People Nearby and Square run on Luckgram’s own servers. They are not Telegram features (Telegram retired its own People Nearby in 2024).

Discover tab

Available · See it on the features page

The tabs at the bottom are Chats, Contacts, Discover and Profile. Discover holds Square and People Nearby. If you turn either one off in Settings → Luckgram Features, its row disappears from Discover.

Settings moved into the Profile tab: open your profile and tap Settings; everything inside is the same as before. On iPhone the old Calls tab is gone, and recent calls are at the top of Contacts.

People Nearby

Available · See it on the features page

• Hidden by default. Others see you only after you turn on Visible to people nearby on the People Nearby screen. Before that, the app explains what is uploaded and then asks for location permission.
• Only a distance range. Others see a range such as “within 500 m” or “within 1 km”, never your location. Your phone coarsens the location before uploading it.
• Turns itself off after 24 hours. You’re reminded before it ends and can extend it. When you turn it off, sign out or unlink, you disappear from the list at once.
• Link your account and set a username first. When someone taps Message, your chat opens through your public username.
• Report and block. You can report or block anyone from their card. Once blocked, neither of you can see the other.
• Location is read once, when you open the screen, refresh or extend; never in the background.

Square

Available · See it on the features page

• A public feed. Square is a public feed every Luckgram user can see, with Latest and Hot tabs. Posts can have text, photos and short videos.
• Posted from your current account. Posts, likes and comments use the Telegram account you’re signed in with; you can start a private chat from an author’s profile.
• Public as soon as you post. New posts appear right away. Content that many people report is hidden until a person reviews it.
• Photos and videos. Media is compressed before upload, and metadata such as where it was taken is removed.
• Report and block. You can report posts, comments and authors. Once you block someone, neither of you sees the other’s posts and comments, and you’re hidden from each other in People Nearby.
• Delete your data. Delete your own posts and comments at any time, or everything you’ve shared in Square at once.

Scan

Available · See it on the features page

Tap ⋮ at the top right of the chat list; Scan is at the top of the menu.

• A QR code (or t.me link) for a Telegram user, group or channel opens that profile, where you can add them, message them or join.
• A proxy link opens Telegram’s usual Add Proxy prompt.
• A Telegram login QR code opens Telegram’s usual “Log in on another device” confirmation.
• Any other web address is shown first and opens only after you confirm; plain text can be copied.

You can also pick an image from your gallery to read a QR code in it. My QR code at the bottom opens your own code for others to scan. The first time, the app asks for camera permission. Turn it off with Scan and proxy settings in Settings → Luckgram Features.

Platforms: iOS and Android.
