Telegram groups increase the user limit to 10 or 20 thousand users

Last night we found out that Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has announced via Twitter that the group limit will soon be increased to 10 or 20 thousand people. Currently the limit is 5 thousand people per group, something very impressive. For its part, WhatsApp only supports 256 users per group.

Telegram groups increase the user limit to 10 or 20 thousand users

For people who do not know Telegram, you have to know that there are several types of groups but specifically we differentiate between group and super-group. The difference between these two is always, if you enter a normal group you will not be able to see the previous messages of the group. In the case that you enter a supergroup Telegram stores the last million messages of the group so you will be able to see all the history.

How would you like to order a pizza using a bot?

Well, this will also be possible shortly on Telegram . Durov informed us that they are working on a new payment platform for Telegram. Am means that you can create premium bots with subscription by use, bot with premium features or make purchases.

Thanks to payments through Bots we can imagine a world where you can order a pizza, pay for a pair of shoes, rent a car or recharge your metro card. All this at the touch of a few buttons on Telegram. To make this possible, Telegram is working on the Bot Payments API, which is a way that allows bots to accept payments from their users anywhere in the world.

Currently, most payments are handled through Stripe, but Bots Payments is a platform to host different payment providers from around the world. When we accept a payment from a user, the developer can choose which payment providers he wants to use in his bot. When we refer to payment providers, we use payment platforms such as PayPal, your own bank, etc… At the moment, the available payment providers are unknown.

We have to highlight that each payment goes directly from the user to the bot developer. So Telegram does not keep any commission on payments and does not benefit from these transactions. And neither does it keep or save the credit card data.

This makes it impossible for Telegram to handle complaints or refunds, so disputed payments will be handled by bot developers, payment providers, and banks.

And how do we know that the button is legit and the developer does not scam?

On Telegram they thought about that and will have a badge system, the bots that do their job will be awarded a badge and those that won't be erased and possibly that developer will receive a temporary or permanent ban that prevents him from creating more bots.
