Proxy sponsors have been hidden in unofficial Telegram apps such as Rahagram, Igram, and Vidogram by their developers. This action has been taken to limit visibility for users accessing MTProxy sponsors, which has raised concerns among proxy providers who rely on these sponsors for funding their services.
Options to Unhide Proxy Sponsors
1. Use Official Telegram: The most straightforward way to see proxy sponsors is to switch to the official Telegram app. This app does not hide proxy sponsors and is designed to support them.
2. Check App Settings: Some unofficial apps may have settings that allow users to toggle the visibility of proxy sponsors. Look for options related to proxy settings in the app's configuration.
3. Contact Developers: If you are using a specific unofficial app, consider reaching out to the developers to inquire if there are any plans to restore visibility for proxy sponsors or if there are hidden settings that can be adjusted.
4. Community Forums: Engaging in community discussions on platforms like GitHub or Telegram groups may provide insights or workarounds shared by other users facing the same issue.
5. Custom Proxy Configuration: If you are managing your own MTProxy, you can modify the configuration files to potentially influence how sponsors are displayed. This typically involves adjusting the `tag` parameter in the proxy's configuration to show or hide sponsors as needed[1][2].
The ongoing issue reflects a broader concern about the sustainability of proxy services and the impact of unofficial apps on user experience and proxy visibility.
