[Feature Request] Ability to set custom telegram API_ID #424

Closed eternal-sorrow closed 1 year ago

eternal-sorrow commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Right now you can't hide sponsored ads in channels, because then Kotatogram API_ID will be banned.

Describe the solution you'd like

This can be circumvented by allowing users to enter their own API_ID and only then enabling an option to hide ads. This is done in Neko X on Android.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Additional context

No response

Kotatogram already supports it: https://t.me/s/kotatogram/169

Ok, this is good. Then this feature request is about disabling sponsored ads when custom API_ID is used.

It's against Telegram's ToS, I don't think kotatogram wants to mess with them

This can be circumvented by allowing users to enter their own API_ID and only then enabling an option to hide ads.

Even if option will be shown to those who use custom API ID, Kotatogram's API ID can be still in danger, because both Kotatogram API ID and violating feature are implemented in the same build.

This is not the risk I'm willing to take.
