The Beta version of Telegram for Android now features a catalog of mini-apps.
In the global search screen, users can now access the «Apps» tab. This tab not only allows searching by name but also displays a list of mini-apps previously launched by the user and a section for popular apps.
Additionally, the appearance of profiles for bots that support mini-apps has been updated. Now, these profiles show the number of unique users of the mini-app per month (MAU) and include a button to launch the mini-app.

A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts. But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours.
