The huge config constructor contains lots of useful information, from chat and message size limitations, to privacy settings, online status refresh interval and timeout, VoIP configuration, default inline bot usernames for GIF, image and venue lookup, and lots of other global and user-specific information, check out the constructor page for more information.
The configuration should be manually refreshed immediately upon receival of an updateConfig update.

help.getAppConfig#61e3f854 hash:int = help.AppConfig;
The help.getAppConfig method returns a JSON object containing rapidly evolving, client-specific configuration parameters.
While help.getConfig returns MTProto-specific configuration with information about server-side limitations and other MTProto-related information, help.getAppConfig returns configuration parameters useful for graphical Telegram clients.
When first invoking help.getAppConfig, pass 0
to hash; in future calls, use the hash
contained in the previously returned help.appConfig; if the configuration hasn't changed, a help.appConfigNotModified will be returned instead of help.appConfig.
The configuration should be manually refreshed immediately upon receival of an updateConfig update.

These methods can be used for managing consent to Telegram's Terms Of Service.
Typically, before a user signs up by invoking auth.signUp, apps should show a pop-up (if the popup
flag of the help.termsOfService method is set), asking the user to accept Telegram's terms of service; in case of denial, the user is to be returned to the initial page of the login flow.
When signing up for the first time, the help.termsOfService is to be obtained from the auth.authorizationSignUpRequired constructor returned by the auth.signIn.
After signing up, or when logging in as an existing user, apps are supposed to call help.getTermsOfServiceUpdate to check for any updates to the Terms of Service; this call should be repeated after expires
seconds have elapsed.
If an update to the Terms Of Service is available, clients are supposed to show a consent popup; if accepted, clients should call help.acceptTermsOfService, providing the termsOfService id
JSON object; in case of denial, clients are to delete the account using account.deleteAccount, providing Decline ToS update
as deletion reason
.

Also, the beginning of the national part of the phone number (123 456 789
) should match one of the prefixes
