Telegram launched the stories feature for s in July, which was later available for all s in August. Now, the company has added new updates to the feature, allowing s to add music and reaction stickers to the stories. Moreover, s can directly send and share media in view-once mode, which can be changed anytime. Telegram has now extended the ability to put up stories to channels. In order to do so, they need to receive boots from their s.

In August, Telegram made its Stories feature available to all s. It works similarly to Instagram Stories and lets s put up stories for 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours. Now, the social media platform has extended the ability to post stories for Telegram Channels. However, they will be dependent on a boost from s to do so. Telegram will provide one boost per that can be granted to any channel. As the channels gain boosts, they will step up to different levels. With each level, channel s can post an additional story per day. s can still decide the Channels on which they wish to see stories. Channels can check how many boosts they need to grow their level by going to Channel Info > More > Statistics > Boosts.

Another update is the ability to add reaction stickers and music to the stories. s and channels can put up reaction stickers, and viewers can respond to them with a single tap. In order to add a reaction sticker, s can click on the icon in the sticker and choose any emoji from the provided options. While s can add up to 5 reaction stickers per story, other s will be allowed only one reaction sticker per story. s can add music to their stories by going to Audio > Select file > Adjust the track. They can also choose to keep the original audio.

Last but not least, Telegram will send a alert to s every time they from a new device. They can also review all the devices they are logged on by going to Settings > Devices.
