Telegram has introduced a restriction on new apps in chats, a measure confirmed by a Bot API contributor.
CryptoSlate reports that the move comes amid rising concerns about account takeovers requiring no clicks: researchers disclosed a vulnerability in older clients, while Pavel Durov said it had been fixed on the server side.
· What’s confirmed is that new apps are restricted and Durov says the server-side issue has been fixed; the source does not specify the vulnerability’s exact scope or how many users were affected.
· For users who regularly use chat mini apps, a server-side fix doesn’t mean their local client is running a secure version.
Would you rather check which version of the Telegram client you have, or find out when this restriction on new apps will be lifted?
