During the 10 years of its existence, Telegram has gained more than 800 million active users “through word of mouth alone.” In honor of the messenger’s anniversary, Pavel Durov announced that the Stories feature would be free for all users.
The next step for Telegram, he says, is to go beyond messaging and lead innovation in social media in general.
- Telegram creator Pavel Durov announced the appearance of Stories on Messenger at the end of June 2023. Then experts told RB.RU that the innovation is “another attempt to bite the part of the audience that migrates between sites “.
- Stories became available to Premium users in July. The period of validity of the publications can be determined by the author: 6, 12, 24, 48 hours or forever.
