Telegram Will Launch Stories Next Month:: Check Features Here
Recently, WhatsApp introduced a number of new features, some of which were already present on Telegram. A new feature that is already available on most platforms other than Telegram is catching up with Telegram.
The addition of Stories to the messaging service will begin in early July, according to Telegram CEO Pavel Durov. According to Durov, users have long requested Stories, which account for more than half of all feature requests Telegram receives.
The company was first hesitant to include Stories since they “are already everywhere,” according to the CEO, but it wanted to honor user demand.

More than half of all feature requests that we receive are related to Stories. Initially, we were against this since Stories are already everywhere. However, Telegram wouldn’t be Telegram if we didn’t listen to our users and didn’t innovate on existing formats,” Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said in a statement.
Telegram Stories will resemble Instagram Stories a lot more and include many features that are standard on the Telegram platform.
Features of Telegram Stories
Users of Telegram Stories will be able to control who has access to each of their stories. Users can choose to make their Stories accessible to all of their connections, only a select group of contacts, or a list of their closest friends.
The conversation list’s top collapsible part will display stories.
By relocating them to the “Hidden” list in their Contacts area rather than the main page, users will be able to hide Stories submitted by any contact.
Users of Telegram Stories will have access to several photo and video editing capabilities. Users will be able to add captions to their Stories, as well as links and tags for other users.
Users can concurrently post images and videos captured with the front and back cameras in Telegram Stories, just like with the Be-Real app.
Also, users will be given the choice of when their story will end. They can set it to vanish in six, twelve, twenty-four, or forty-eight hours. Users can similarly display Story highlights on Instagram by permanently displaying Stories on their profile page.
“Telegram profiles will become more informational and visually appealing with the opportunity to save your stories to the profile page. You will eventually be able to learn more about the users you connect with in groups or channel comments, in addition to being able to browse more content from your closest friends, according to Durov.
The ability to “repost messages from channels to stories” will also be made available on Telegram. With the aid of this functionality, channels will gain more visibility, subscribers, and the ability to go viral on Telegram.
Even the Telegram team’s sceptics began to like Stories following internal testing, according to Durov, and Telegram can no longer imagine the messaging service without it.
Stories will be accessible in the first week of July and are now undergoing final testing. According to Durov, the feature would “mark a new era on Telegram” and help make the app more social than it already is.
Highlights
