Telegram is ready to introduce an advertising platform, which will allow you to place advertising messages in public channels
This was first reported by the publication "Durov's Code".It is claimed that a special website was launchedTelegram for an advertising platform, but so far nothing is happening on it.
The media write that advertising messages in the messenger will be limited to 160 characters. Also, advertisers will have to "tailor" them to the theme of the channel in which they are shown.
A little later, Pavel Durov himself announced that soonofficial advertising messages will appear on Telegram channels for the first time. However, most users may not notice this at all. Ads will not be shown in chat lists, private conversations or groups. It will only appear in large channels. Durov claims that personal data of users will not be used to display advertising. The advertisements themselves will look unobtrusive - without external links or photos.
In August, Telegram already tested an advertising post labeled Sponsored.
