According to Durov, companies will now be able to save significant amounts by sending verification codes directly to their users through Telegram. This method offers advantages over traditional SMS codes in terms of cost, speed, and security.

Sending one verification code via Telegram Gateway will cost just $0.01 anywhere in the world. If the phone number is not registered in Telegram, the service will be free. Telegram has already verified nearly a billion phone numbers, allowing other organizations to significantly reduce their expenses.

Additionally, Durov announced new Telegram features, such as the ability to add media files to messages after sending them and to view post-editing times.
