According to Telegram, around 450 million monthly users don’t seem to use these in-app add-ons, therefore, to change that a new Mini App Store is being added to facilitate the process of bringing programmes in a much easier way.
Now, an "App" tab will appear next to Chats and Channels showcasing the popular apps. When a user opens the app it will bring to the in-app browser.
Moreover, the Telegram browser is also getting an update enabling users to minimise the app and save their progress rather than simply closing the browser.
In this way, launching links and continuing the conversation while retaining the web page will be easier.
The update is set to roll out today, although there is no confirmation when it will be available on the majority of devices. Developers can now upload video demos and screenshots to offer previews of their mini-apps.
Additionally, Telegram has also added an option to gift Stars to contacts as well as facilitating the purchase of digital goods in mini apps and getting access to paid content in channels.
