I believe these new features were supposed to be included in the recent 8.0 major update, but they weren’t done with the migration to 64 bit IDs yet at the time so they had to leave something for the inevitable 64 bit IDs update’s changelog

      Yeah, that quote is bullshit. Also because as far as I know, the list of people who saw a message is calculated from the max message ID each participant has read . There is no method in their API specs to mark a message as read. So the server doesn’t store this information, but just calculates it from data that was already available.

      The only way this might “protect your privacy” is in a scenario where you haven’t opened a group for more than a week: the participants wouldn’t be able to know what’s the last message you’ve seen because they can’t access the “seen list” for old messages.
