After confirming last month, Telegram is now rolling out the Stories feature to its platform, with a catch.
Though everyone can view Stories, the ability to post them is reserved only for Premium users. Further, they can set viewing restrictions to some, all or specific contact while also making the published Stories disappear within hours or a day. This feature is available in the side menu instead of cooking in the top bar as other instant messengers.
Telegram Stories Feature
Telegram is touted as one of the finest instant messengers in the wild today, primarily due to its wealth of features that no other messenger has. Though prioritising security and chat features, it missed one key element other IMs have – Stories.
A simple post that often disappears after a day is a practical addition to the platform that lets users convey more or short-term communications. And Telegram is the latest one to pick up this feature this week . The company confirmed this late last month and now seeds into its apps.
