Autoupdate has been disabled for this version, you need to open App Store page and update manually. Please, report any bugs in comments 💬

If you're on beta, consider to temporary switch to App Store version, since TestFlight issue is not yet resolved by Apple. Don't worry, you will preserve your beta slot.

Dropping funniest rejections from Apple in the comments 👇

👀 Telegram Business
Latest iOS source code revealed upcoming Business-related features. I've compiled Swiftgram with these changes to show you the demo.
Some rumor say TG Business will be available for Telegram Premium users.

Location: Display the location of your business on your account.

Opening Hours: Show to your customers when you are open for business.

Quick Replies: Set up shortcuts with rich text and media to respond to messages faster.

Greeting Messages: Create greetings that will be automatically sent to new customers.

Away Messages: Define messages that are automatically sent when you are off.

Chatbots: Add any third-party chatbots that will process customer interactions.

100 "👀" reactions and I will show you how Chatbots will work

💬 Telegram Business Chatbots integration
Business accounts will be able to add a Telegram bot to process incoming messages.

🤖 Bot API Update: There's a chance Telegram will rollout a Bot API update with a better integration for "Customer Support" bots. They will act like a "middleman" between customer and a business account. Customer will see they're talking to a real User account.
We may see:
• Full access to new messages. Business account can setup filters on what chats can be accessed by Chatbot.
• Option to automatically reply as bot: chatbots will be able to immediately reply to user (with AI and any automation)
• Option to restrict automatic replies: Business accounts will be able to restrict automatic replies and process messages manually or via other system like Intercom, Zendesk, Salesforce, etc.
• Business opening hours: Chatbots can be programmed to reply something like "We're closed today and will be back on Monday. Don't worry, we got your message!"

🤑 Making money: This is an interesting opportunity for Businesses and Telegram Bot developers to make some money. Is it a time to create paid integrations and Business support bots with some AI answers? (@devs, @BotTalk, @botoid, @devshelper are you watching!?)

Remember: All of these are just assumptions based on latest Telegram iOS source code.

📈 Raising stakes: 500 👨‍💻 reactions and Level 3 boost for @swiftgram and I will show setup screen for Business Chatbots.

We've not gathered 500 👨‍💻 reactions, but you did great with previous post that got 350 👀 and we're about to reach Level 5 ⚡️

👉 Boost one more level and I'm showing Telegram Business Chatbot setup screen

🤖 Telegram Business Chatbots
According to latest Telegram iOS Sources, users with Telegram Business will be able to connect any Telegram Bot to process incoming messages.

You simply need to enter the bot username (for example @BusinessyBot)

🗃️ Filters: You can setup filters for chats that will be available to bot. By default, it’s only private chats.

😎 Filter Exceptions: You can exclude entire chat categories (similar to folders?) or individual chats.

🛑 Bot Permissions: You can limit the actions bot can do on your behalf. For now, there’s only “Reply to Messages”.
Maybe more options in future? “Send invoices”, “Contact after some time” (to prevent advertising), “Contact in Closed Hours”, etc.

🔥 Swiftgram exclusive: Early access to Folder colors and tags in Swiftgram beta.

Don't have a beta? Due to the Apple bug, new users can't join beta via link, stay tuned for the update in AppStore!
