Telegram achieved what no competitor ever did

In the rapidly evolving world of instant messaging, Telegram, a formidable rival to WhatsApp, has rolled out the 'Stories' feature, initially exclusive to its premium users. As Telegram commemorates a decade of service, the company has now made this highly-anticipated feature accessible to all its users.

Drawing parallels with offerings on platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram, Telegram’s Stories still stand out. The unique edge? Users have the liberty to modify their stories post-publication. A range of customization tools is at their disposal, from dictating the longevity of their stories to deciding who gets to view them and determining if they can be archived by the audience. Those under the premium bracket enjoy an enriched experience with perks like anonymous story viewing, an eternal view history, and an option to transfer stories directly to their device’s gallery.

The company's enthusiasm was palpable as they mentioned, “The overwhelming demand for this feature spurred us into months of relentless innovation and refinement. Telegram Stories not only match the industry expectations but push the envelope with never-seen-before functionalities.”

Engaging with the feature is a breeze. Users need only launch the Telegram app and spot the 'Stories' icon situated on the lower bar. Initiating a new story is as simple as hitting the “+” symbol. On finalizing the content, preferences on viewer accessibility can be set, and there's also an option to allocate a specific duration for its visibility.
