Telegram’s latest update now introduces a new third-party account verification system. The company shared the news in a blog post. The idea behind this new system is to allow public figures or companies that are already verified by Telegram to in turn verify others, such as employees working for that organization.

The new update to Telegram’s verification system aims to prevent fraud and reduce misinformation, thanks to a proactive solution that sets a new standard for platforms . Individuals or groups that will be able to verify others must already have an official bot verified by Telegram. If they do, they can apply to become a third-party verifier. The company or individual must also have a unique icon (in a solid, simple color) that will appear next to the names of the accounts they have verified.
Every account that is verified using this new system will have this logo next to their name. When you open their profile, you will see a detailed explanation of the status and what it means. Telegram points out in the blog post that this system is separate from its internal verification and also provides more details in a new guide.
