Story feature will come to Telegram from next month

The CEO of Telegram announced that the popular story feature will be added to these messengers from the beginning of July. In the following, we will get to know more details about this feature.

The CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov, officially announced today that this messenger will be equipped with the story feature from July.

Since a long time ago, the addition of stories has been at the top of Telegram users’ requests from its developers. However, this company refused to add stories to Telegram because most messengers and other social applications in the market are also equipped with this feature.

However, now Durov and the Telegram team intend to respect the wishes of their users.

How will Telegram’s story feature be different from other applications?

People who post stories on Telegram can decide who can see them. For example, you can determine whether friends, people in the contact list or a certain category of them (close friends) can view the stories.

Telegram stories are located at the top of the chats and the panel related to them can be expanded.

In addition, users can hide stories according to their opinion. To do this, it is enough to transfer the relevant story to the Hidden section in the contacts list.

Telegram users can also add links or captions to their stories. It will also be possible to add or tag other people to the stories, and those interested can also put the pictures taken by the selfie and main cameras in their stories at the same time.

The ability to determine the time when the story disappears will be another attractive feature of Telegram in this section. Users can set the story to disappear in six hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours. In addition, stories can be added to the user’s profile page, just like what we saw on Instagram.

According to Pavel Durov, the ability to add stories to Telegram users’ profiles can make their profiles more visible and provide more information to others.

On the other hand, the story feature in the Telegram messenger can also increase the visibility of the channels of this social network. For example, publishing a post from a channel in the form of a story can help the post and the corresponding channel go viral.

According to the CEO of Telegram, after conducting internal tests of this feature, even the most pessimistic employees of Telegram have admitted to its attractive features, and some have even claimed that they cannot imagine these messengers without stories!

It should be noted that the Stories section of Telegram messengers is currently in the testing phase and will probably be available to users in early July.

The CEO of Telegram has claimed that this feature will start a new era in the lives of these messengers and will cause more influence among users and enthusiasts.
