Now users can post several photos or videos in one go. It’s great for dumping vacation pics or showing off an entire meme folder without spamming followers one-by-one. Telegram will automatically split videos longer than 60 seconds into a series of Stories, the same way as Instagram. Also new is auto-translate for channels. When turned on, users will see content in their devices’ default language. There’s always the option to revert to the original text, but this makes it a lot easier for people around the world to share information with each other. Creators can reach more people globally without relying on third-party tools.
Telegram has also made it easier for channel owners to unlock features through its boost system. This update lowers the number of boosts required to level up, so access to perks like auto-translate is easier to attain.
Telegram taps into the virtual collectibles market
Telegram launched collectible gifts earlier this year. Now these gifts have their own marketplace. Users can buy and sell these gifts using Telegram’s virtual currency, called Stars. Listings can be filtered by attributes like backdrop or symbol, while sellers can mark items for resale directly from their profile.
What started as a private messaging platform for Russian dissidents has evolved into a full-fledged content and community platform that spans the globe. Telegram has one billion users and is the seventh-largest social platform in the world. These updates make it even more useful to its users. And yes, it’s finally easy to dump your entire meme collection all at once.
