Telegram Update: Telegram Enhances Messaging Experience with 11 New Features, Including Premium Customization Options and Simplified Content Discovery

Telegram has introduced 11 new features to enhance messaging, catering to its user base of over 800 million monthly users. Premium users now enjoy increased customization options, including Profile Colours that enable unique color combinations with logos for their profiles.

One notable feature is the simplified discovery of similar public channels upon joining a channel, driven by automatic selection based on subscriber similarities. This streamlines content discovery aligned with users' interests, and access to Similar Channels is available from a channel's profile.

Users can now amplify the reach of stories from friends and favorite channels with just two taps, including the option to add text, audio, or video comments for an enriched storytelling experience. Reposting is limited to stories visible to 'Everyone' to ensure privacy protection.

Additionally, when posting a story, users can now add a video message, allowing commentary or facial expressions. These messages are customizable, providing limitless creative possibilities for self-expression.

For Telegram Premium users, customization options extend to Profile Colours, allowing a unique color combination with logos. The voice-to-text feature, once exclusive to Premium users, is now available to all users, facilitating quick understanding of audio content or language translation for up to two messages per week.

Channels with story-posting capabilities now have access to detailed statistics, including views, reactions, and shares. Channel admins benefit from a revamped interface for managing reactions, and channels can include custom emojis for a more personalized and engaging user experience.
