According to The Defiant, Telegram has restricted bots from sending HTML widgets. A Bot API contributor confirmed that general bots can no longer send such HTML widgets, and this limitation also applies to scenarios including private chats.
The scope of this restriction is less than a complete freeze on all mini-programs. This adjustment occurs against the backdrop of security controversies and only affects the ability of bots to send HTML widgets, without impacting all mini-programs on the Telegram platform.
