Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Telegram has restricted general bots from sending HTML widgets, including in private chats, according to a Bot API contributor, though the change is narrower than a full freeze on mini-apps. The move follows a security dispute over how bot-rendered content is displayed. It matters because widget-based interfaces underpin many Telegram mini-app and trading bot experiences. What to watch next is whether Telegram narrows or expands the restriction and how affected bot developers adapt their interfaces.
