Telegram on Thursday announced a new update, which brings several new features for iOS users to provide them with a better platform experience.
The company now allows users to host live streams in Telegram Stories. You also have a 'Live Chat' feature where viewers can add comments while interacting or engaging with you.
Moreover, users can turn on scheduled messages and reminders to be repeated at set intervals for task automation. The company said that new Telegram Gifts will be launched on an auction basis to ensure fair distribution.
Telegram's new update
Telegram now allows you — as a viewer — to support creators and make their comments stand out using Telegram Stars. 'Live Stories' offer four privacy controls: Everyone, My Contacts, Close Friends, and Selected Users.
You can easily set scheduled messages and reminders to be repeated at intervals such as every day or twice per month. To use the feature, you need to tap and hold on the 'Send' icon in a chat, select 'Repeat' and choose your preferred interval.
Telegram for iOS has been further improved with more Liquid Glass interfaces, in line with iOS 26. Users can easily find redesigned profiles, an updated Settings menu, and a new attachment menu.
