As confirmed by Messenger on its official Twitter profile, Telegram started rolling out the stories feature for users this Friday (21). However, the novelty is currently limited to subscribers of the premium version of the platform..
Announced last month by the messaging app’s CEO Pavel Durov, the feature was an old request from WhatsApp rival users. The admin said he was against adding stories to Telegram at the time, but decided to change his mind as more than half of the requests were specifically related.
with tool, It is possible to choose who sees your posts, making them visible to everyone, only to your connections, selected contacts or a limited list of close friends.. The app also lets you add captions and links to temporary posts and tag others.
Telegram stories, just like on other platforms, are displayed in an area above the conversations at the top of the screen, making them easier to see. The subscriber also has the option to hide posts made by any person, freeing up space on the main screen of the application and sending them to the “Hidden” list.
Dual camera and time
Messenger also allows you to add: Photos and videos taken simultaneously with the front and rear cameras, similar to what happened on BeReal. Another available option is the possibility to define how long the story will be available.
The alternatives offered are 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours, but you can keep a post on your profile permanently before it expires if you wish. Messenger has not confirmed whether and when the free version of Telegram will publish stories for its users..
