“The ability to save your stories to the profile page will make Telegram profiles more informative and colorful,” Durov wrote in his announcement post. Or, you can permanently display Stories on your profile page in a way that’s similar to how Instagram lets you display Story highlights. You can have it expire in six, 12, 24, or 48 hours. In addition, you will be able to choose when your story expires. Notably, you will be able to post photos and videos taken with the front and rear cameras simultaneously in a BeReal-like style. There’s also the option to tag other people in your Stories. Users will have the option to add captions and links to their Stories. Users will be able to hide Stories posted by any contact by moving them to the “Hidden” list in their Contacts section instead of the main screen.
Stories will be placed in an expandable section at the top of your chat list. You can choose to have your Stories viewable by everyone, your contacts, a few selected contacts or a list of close friends. With Stories on Telegram, users will be able to decide who can see each of their stories. The company was initially against adding Stories because they “are already everywhere,” but wanted to listen to its users, Durov says. Durov says users have been asking for the feature for years, noting that more than half of all feature requests that Telegram receives are related to Stories.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced today that the messaging app is adding Stories in early July.
