After a recent Telegram update that improved Bot API support for forum topics (including createForumTopic method), bots can successfully create new topics in supergroups with topics enabled.
The API call succeeds (returns OK response + ForumTopicCreated service message appears in the group), and the new topic is immediately visible and usable in the Android Telegram client — it appears at the top of the topic bar/list as expected.
But on IOS or MACOS the newly created topic does not appear in the topic bar at the top.
Steps to reproduce
Enable threaded mode and disallow creating topics by users.
