In the Beta version of Telegram for Android, any channel administrator can now choose the sender's identity for a post. The selection menu includes the administrator’s personal account, the current channel, and any other public channels owned by the administrator.
Additionally, a new setting called “Show Authors' Profiles” has been added under “Administrators.” When enabled, an icon indicating the sender of the post will appear to the left of the post on the channel. Any channel administrator can manage this option, regardless of their permissions.
The “Sign Messages” setting, which was previously located on the main channel settings screen, is now available in this section. When disabled, the text input field for messages will show “Anonymous Message” instead of “Publication.”

Elsewhere, version 8.6 of Telegram integrates the in-app camera option into the gallery, while a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing, and more. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. The original Telegram channel has expanded into a web of accounts for different locations, including specific pages made for individual Russian cities. There's also an English-language website, which states it is owned by the people who run the Telegram channels.
