Video Stickers. Easily create animated stickers from .WEBM video files in any editing program and publish them using the @Stickers bot.

For more details, check out the Video Sticker Manual and this step-by-step Stickers Bot Guide.

Developers can use the Sticker Import API to build apps for creating and importing stickers to Telegram.

Navigate Recent Chats. Press and hold the ‘Back’ button to return to a specific chat after opening other chats from forwarded messages, links, profiles and more.

When jumping through unread channels, previous channels from the feed will also appear in the list.

Download Manager. Control your media and file downloads from the Downloads tab in Search, or tap the ⬇️ icon that appears in the chat list when you have active downloads.

Pause and resume all downloads or individual items – and select one to view it in chat. On iOS, you can select an item to raise its priority, so it will be downloaded first.

Preview Media Albums. After selecting multiple items in the 📎 attachment menu, tap ‘⋯ selected’ to preview the message before sending.

Drag an item to change its place in the album, add a caption or remove selected media.

Browse Your Gallery. Quickly access specific folders in your gallery like videos, screenshots and favorites.

On Android, pull the attachment panel to the top of your screen and tap Gallery to select a folder from the menu.

On iOS, tap the 🔍 at the top of the panel to show all your albums.

Streaming Software Support. Live broadcasts in groups and channels can be managed with external programs like OBS and XSplit to add extra inputs, graphics and more.

Select ‘Stream with…’ when starting your broadcast, then paste the details into your preferred streaming software.

Phone Number Links. Post or share a t.me link anywhere to let others quickly contact you, based on your phone number.

These links follow your Phone Number Privacy settings – if a user isn’t allowed to find you by your number, the link will not work for them.

To create a more anonymous t.me link for yourself, add a custom username in Settings.

Browser Previews. Anyone can open t.me links to see profiles, posts or entire public channels in their browser – even if they haven’t signed up for Telegram yet.

These previews include buttons to quickly download Telegram for mobile and desktop, or to open it in Telegram Web.

Notification Sounds. Tap short audio files or voice messages and select 'Save for Notifications' to create custom alert tones that sync across your devices – like the 20+ sounds available here.

You can set unique tones for individual chats, or entire groups of chats. Add and manage tones via Settings > Notifications and Sounds or in specific chats.

On Android, tap ⋮ > Mute > Customize in a chat header.
On iOS, tap Mute > Customize from a chat’s info page.

Silence or Mute Notifications. Disable alert sounds from a chat or turn off notifications completely.

Select ‘Mute for’ on Android or ‘Mute until’ 🔔 on iOS to set a custom mute duration – pausing notifications for a specific period.

You can also quickly mute chats from your chat list.

Replies in Forwarded Messages. Select messages to forward them to another chat. Forwards show replies to keep the full context of the conversation.

You can control whether forwarded messages include a link to your account in Settings > Privacy and Security.

Bot Interfaces. Developers can create infinitely flexible interfaces for bots using JavaScript.

With these, bots can replace any website – like online stores, games and services.

Interface elements can update in real time, changing to match a user’s theme or night mode. Check out @DurgerKingBot to see them in action.

Bot Admins. Some bots are built for use in groups and channels – to help moderators or add fun features.

Bots can be added directly to chats from their profile, letting you instantly configure their rights.

Bots can be added to groups as members or admins, but can only be added to channels as admins.

Picture-in-Picture Playback. Continue watching videos while you browse other chats or even other apps.

Tap or click the PiP icon in the media viewer on any app to switch to picture-in-picture mode, and pinch or drag to resize the player window. To close the window, drag it off screen or tap the ⓧ.

On iOS, drag the player to the side of your screen to hide the video and keep listening to its audio.

An important moment for @wallet and the TON ecosystem has arrived. We’d like to present to you a simple and convenient way to send Toncoin to any Telegram user.

Now you can add @wallet to the attachments menu in Telegram, which will allow to send Toncoin quickly, conveniently, and without transaction fees — similar to sending a photo or video.

You only need to follow a few quick steps to get started:

1. Go to the @wallet settings and add the bot to your attachments menu. You’ll only have to do this once.

2. Open the chat with the user to whom you’d like to send Toncoin, tap the “paperclip” icon to pull up the attachments menu, and select “Wallet.”

3. Enter the amount of Toncoin and send it. For your convenience, the crypto amount will be shown in fiat (USD, EUR, etc.).

Thanks to this integration, you no longer have to enter long crypto wallet addresses and wait for confirmations.

But there’s more. Our team is preparing to unveil new and groundbreaking functions for @wallet users and the TON ecosystem.
