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.”

Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number. Channels are not fully encrypted, end-to-end. All communications on a Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram may be asked by a government to hand over the communications from a channel. Telegram has a history of standing up to Russian government requests for data, but how comfortable you are relying on that history to predict future behavior is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an internal employee. After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. Perpetrators of these scams will create a public group on Telegram to promote these investment packages that are usually accompanied by fake testimonies and sometimes advertised as being Shariah-compliant. Interested investors will be asked to directly message the representatives to begin investing in the various investment packages offered.
