Telegram Launches Story Feature For Select Users – Get the Details Here
Telegram, the encrypted messaging platform, has introduced a new Story feature on its platform. This latest addition will enable premium users to share stories with their desired audience, including non-premium users.
The Story feature is now available in the latest version of Telegram for Android, iOS and Desktop.
The new feature will appear at the top of the screen, above the global chat search. It allows users to share images, videos, and text that disappear after 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours, or can be set to remain permanently on the user’s profile.
Users can individually select the people who can see the story.
Telegram stories also support dual camera functions that allow users to capture photos and videos simultaneously with both the front and back cameras.
In addition, premium users can add new features to their stories, such as animated stickers, polls, and quizzes, allowing premium users to create more engaging and interactive stories.
Meanwhile, Telegram has raised $210 million from multiple investors through a bond sale. Investors include its founder and CEO Pavel Durov.
John Hyman, Telegram’s chief investment adviser, told TechCrunch that the platform raised capital by issuing $270 million worth of bonds because “interest rates have risen significantly since 2021, the bonds have a different issue price.”
