Telegram brings massive updates: sharing stories, new reactions, and more

Telegram has rolled out a new update packed with features for both free and premium users.

Telegram has finally made its voice-to-text transcription feature available to everyone, regardless of subscription status. However, free users are limited to converting just two messages per week. Premium users, on the other hand, enjoy unlimited transcriptions.

Other than this, when you join a channel, Telegram will now suggest similar channels based on the shared interests of its subscribers. This feature helps you connect with like-minded individuals and discover communities you might have missed otherwise.

Moreover, Telegram allows you to repost stories from friends and channels to your page. You can add text, audio, or video messages to personalize the reposted story.

Channel creators can now access detailed performance statistics for their stories. This includes data on views, shares, and reactions, providing valuable insights into how their content is performing.

Now for some premium users, they can set unique wallpapers for individual chats, visible to both themselves and their chat partners. Additionally, they can customize their profile page with a personalized color and logo combination.

My personal favorite is Thanos Snap Effects on iOS. Watch auto-deleted messages disappear with a super cool animation.
