PANews reported on August 14 that Telegram CEO Patel Du Rove posted a message on his personal channel to celebrate Telegram's 11th anniversary. He said that when he was 11 years old in 1995, he promised to become smarter, stronger, and freer every day. Today, Telegram will also make the same promise: smarter (providing more features to users); stronger (more popular among users); freer (more independent and self-sufficient). Happy birthday to Telegram.

Additionally, he mentioned that just two weeks after its last major update, Telegram is rolling out new features today, including a new type of channel and three new ways to support content creators.
