Telegram has introduced several new features that enhance the user experience and bring Web3 technology to nearly a billion users.

In-App Browser with Multi-Tab Support

The new in-app browser now supports multiple tabs, allowing seamless navigation between messages, websites, instant view articles, and mini apps. It also supports decentralized websites hosted on the TON blockchain, making Web3 accessible to Telegram's vast user base. You can bookmark pages and easily return to them later.

Mini App Store

A new 'Apps' tab in the search feature showcases frequently used and popular mini apps, making it easy to discover and access games and services. Developers can now include video demos and screenshots to preview their mini apps. Mini apps using Telegram Stars may be highlighted in the 'Popular Apps' section.

Sharing Stories from Mini Apps

Mini apps can now generate custom content, such as AI-generated videos or leaderboards, for users to share as Telegram Stories directly from the app.

Gifting Stars

Telegram Stars, which can be used for digital purchases or premium content, can now be gifted to friends. Special animations highlight gifted stars, especially on birthdays.

Front Flash for Video Messages

A new front flash feature enhances video messages recorded in low light. Simply activate it while recording to brighten your screen.

Weather Widget in Stories

An animated weather widget can now be added to stories, automatically displaying in Celsius or Fahrenheit based on the viewer's device settings, along with moon phases at night.

Customizable Story Covers

Users can choose specific frames as cover photos for their video stories, offering more control over their profile's appearance.

These updates make Telegram more versatile and user-friendly, offering enhanced navigation, sharing, and customization options.
