.The server code for the WEB-proxy is still under development, and Telegram hasn't endorsed any implementations yet, so there is no good way to try the technology at the moment.Why is this necessary, and why not just use MTProxy?The already existing MTProxy can also mask to appear as HTTPS traffic using the FakeTLS extension. However, modern Deep Packet Inspection systems (DPI) can already tell such connections apart, since FakeTLS still has some differences from real HTTPS traffic that can be seen from the outside.The new WEB transport makes detection much harder: to talk to the server, the messenger uses the built-in browser (WebView). It establishes a real TLS/HTTPS connection using standard browser

The Australian Internet Safety Regulator Sues TelegramThe regulator claims the service is ignoring the country's laws, citing the messenger's lack of action in deleting terrorist propaganda materials.

Currently, the official Telegram client has been removed from the Indian App Store and Google Play storefronts.Pavel Durov points out that this move punishes 150 million users in India, while the leaks simply migrated to a different app, and that Telegram cooperated with regulators by deleting “hundreds of channels sharing leaked exam materials and related scams in India”.
