More information about the upcoming update in Telegram

The code update in the official repository of Telegram Desktop on GitHub has provided more details regarding the upcoming update in addition to the list we previously published:

• Changelogs in stories

In future Telegram updates, the platform is likely to start sharing its changelogs in the form of stories.

• Different limits for Telegram Premium owners and regular users

Story caption: 200 characters for regular users and 2048 characters for Telegram Premium owners.

Story self-destruct timer: We are still not certain, but it seems that it will be possible to set a lifespan for stories up to 30 days (or hours, as there is no exact information yet) for regular users and up to 100 days for Premium users. There are no screenshots on the translation platform that include such values.

• Ability to report stories

Stories will be displayed on user profiles. In the stories themselves, it will be possible to mention (@username) other users, who will receive corresponding notifications. In order to prevent abuse of this feature, the messenger's team will add violation reporting functionality for stories.

• New format for in-app advertising

A new advertising format will be introduced in channels (not in stories): image + text + link. The link can also lead to an external resource, for which Telegram will add click tracking for advertising links.

It is important to note that all information is based on assumptions from the API schema, so the story mechanism may undergo some changes before the release.
