Telegram Stories feature will become available for all, the company has announced.
Encrypted messaging app Telegram is rolling out a new Stories feature, which is similar to rival Meta-owned WhatsApp's feature. Telegram Stories feature will become available for all, the company has announced. Telegram has more than 800 million active users and it is rolling out its "biggest update yet", to mark its 10th anniversary. Telegram Stories features a dual camera mode, granular privacy settings, and flexible duration options, among other features.
One of the interesting features of Telegram Stories is the dual camera mode that would let users capture moments from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously.
“In just a decade, Telegram gained over 800 million active users purely thanks to word of mouth. Through numerous updates and improvements over the years, Telegram has redefined what a modern messaging experience should be like," Pavel Durov, CEO and Founder of Telegram wrote on his blog.
"The next step for Telegram is to go beyond messaging and spearhead innovation in social media in general. We should use our popularity to change the lives of billions for better, to inspire and uplift people on our planet. Today’s gradual roll-out of stories for all users marks the beginning of this new stage in the history of Telegram. While this past decade was exciting, the next 10 years will be the time when Telegram reaches its true potential," Durov added.
With this, Telegram has extended the Stories feature for all its users. Earlier, it was only limited to premium subscribers on the platform. This was one of the far most-requested features – and the company has spent several months innovating and refining the format. Telegram Stories have all the things a user can expect in terms of utility, ease and innovation, the company said.
