by Kay Lee

Telegram is stepping up its game once again. In its latest update, the popular messaging app has introduced several exciting features, including Stories for channels, reaction stickers in Stories, and the ability to add your own music to Stories.

  • Stories for Channels

Now, channels on Telegram can join in on the Stories fun. Users can give their favorite channels the power to post Stories by granting them boosts. The more boosts a channel gets, the more Stories they can post per day. This feature gives users control over which channels can flood them with content and how often.

  • Reaction Stickers in Stories

Users and channels can now add reaction stickers to their Stories, allowing viewers to respond with emojis in just one tap. Stories posted by channels will display reaction counters, showing the number of people who chose each emotion.
