Telegram Gets Paid Content and News Option in Stories


Telegram update allows paid content to be posted on channels and options to search for stories by hashtag or location

OR Telegram received a number of new features to help content creators last Sunday (30). In addition to searching for stories of hashtag or localization, the platform now allows the publication of paid content with Stars, a sort of virtual credit to be used within the application with mini apps and other resources.



The update grants a series of resources to promote content, such as the ability to post paid photos or videos on channels. In other words, support is unlocked only after the transfer of Stars, which can be used to obtain cryptocurrency rewards in Toncoin or used to advertise the conversation itself.

According to the developers of the messenger, the use of resources obtained from paid content has “almost zero commissions”.

Telegram Stories Improvements

There have also been improvements to Stories that can expand the reach of ephemeral publications. Users can now search for content by hashtag or even location.

Telegram Premium subscribers can also include a link sticker, similar to Instagramto bring followers to an online store, posting on blogplaylist on platforms streaming and more.

“Only stories you have permission to see appear in hashtag or location searches,” the Messenger team noted. “Private stories never appear in search results.”

Gesture to minimize mini apps

Telegram offers a number of mini apps, including a digital wallet for managing the Toincoin cryptocurrency. To exchange messages without interrupting the service, for example, the messenger has gained the ability to minimize platforms, placing them in a small bottom bar.

The new features are now available to users on the Android and iOS apps.
