🏆 Telegram UI Competition for Android
Prize fund: Up to $30,000
Deadline: 23:59 on December 7th (Dubai time)
Who can participate: Everyone
Results: December 15th, 2023
Telegram is hosting a competition for Android developers to implement a new animation for deleting messages.
The Task:
Implement a new animation flow for deleting messages into Telegram for Android similar to the provided demo (the demo is a recording of a beta feature on Telegram for iOS). Your solution should support all entity types for both incoming and outgoing messages across all types of chats and channels.
The most preferable outcome is likely to be achieved by taking the component SpoilerEffect2.java as a reference. However, you may opt for your own approach as long as no third-party UI frameworks are used.
Evaluation Criteria:
The primary criteria for determining a winner will be the app's stability and performance while replicating the provided demo as closely as possible (the animation in general, also the particle flow and dispersion).
Your app must be free of significant flaws (including crashes, visual glitches, noticeable element blinking, layout errors, and more).
Devices:
During the evaluation stage, submissions will be tested on a broad range of devices and Android versions (Android 7-13) not limited to the mentioned below:
• Samsung Galaxy (A12, A32, A51, S22 Ultra)
• Xiaomi Redmi (9, 9A, Note 8 Pro, Note 11)
• POCO (X3 Pro)
• Oppo (A54).
Submissions:
Contestants will be able to submit their entries to @ContestBot later. We will further clarify the submission instructions closer to the deadline.
P.S. Winners may be offered a chance to explore further cooperation opportunities with Telegram.

Telegram for Android utilizes performance classification with SharedConfig.getDevicePerformanceClass() – each device is defined as HIGH, AVERAGE or LOW. In order for your app to qualify for a reward, your solution must work flawlessly on HIGH and AVERAGE devices. Introducing a proper implementation for LOW devices will be considered a bonus.
