Telegram 3.18 for Android and iOS just hit the stores, and with it, we are beginning to roll out Voice Calls: secure, crystal-clear, and constantly improved by machine learning.

Telegram calls will first become available to users from Western Europe, but the rest of the world will get them very soon as well (no extra update required). Get ready to roar!

Payments are coming to Telegram bots. Soon you'll be able to order pizza, pay for a pair of shoes, hire a cab, or refill your subway pass — all in a few button taps on Telegram.

Meanwhile, check out @ShopBot and @TelegramDonate for a taste of tomorrow (both need Telegram 4.0 to work).

Terrorists are after your fear – and the media are glad to help them. Don't give in!

You can't stop newspapers from spreading the terrorists' message far and wide, but at least you can report public terrorist content on Telegram (in the unlikely event you ever see it).

Supergroups can now have up to 10,000 members! We've added members search to supergroups to help you find people in these newly massive haystacks.

Admins also get new tools for managing the increasing group populations: creators can appoint admins with granular rights (add members, remove members, add new admins, etc.). We've also added partial restrictions for members (read-only, no stickers etc.) and temporary bans.

The new event log (admin-only) will help you see all service actions taken by members and admins of a channel or supergroup in the last 48 hours – with search and filters.

On top of this, we've added improved sharing to our iOS app, Android pay support to our Android app and many smaller quality-of-life improvements throughout.
