Celebrating its 11th anniversary, WhatsApp continues to be the biggest rival Telegramannounced new features.
“Today is Telegram’s 11th anniversary. Since August 2013, we’ve built hundreds of features and reached almost a billion users with zero marketing budget. It’s all thanks to the support we get from you, our beloved users and creators. With today’s update, we’re continuing our tradition of giving back to our community. Introducing Star Reactions and Star Subscriptions that allow users to support content creators, paid media for bots and Business accounts, and a new mode for Telegram Channels that allows admins to post as other channels or personal profiles.” Telegram, which made the statement, added the following: He conveyed: “Users can now directly support their favorite channels and creators by sending them Telegram Stars using the new Star reaction. Channel owners receive 100% of the stars and can convert them into Toncoin cryptocurrency rewards or subsidized ads. Each post with Star reactions will display a leaderboard with the top senders, but users can choose not to appear there if they want more privacy.

Creators can now create special invite links to join a channel for a monthly fee with Telegram Stars. It takes just a few taps to create a dedicated channel for extra content, early access media, or VIP livestreams. Channel owners can monetize their efforts by posting paid photos and videos on their channels. This update makes paid posts available to bots — including bot managers on channels and bots running Telegram Business accounts.
When developers or channel owners use Toncoin to earn rewards for their stars, Telegram takes almost zero commission. If content creators decide to reinvest stars to promote their channels with Telegram ads, we will subsidize such ads with a 30% discount. When you post on a Telegram channel, subscribers usually see the channel name and image instead of your name and image. Starting today, you can show your channel as a group where admins can post as their own profiles or even other channels.
Channel admins can change which profile they post as at any time by tapping on their profile picture in the message bar. They will never appear unless admins explicitly choose to post in the channel with their own profile. On iOS, documents like .pdf, .xls, or .docx now open in separate tabs in the Telegram browser, helping you easily switch between files and messages in chats.”
