Starting from August 1, four major mobile operators — MegaFon, Beeline, T2 and MTS — will provide subscribers with unlimited access to the national Max messenger. Usage of the platform will no longer consume data from tariff plan packages while the user is on the home network.
The national Max messenger has launched a story-posting feature for Android smartphone users. To use the new feature, it is necessary to update the app to the latest version on RuStore.
The stories section is located at the top of the screen in the "Chats" tab. Users can post photos and videos by tapping the plus icon next to their profile photo. Post authors have access to statistics: a counter shows the number of views and reactions, while a timer counts down until the story is automatically deleted.
The admissions campaign for secondary vocational education institutions continues in Russia. Training for future specialists in the IT sector in Tatarstan is offered by the Kazan College of Information Technology and Communications, Kazan Radio-Mechanical College, Nizhnekamsk Industrial Technical School, Zainsk Polytechnic College, Drozhzhanovsky College of Industrial Technologies and other institutions.
The admissions campaign for higher education institutions continues in Russia. This year, 45 universities in Tatarstan are welcoming prospective students. Training for careers in the IT sector is offered by KFU, KGASU, KNRTU-KAI, KSPEU, Innopolis University, and other institutions.
MegaFon Telecommunication Operator installed a new base station, and LTE network coverage has been expanded in the village of Ash-Buzi, Kukmorsky region.
Mobile communications and internet access are now available to 700 local residents, as well as to populations in neighboring villages. In total, the quality of digital services has improved for over 1,000 people.
Russian Ministry of Digital Development and the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation have announced the results of the second competitive selection for the "TOP-IT" project. The project is aimed at training developers of domestic digital solutions. This time, over 60 applications were submitted. The competition was held across two tracks.
From January to May 2026, the popularity of the mobile application "GosKlyuch" increased by 21% compared to the same period last year in Tatarstan. During these five months, residents of the republic installed the service over 382,000 times.
"GosKlyuch" is a service developed by the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia and is a key digital tool under the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State".
During the implementation of the federal project "Code of the Future," approximately 22,800 students from Tatarstan have learned programming and artificial intelligence skills for free. In the first half of 2026 alone, over 4,000 students from grades 8-11 and college students completed the courses.
A resident of the IT Park, the cloud platform TatNet.ru, has introduced two new services. Users have access to a fully compatible Supabase database service and T1000 — a website builder that generates websites based on text prompts. Both updates continue the platform’s core idea: reducing the path from code to a functioning online product and eliminating infrastructure routine.
TatNet.ru develops a unified infrastructure layer that enables deployment of code within minutes — without manual configuration of servers, domains, HTTPS, databases or environment variables. The platform is especially relevant amidst the growth of projects created with neural networks: code is generated faster and faster, but the infrastructure remains essential, and developers often lack the DevOps expertise required.
Doctors in Tatarstan have carried out over 51,000 telemedicine consultations and remotely issued approximately 46,300 sick-lists using Max messenger platform.
