Member Tags. Members in group chats can add a tag next to their name – to highlight roles and show their interests.

Admins choose whether group members are able to set their own tags or if only admins can assign them. The tags of group admins have a different color from members.

To allow members to set their tags in your group, go to Group Settings > Permissions and turn on 'Edit Own Tags'.

Captions for GIFs. When selecting a GIF in the GIF panel, you can add a caption directly to it, and send it all as one message.

GIFs can also be edited before sending – to add text, drawings and emoji or to trim the GIF and change its length.

To add a caption or edit a GIF, press and hold it in the panel and select 'Edit'.

Date Formatting. The 'Date' formatting option lets you set a specific date and time to add events to a calendar or set a reminder.

Date formatting automatically adapts to each recipient's local date and time.

Log In With Telegram. You can sign up and log in to apps and websites using your Telegram account in just a few taps.

Polls. In groups or channels, you can create polls to make decisions or get community feedback.

• Show who voted for each option
• Select multiple options when voting
• Allow users to add new options
• Let users change their vote
• Shuffle the order of options
• Hide the poll results until it ends

Managed Bots. Anyone can utilize AI bots to easily develop, launch and manage their own bot – with no coding required.

More information for developers is available here.

Guest Bots. Telegram bots can be accessed directly in groups and 1-on-1 chats to answer questions and perform tasks.

To mention a bot that supports this feature, simply put its @username in your message.

Guest Bots only have access to the specific message they are tagged in and any replies to it. These bots cannot see which users are in the chat.

To enable Guest Mode, bot developers can use this guide.

Bot-to-Bot Communication. Bots are able to respond to other bots, in addition to user commands.

AI enthusiasts can utilize this to create custom workflows with autonomous agents.

More information for developers is available here.

Chat Automation in Profiles. Every Telegram user can connect a bot to their profile – and let it respond to messages on their behalf.

You control your bot secretary with granular permissions – such as only replying to new chats or non-contacts.

To connect a bot to your profile, go to Settings > Edit > Chat Automation.
