Stories are now available to all Telegram users, Telegram announced the news on Monday. The function was initially made available to premium users last month and is now accessible to all users of the platform. The statement was made today as Telegram celebrates its 10th anniversary.
The ability for users to update their stories after they’ve been uploaded sets Telegram’s new feature apart from Stories on other networks. Once a story goes live on a network like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or TikTok, you can’t edit it. You have to delete the story and then rewrite it if you want to make changes. With the Stories feature in Telegram, a new approach is being used.
According to a blog post by Telegram
According to a blog post by Telegram, “You can update any element of your story at any time, by changing its visibility, caption, on-screen text, stickers, or anything else you want on social media.” For the first time in history, without. It has to be deleted and reposted from scratch.”
The rest of the Stories experience on Telegram is comparable to other platforms.
You can specify whether anyone, only your connections, a small number of carefully selected contacts, or a list of close friends can see your stories. At the top of your chat list, in the expanded section, you’ll find Stories. Any contact’s stories can be hidden by moving them to the “Hidden” list in your contacts area instead of the home screen.
When an article expires is up to the user. For example, you can set it to expire in six, twelve, twenty-four, or forty-eight hours. Or, you can display stories permanently on your profile page, similar to how Instagram allows you to display story highlights. You can also add captions and links to your stories. Additionally, you can tag other people in your stories. Additionally, you’ll be able to post photos and movies from the front and rear cameras simultaneously, just like BeReal.
Telegram is still offering premium users the benefit of stories, although they are now accessible to all users and not just paying users. Stealth Mode, a feature available to premium users, hides what they watch for the next 25 minutes and erases their views from any story opened in the previous five minutes.
Company CEO Pavel Durov said in June that users have been requesting Stories for a long time. Due to the fact that stories are “already everywhere”, the firm initially resisted adding them. But Doroff previously said the company wanted to listen to its customers.
