Lastly, we have introduced Anonymous Admins for groups today. This is a handy feature for celebrities and generally for anyone who wants to run a large group chat without risking to get too many incoming private messages.
The creator of the group can make any group admin (including ±self) anonymous. After this, the admin will disappear from the group member list and will post messages on the group’s behalf.
If you add different “titles” for different anonymous admins in the group chat, the members of the group will be able tell which admin posted which message. I am personally happy we added this feature, because for the first time in many years I was able to start a public group chat (
@durovschat) without having my inbox flooded.
