Telegram allows pinning multiple messages on top of a specific chat.
Telegram allows placing chats into folders, based on their type, mute status, or other custom criteria, thanks to folder blacklists and whitelists.
Get a list of peers that can be used to join a group call, presenting yourself as a specific user/channel.
Chats and channels may have a public username or a private invite link: private invite links may be further enhanced with per-user join requests.
Telegram allows users to react on any message using specific emojis, triggering cute lottie animations.
The MTProto API has multiple configuration parameters that can be fetched with the appropriate methods.
