A new verification system for trusted chats and accounts aims to improve user safety.

Introduction

In a significant move to combat scams and misinformation, Telegram has launched a third-party verification feature. This allows official companies and services to assign their own unique verification icons to accounts and chats, enhancing transparency and trust across the platform.

How It Works

Third-Party Verification Icons: Verified chats will display a distinct icon next to their name, different from Telegram's traditional blue checkmarks.
Verification Details: Users can click on the icon to see which service verified the account and the reason for verification.
Strict Requirements: Only services with a Telegram-verified bot can act as third-party verifiers, minimizing misuse.

New Safety Features

This update follows Telegram’s intensified efforts to regulate content after recent legal issues. Other updates include:

Enhanced search filters.
QR code scanning with the in-app camera.
A feature to transform digital gifts into NFTs.

Conclusion

Telegram's third-party verification is a step forward in ensuring safer communication. With stringent controls and transparency, the platform aims to tackle scams effectively. Stay tuned for more updates on Kushal Bharat Tech News!
