Telegram is evolving and “we’re introducing new features while phasing out a few outdated ones." said Pavel Durov, Founder and CEO of Telegram, in a post shared on September 6, 2024. Durov highlighted several updates, including the removal of the "People Nearby" feature, which was used by less than 0.1 per cent of Telegram users and had issues with bots and scammers. In its place, Telegram is launching "Businesses Nearby," showcasing verified businesses with product catalogues and seamless payment options. The post further highlighted the disabling of new media uploads to Telegraph’s standalone blogging tool due to misuse by anonymous actors. The update also addressed moderation improvements, with Durov stating, "This year we are committed to turn moderation on Telegram from an area of criticism into one of praise." Telegram has also reached a milestone of 10 million paid subscribers, indicating support for its premium features. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Explains What Happened After He Was Arrested in Paris, Lists Reasons of Doubts Over French Authorities, EU.
