Telegram is rolling out its latest update, which features several new changes, including a new payment system, scheduled voice chats, and two — yes, two — new web versions.

Telegram adds Payments 2.0, scheduled voice chats, and two new web versions
Payments 2.0 is an improvement to the payment system Telegram had implemented back in 2017. It users to purchase from businesses and pay them directly from within the app.

Starting today, merchants can now natively accept credit card payment in any chat. This relies on third-party payment providers, including Stripe, Yandex.Money, Sberbank, Tranzzo, Payme, CLICK, LiqPay, and ECOMMPAY. This feature is available in more than 200 countries and more payment providers will be added in future.

Telegram proclaims that the payment information remains private between the user and the payment provider while the shipping information is only shared with the merchant. Telegram takes no commission and stores no payment information.

Another new features is scheduled voice chats. Now, admins of groups or channels can schedule a voice chat and all members of the group can see a countdown to the call. When the countdown ends, the users will automatically get a notification that the call is now live.
