Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 18 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 87% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.
Growth
15 measurements spanning 43 days, net +243. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 1,001–1,316 and does not start at zero.

Engagement
19 posts held, back to 23 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 5 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
180 reactions across 18 posts, in 6 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 43.3% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 18 of the 19 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 180 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 19 most recent posts we hold, published 23 July 2026 to 5 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

A paid reaction is a reader spending Telegram Stars — bought with money — on a post by @TheGramTimes. Telegram publishes the count on the public post preview alongside ordinary reactions, and this register reads it there. It is the only figure on this site that measures money moving rather than attention.
Stars are not reactions, and the two are never added. They are rendered in the same strip on Telegram and counted in the same shape, but one is a tap and the other is a purchase. The reaction totals and the engagement rate elsewhere on this page exclude every figure in this section, and no rate here is computed against a reaction count.
This is not revenue, and we publish no currency figure. What a Star costs a reader and what it pays a channel are different numbers, Telegram takes a share we cannot observe, and the terms have changed. Converting a Star count into money would be an estimate dressed as a measurement, so the count is where we stop.
Counted over the 19 most recent posts we hold for this entry, published 23 July 2026 to 5 August 2026. Star counts above 1,000 reach us in Telegram’s short form and carry the same three-significant-figure rounding as everything else on this page.
SaveMod owner confronts Heroku developer over alleged backdoor
The owner of the large business bot SaveMod (which stores users’ private chats to recover deleted messages and more) contacted the developer of one of the biggest userbots, Heroku, via Swiftgram.
According to the claim, a backdoor was found in Heroku that collects user data and allows full account control.
The Heroku developer’s response was to offer t…

Instead of just bidding on whole collections, you’ll soon be able to target specific traits (exact models, backgrounds, patterns, etc.).
We dug into the latest build and found the backend is already fully wired up. Here are the code strings we pulled:

Telegram is back in the App Store 🔥
Telegram has returned to the App Store.
Earlier, Apple Support claimed they didn’t remove it — and that it was temporarily taken down by Telegram’s own developers.
None of that matters now. The app is available again in every region.
Telegram is still available on the Mac App Store.
While the iOS version has disappeared, the macOS app remains accessible for download and updates for now.
🚨 Telegram has disappeared from the App Store for all iOS users.
Multiple reports started appearing in the last couple of hours. No official statement from Telegram, Pavel Durov, or Apple yet.
Already installed apps still work — only new downloads and updates seem affected.
🧠 Durov just dropped something interesting
While the International Olympiad in AI is happening right now in Astana (2–8 August), Telegram is giving the winners 240 exclusive Intelligence Cups.
These aren’t regular medals.
They’re limited digital collectibles on TON with a guaranteed minimum buyback from Telegram itself ($1,000 for Gold and so on).
In other words:

Take a look at the bot (Mini App) that Gram Wallet uses for confirming transactions via its 2FA system.
It already has an official verification badge and the description: “Two-Factor Authentication for TON.”
👉 https://t.me/tgmfabot
Google Play’s description confirms that Gram Wallet was created in collaboration with Telegram.
“Created in collaboration with Telegram, Gram Wallet is powered by the core engine behind My Wallet…”
Interestingly, this line is not present in the App Store description, where only the My Wallet engine and Telegram-exclusive features are mentioned.
Also worth noting: alongside the long-standing wallet.ton.org domain, …
👽 Tonkeeper is quietly going multichain.
A newly public repository, Hermes, reveals what the team has been building behind the scenes.
Here's what's coming:

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @TheGramTimes. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Stars beside a post are paid reactions — Telegram Stars, bought with money and spent on that post. They are a different unit from reactions and are never added to them, here or anywhere else on this page.
Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 6 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
