Working with numbers

  • Added number registration checker to Telegram.
  • Added invite by phone numbers.
  • Added messaging to numbers, including users without a username.

User data

  • Added receiving BIO.
  • Added Premium user filter.
  • Added display of phone number if user privacy settings allow it.
  • Added gender detection using a neural network.

Base format

  • The format for storing user data has been changed.
  • Added the function of converting old databases to the new format.

Audience data and collection conditions

  • The number checker saved the result in the database; messaging by numbers showed to whom the message was sent.
  • BIO could be obtained through “Checking links” and in modules for working with telephone numbers. Retrieving BIO required additional queries.
  • The Premium item has been added to all audience collection modules. The user's phone number was displayed only if privacy settings allowed this.

Transition to a new database format

  • The format of the user database with the tables GROUPS and USERS has been changed; old databases required conversion.
  • The “Gender Determination” module provides the “Convert from old format to new” option. The result of her work is a new base.
  • The new format was distinguished by the fields “number”, “bio”, “premium”, “gender”. For a database of a new format, the conversion option should have been turned off; otherwise the module returned an error.
  • The sex estimate is based on an algorithm based on the available data, not the sex field in Telegram. The historical entry describes working with Russian and English names and lacking support for Arabic, Chinese and Korean names.
