Telegram Rolls Out Exciting New Features in Latest Update
(CTN News) – With over 900 million monthly active users, Telegram continues to assert its dominance in the messaging apps arena, rivaled only by WhatsApp.
While both platforms vie for user attention, Telegram has gained a reputation for its swift innovation and continuous enhancements.
In its latest update, Telegram introduces a plethora of features, further solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the messaging space.
Telegram’s Latest Profile and Community Features
One of the standout additions is the “Recommended Channels” feature, designed to streamline channel discovery for users. By suggesting channels similar to those already joined, Telegram enhances user experience and engagement.
This feature not only simplifies the process of finding relevant content but also fosters community building within the platform.
In a bid to offer users greater control over their profiles, Telegram introduces the “My Profile” section.
This feature enables users to view their profile from another user’s perspective, facilitating quick edits to personal information. Additionally, users can now pin up to three stories to their profile, showcasing their recent achievements.
Telegram also enhances privacy settings for posted stories, providing users with greater transparency and control.
For those who value personal connections, Telegram introduces birthday reminders and celebrations. Users can now add their birthdays to their profiles, prompting animated confetti displays for visitors on their special day.
Furthermore, Telegram prompts users to remember and celebrate the birthdays of their contacts, fostering stronger interpersonal relationships within the platform.
The Profile section receives further enhancements with the ability to add Channel links and collectible usernames. Forwarded messages now include the profile picture of the original sender, enhancing message recognition.
Users can also hide their profile pictures from forwarded messages, offering increased privacy and control.
Enhanced Location Sharing and Advanced Group Management in Telegram
Location sharing on Telegram becomes more versatile with extended time options for live location sharing. Admins gain additional control over group management, with features such as grouped recent actions, customizable reaction types, and advanced moderation options.
Telegram introduces a reward system for channel owners, allowing them to benefit from ad revenue generated on their channels.
Telegram Premium users enjoy ad-free experiences, but for those who wish to support channels by viewing ads, a toggle option is now available. Premium users also gain access to Stealth Mode for viewing stories anonymously, a feature now extended to chat lists.
