Telegram launches new Stories feature with editing ability to mark its 10th anniversary

During the encrypted messaging platform’s 10th anniversary celebration, Telegram officially introduced its Stories feature for all users. Users may update their tales even after they have been published on Telegram, a capability not available on other platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or TikTok. This is an important distinction between Telegram and other messaging apps.

Telegram lets users adjust visibility, captions, on-screen text, stickers, and other features of their tales without deleting and reposting them, unlike other social networking sites.

Telegram’s Stories feature, which has a user base of more than 800 million, provides a dual-camera mode, movable privacy settings, variable time options, and more.

Users may still view their whole chat list and folders since the Stories are displayed in an expanded portion at the top of the screen. Users will by default be able to view all of their contacts’ articles on the site. They may, however, transmit tales to archived conversations and conceal stories from particular contacts.
