According to PANews, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, announced on his personal Telegram channel that the platform has introduced 17 new features this month. These are not just minor improvements or bug fixes, but significant enhancements that expand the ways users can use Telegram.
For instance, users can now explore recommended channels, and a new unlimited real-time location feature transforms groups into location-based networks for families and close friends. Custom emojis have turned traditional voting into widely adjustable surveys, and the addition of a 'My Profile' section has enhanced Telegram's social attributes.
Moreover, story reaction notifications have made story publishing more interesting, and new group admin tools have simplified the management of large communities. Durov also specifically mentioned a new sticker maker introduced ten days ago. These updates are expected to improve user experience and engagement on the platform.
