Telegram’s Stories feature became available to all users today (Aug 14), after first being available to Premium subscribers last month. They show as expandable bubbles above your conversation, similar to Facebook Messenger’s Stories. Telegram’s approach, on the other hand, is more customisable, with granular control over who sees posted posts and for how long. “Now, when you meet people on Telegram, you’ll see exciting snapshots of their life — not just a few profile photos,” the firm noted today in a blog post.
Telegram describes Stories, which debuted in conjunction with the messaging service’s tenth anniversary, as “by far the most-requested feature” in the company’s decade-long history. Its privacy settings provide options for visibility for everyone, all contacts, chosen contacts, or close pals.Telegram’s Stories also allow you to conceal your posts from contacts you don’t want to view them, and Premium users can choose between six, twelve, twenty-four, and forty-eight hours of visibility for new postings.
Post creators can also get a list of Telegram users who have viewed their content. It also has a dual-camera mode similar to BeReal, allowing you to share photographs and videos shot by your phone’s front and back sensors at the same time. Viewers can also add a heart or choose from “hundreds” of additional responses to postings using the functionality.Some of the more advanced options in Stories are only available to Premium subscribers ($5 per month). Most importantly, paid users’ posts appear first, giving them greater exposure.
Subscribers can also read other people’s stories in stealth mode, removing any signs of their visit from the author’s record. Subscribers also get the previously stated unique expiration choices, a permanent view history (see who saw your posts even after they expire), the ability to save Stories to the gallery, “10 times longer” captions, and a larger daily Story allowance (up to 100).
