Updates to Web Bots, Stories for Channels and Channel Boosts Telegram's Beta version for Android update hints at several upcoming features, as analyzed by the @tginfo team. Channel stories and boosts It seems that Telegram is working on a "boost" system for channels, reminiscent of Discord's. Boosts will allow channel subscribers to vote for their favorite channels. These boosts might unlock special features for administrators, such as the ability to post stories to the channel. The exact features and rewards based on this system are still unknown. There could be different levels with varying limits and functionalities, and the number of stories available for posting might depend on the number of boosts received. It seems like only Telegram Premium subscribers will be able to boost, and as of now, it looks like Premium users will have only one boost in their subscription available at no extra cost. Telegram aims to introduce this feature to channel administrators in hopes that they will encourage their subscribers to give their boost to their channel. To facilitate quick access to the boost sending menu, a deep link will be provided. Users will be able to change which channel receives their boost only once a day. Story enhancements Users will be able to add background audio to stories. An option to pin a story to a post will be introduced. Improved login confirmation system Instead of receiving login notifications via personal messages from the Telegram account, they will now appear above the chat list. Statistics Channel statistics will now include data about subscribers with a Telegram Premium subscription. View photos or videos only once A new self-destruct option will be added, which prevents media files from being viewed more than once. Web bot platform update App strings indicate that in the next update, Telegram will allow users to add shortcuts to launch Web bots from the Android app's side menu. This feature might be available exclusively to select partner bots. It's highly probable that this shortcut feature was specifically designed for @Wallet, but it might be utilized for other partner bots in the future. The Web bot platform itself has been renamed to Mini Apps, and using them will require users to accept separate terms of service. Previously, an ability for Web-bots to store their data on Telegram servers was spotted in the app, with the data being synchronized across the user's devices. @tginfo speculates that this feature could've been developed for the recently announced non-custodial TON wallet. Testing suggests that the data storage feature in Telegram might also be exclusive to select partner bots. It's important to note that all this information is based on speculations from the Beta version of the app, so the features might undergo some changes by the time of release. #stories #boosts
