Gift Auctions. Limited-edition Telegram Gifts are released in an auction-based system to ensure fair distribution. Auctions allow you to place a bid with Stars. Gifts are then distributed to the highest bidders over several rounds. Lower bids carry over into future rounds – and are instantly refunded after the final round if you don't win.

Gift Themes. Owners of certain collectible gifts can set dynamic chat wallpapers in 1-on-1 chats based on their unique gifts. Gift themes incorporate each gift's attributes, like the model and backdrop. One gift unlocks one theme for one chat. This currently works with Plush Pepes, Precious Peaches, Durov's Caps and Heart Lockets.
Default Profile Tab. You can choose which tab appears first when someone opens your profile – to highlight your gift collections or saved stories. To change the default tab, go to Settings > My Profile, hold down on a tab and select 'Set as Main Tab'.
