to avoid doing these extra checks if we haven't yet cached all the required information (for example while displaying the chat list in the sharing UI) the <a href="/method/users.getIsPremiumRequiredToContact">users.getIsPremiumRequiredToContact</a> method may be invoked instead, passing the list of users currently visible in the UI, returning a list of booleans that directly specify whether we can or cannot write to each user.<br> Alternatively, the <a href="/constructor/userFull">userFull</a>.<code>contact_require_premium</code> flag contains the same (fully checked, i.e. it's not just a copy of <a href="/constructor/user">user</a>.<code>contact_require_premium</code>) info returned by <a href="/method/users.getIsPremiumRequiredToContact">users.getIsPremiumRequiredToContact</a>.</p> <p>This information may then be used, for example, to display a lock near the avatar of each user that we cannot write to, with an appropriate tooltip to purchase a <a href="/api/premium">Premium</a> subscription.</p> <p>Note that <a href="/method/users.getIsPremiumRequiredToContact">users.getIsPremiumRequiredToContact</a> should <strong>only</strong> be invoked if we don't have a <a href="/api/premium">Premium</a> subscription, only for users whose full info (<a href="/constructor/userFull">userFull</a> + message history information) is not cached yet, as the same info can be computed locally if all the mentioned information is available, and updated automatically using the usual <a href="/api/updates">updates</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer_wrap"> <div class="footer_columns_wrap footer_desktop"> <div class="footer_column footer_column_telegram"> <h5>Telegram</h5> <div class="footer_telegram_description"></div> Telegram is a cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging app with a focus on security and speed. </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/faq">About</a></h5> <ul> <li><a href="//telegram.org/faq">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="//telegram.org/privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li><a href="//telegram.org/press">Press</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/apps#mobile-apps">Mobile Apps</a></h5> <ul> <li><a href="//telegram.org/dl/ios">iPhone/iPad</a></li> <li><a href="//telegram.org/android">Android</a></li> <li><a href="//telegram.org/dl/web">Mobile Web</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/apps#desktop-apps">Desktop Apps</a></h5> <ul> <li><a href="//desktop.telegram.org/">PC/Mac/Linux</a></li> <li><a href="//macos.telegram.org/">macOS</a></li> <li><a href="//telegram.org/dl/web">Web-browser</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer_column footer_column_platform"> <h5><a href="/">Platform</a></h5> <ul> <li><a href="/api">API</a></li> <li><a href="//translations.telegram.org/">Translations</a></li> <li><a href="//instantview.telegram.org/">Instant View</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="footer_columns_wrap footer_mobile"> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/faq">About</a></h5> </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/blog">Blog</a></h5> </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/apps">Apps</a></h5> </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="/">Platform</a></h5> </div> <div class="footer_column"> <h5><a href="//telegram.org/press">Press</a></h5> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script src="/js/main.js?47"></script> <script src="/js/jquery.min.js?1"></script> <script src="/js/bootstrap.min.js?1"></script> <script>window.initDevPageNav&&initDevPageNav();
