The Telegram messenger is actively developing, exploring new features and capabilities every month. I’m talking about 10 news items that were recently added to the messenger.
10 ways to upgrade Telegram in 2024 that many people don’t know about
1. Built-in browser
When you need to browse a site on the Internet, but you don’t want to clutter up your history, you can use private mode Safari or view the site at Telegram. A full-fledged browser with bookmarks appeared in the messenger and all that was left was to download the files.
How to use: edit the link to the desired site in Favorites and click on it to open the browser. Pages can be rotated in the bottom panel, opening multiple tabs and saving the desired sites as bookmarks.
2. Animated messages
This feature has been in iMessage for a long time, and recently it appeared in Telegram. You can send a message with one of the preset effects.
How to use: Enter the text of the message, and before sending, press the arrow button with your finger. 6 standard functions are available, the rest are available to those who pay for a Premium subscription.

The finished sticker can be sent to your interlocutor once, saving your favorites and even giving it the original size.
4. Business account
If you often communicate in instant messengers on non-standard issues, you can open a business account. WhatsApp has had a similar option for a long time.

These accounts are available with an active Premium subscription.
