Back in March, the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) wanted to meet up with Telegram regarding issues of spreading pornography, hate groups, scams and others. Telegram didn't bother, though, but here's the real reason why the group refused to cooperate with KKD.

Popular messaging platform Telegram has announced several new features to its app via an update. These include a new Power Saving mode, optimisation for lower-end Android devices and more.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) would be calling up messaging platform Telegram to discuss issues involving the application, especially regarding the security of users. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil said that although Telegram was used by many, including the government to share information, KKD would not compromise when it comes to matters of public security.

Meta has announced a new feature on Instagram that should be familiar to Telegram users. Essentially Meta’s take on Telegram channels, Instagram users can expect to see a “broadcast channels” feature on the mobile app soon.

Regarding the recent scam of a man who lost over RM23,000 from his Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet, the TNG eWallet company sent out a reminder on its social media about looking out for potential scammers. 

In conjunction with the new year, popular messaging platform Telegram has introduced several new features that would further improve users’ experience with the app. These include a revamped media editor with a host of new tools, new storage options and even customised profile pictures for your contacts.

You can now sign up for a Telegram account without having a SIM card. The social media platform announced the feature through an official blog post, but there's a catch.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today revealed that his personal Telegram account has been hacked by ‘irresponsible individuals’. Furthermore, he also urged for anyone that have received messages from the account to disregard its content and report the matter to the authorities.

Previously, we reported that Telegram might be planning to launch a subscription plan with exclusive features not available on its regular version. Recently, the new subscription plan was finally revealed and it’s called Telegram Premium.

Subscription plans are becoming more and more popular among social media tools. If users wanted to use some exclusive features, they would have to pay, and it's as simple as that. With that said, Telegram might be planning to launch a subscription plan of its own, but the features offered are still vague for now.
