In a WhatsApp.

s will be able to see Stories in an expandable section at the top of the screen. A quick tap on a story will allow them to share, reply privately or react to it. One tap will send a heart emoji reaction, while a long press will allow s to choose from a range of other emojis to react with.

WhatsApp Beta Adds for Its First AI Feature: Here's What It Does

A significant the Stories feature is a new dual-mode camera that allows s to post a single story using both the rear and front cameras. This provides a picture-in-picture-like layout that we get during video calls. s will be able to take a photo or a video using the rear camera and most of the screen will be covered with that image or video, while the output recorded using the front camera will appear in a smaller circle on the top left corner of the screen.

Like Instagram, Telegram will allow s to add text, drawings, stickers and location tags to their stories. s can also add additional images from their gallery or search for any GIF options to add to the story. The new update also s captions - where s can put in longer text descriptions, tag friends or add links.

Privacy settings in Telegram have been updated with granular controls and the app offers four sub-sections — Everyone, My s, Close Friends and Selected s. These can be further customised, according to Telegram. s can also select s who will never be able to view any of their stories. By default, the stories from someone's s will appear on their profile.

The time that a story stays up can also be decided by the s. It can be 6, 12, 24 or 48 hours and they can also post the stories to their profile where both old and new connections will be able to view the stories in a grid-like format.

Another major update with the Telegram story feature is that, unlike any other platform, s can edit their stories. Once posted, changing any single element of a story is not permitted on Instagram, for instance. One has to delete the story, make wanted changes and then re the story. However, Telegram, with this update allows s to edit any element of their story at any time – from its visibility, caption, on-screen text, stickers or anything else.

s can view read receipts of their stories and sort them by recent views first or reactions first. Telegram subscribers are allowed to enable Stealth Mode – which erases their views from any stories they opened in the 5 minutes previous to enabling the mode, and hide what they view for the next 25 minutes.
