Telegram stands for freedom and privacy and has many easy to use features.
Collages In Stories. The story interface lets you combine up to 6 photos and videos in customizable layouts.
You can add media to collages from your gallery or with the in-app camera. To rearrange tiles, hold and drag them into place. To remove a tile or retake a photo or video, simply tap.
After adding your media, you can adjust your videos and music on a timeline to change their length or volume.
Creating Affiliate Programs. Bots and mini apps can host affiliate programs – a transparent way to quickly scale with organic growth from user referrals.
Developers set a custom commission rate and duration for their affiliate program – dictating what percentage affiliates will receive from qualifying purchases, and for how long.
To start an affiliate program, open the profile page of your mini app, then tap Edit > Affiliate Program.
For more information on creating and managing affiliate programs, see our detailed guide.

Mini Apps: Setting Emoji Status. Premium users can set an emoji status inside mini apps – or give apps permission to automatically change their status.
Mini apps can also integrate APIs from other services – updating your status when you're in a game 🎮 or watching a movie 🍿.
Similarly, location permissions can be used to instantly change your status from at work 💼 to on vacation 🧳.
Mini Apps: Geolocation Access. You can choose to share your location with mini apps – allowing developers to make location-based games with points of interest or interactive maps for events.
Access to location data is disabled by default – you must specifically give permission to each individual mini app in order to share your location.

Chat-Specific Hashtags. Groups and channels can use the format #hashtag@username for hashtags to make their content more accessible.
These hashtags automatically filter search results when tapped and only show posts and stories from the specified chat.
Add Media to Sent Messages. Messages sent without an attachment can be edited to add media and files – from any of your devices.
You can also edit sent media to re-edit photos or replace media in a message.
Optimized Videos in Channels. In large channels, Telegram optimizes videos when they are posted – offering subscribers multiple quality settings for the video.
This allows channel owners to post videos in better quality – without impacting subscribers on weaker connections.
Detailed User Reports. If you come across a message that violates Telegram's Terms of Service, you can quickly report it to our moderators from any Telegram app.
To report a message, tap on Android, hold on iOS or right-click on Desktop and Web.
The reporting menu has detailed options for every category – improving reports for moderators and helping scale Telegram's AI moderation tools.
Gifts. Users can now send gifts to each other – celebrating holidays and achievements with animated artwork and custom messages.
Gifts are purchased with Telegram Stars – recipients can choose to display gifts on their profile or convert them back to Stars for their own balance.
To send a gift, open the user's profile and tap ➕/➕> Send a Gift. When sending a gift you can hide your name – making it so only the recipient is able to see who sent it.
Star Giveaways. Giveaways in groups and channels support Telegram Stars – which winners can spend on paid media, subscriptions and mini apps.
Communities that host giveaways receive boosts in return, allowing them to unlock perks like posting stories.
Channel owners can start a giveaway via Channel Settings > Statistics > Boosts. For groups, go to Group Info > Statistics > Boosts.
Super Channels. Channel owners can make their feed look more like a group – letting admins post as their own profiles or other channels.
This allows multiple authors to personalize their posts – or combine communities from several content creators.
Admins in Super Channels are still anonymous – they are never visible unless they explicitly choose to post with their own profile.
To enable this functionality, go to Channel Settings > Administrators, turn on Sign Messages and Show Authors' Profiles.
Star Subscriptions. Content creators can make special invite links that allow users to join a channel for a monthly payment in Telegram Stars.
This lets content creators make exclusive channels with extra content or special perks – in addition to any free or public channels they may already have.
Story Covers. When posting a video story to your profile, you can choose which frame to use as its cover photo.
The My Profile section in Settings allows you to pin 3 stories to your profile, add past stories from your archive – and manage their privacy settings.
AI-Powered Sticker Search. The sticker panel supports complex searches with multiple keywords like cat drinking coffee – in dozens of languages.
This is available for Telegram Premium users in the emoji panel as well – instantly returning results from thousands of official emoji.
You can also quickly get sticker suggestions right from the message bar and use shortcuts to quickly input emoji.
Affiliate Programs. Any Telegram user can earn Stars by joining affiliate programs launched by developers.
In Settings > My Stars you can explore the list of available programs and sort them by their start date, total revenue or potential profit.
Tap a program to join it and generate your unique referral link to share with other users. Each time someone you referred makes a purchase in the mini app, you will receive a percentage of the Stars used.
More details on affiliate programs can be found in this guide.
