Telegram stands for freedom and privacy and has many easy to use features.
My Profile. The 'My Profile' section in Settings lets you view your profile as it appears to other users.
There you can quickly change any info like your bio and profile colors – or add your birthday and highlight a channel you own.
It also allows you to pin 3 stories to the top and quickly manage the privacy settings of stories on your profile or in your archive.
Share Sticker Sets. Anyone can tap a sticker in chat to instantly add the full set to their library.
Sticker sets also have a unique link – so you can share them in messages or other apps as well.
Sticker Editor: Create New Sets. After creating a custom sticker you can send it straight away or add it to a pack to share with friends.
Custom sticker packs can also include any existing stickers on Telegram – either from Telegram artists or other users.
💼 Chatbots for Business. Businesses can connect a Telegram bot to their account that will process and answer messages on their behalf.
You can control which chats the bot is able to access – like excluding chats with your contacts or only responding to new chats.
Developers can enable Business Mode in @BotFather to integrate their bots with Telegram Business.
💼 Start Page. Telegram Business lets you customize the start page for empty chats – adding your own text and a unique sticker.

💼 Quick Replies. With Telegram Business, you can create preset responses to send one or more messages with a simple command in any chat.
Typing a / in the message bar shows a scrollable panel with all of your quick replies – that you can send or edit in one tap.
💼 Greeting Messages. Businesses can write a greeting that is instantly sent to users that contact them for the first time – or who send a new message after a period of inactivity.
You can set your greeting to only be used for specific chats and chat categories, or to exclude certain chats.
Telegram Business lets users convert their profile to a business page and unlock extra features like:
💼 Location and Business Hours
💼 Greeting Messages
💼 Away Messages
💼 Quick Replies
💼 Folder Tags
Telegram Premium subscribers are currently able to access all Business features for free.
To see the full list of features, go to Settings > Telegram Business in any app.
Group Appearance Settings. Boosted groups have unique customization options – able to change the color and logo of the group's profile cover, set an emoji status or add a chat-wide wallpaper.
Admins with the 'Change Group Info' permission can access these settings from the Group's Profile > Edit > Appearance.
Boosts for Groups. Groups level up by receiving boosts from members or via giveaways.
Those who boost the group get an exclusive badge and allow the group to post stories and change its appearance.
At higher levels, groups unlock features for all members to use in the chat – like custom emoji and voice transcription.
Read Time in Private Chats. In 1-on-1 chats, you can see the exact time when your message was opened.
Read times have granular privacy settings, based on the settings for your Last Seen status.
To protect privacy, all read times are only visible for 7 days before being deleted.
One-Time Voice and Video Messages. The view-once setting can also be used for voice and video messages – after being played, the message is automatically deleted.
To set a message as view-once, swipe up to lock recording and then tap the view-once ⏲️ icon.
Share Posts in Stories. Channel messages of any type can be reposted as stories – adding a copy of the message that you can move, resize and decorate.
Anyone who views your story can tap to open the message in its channel. To repost a message, tap its share arrow ➡️ and select 'Repost to Story'.
Similar Channels. When joining a new channel, a list of similar public channels appears – which you can browse to find more news, content and memes.
For channels you've already joined, you can also see the list on the channel's profile.
Reply, Forward and Link Settings. When you combine replies, forwarded messages and links, you can quickly access their unique settings from separate tabs at the bottom of the screen.

Recommended Channels. The 'Channels' tab in 🔎Search shows all the channels you subscribe to – plus a list of recommended channels with similar topics.
Pulling up to jump to unread channels also includes recommended channels – after you've read all the ones you subscribe to.
Sticker Editor: Add Existing Stickers. Any of the millions of Telegram stickers can be added to your custom packs – collecting all your favorites in one place.
To add an existing sticker to your pack, open it in the panel and tap ➕ and choose 'Add an Existing Sticker'.
Sticker Editor. You can turn photos on your device into custom stickers with text, drawings, emoji and more.
To start, tap ➕ in the sticker panel and select a photo. The editor also lets you instantly remove the background in one tap or add an outline for that classic sticker look.
💼 Links to Chat. Business users can create unique links that instantly open a chat with the business and suggest a message in the input field.
These links are in t.me format, so you can use them in chats or anywhere else – like a button on your website or a QR code on a menu.
💼 Folder Tags. Business users can add colored labels to chats based on the chat folders they belong to.
Chats can have multiple tags – which dynamically update based on the folder you're viewing them from.
For example, an unread work chat would appear with Unread and Work tags in your All Chats folder, but only Unread in your Work folder.
💼 Away Messages. Telegram Business users can set an away message to automatically reply when they are closed or on vacation.
Both greeting and away messages support text formatting, files and all media types – and can contain multiple messages.
💼 Location and Business Hours. Telegram users can convert their profile to a business page – adding the location and business hours of their company.
To add business info to your profile or create automated greetings, away messages and quick replies – go to Settings > Telegram Business.
Group Emoji. Admins of boosted groups can set a group emoji pack – unlocking one set of emoji that all members can use in the chat.
Custom emoji are an open platform – so you can choose a set from Telegram artists, or create a unique pack just for your community.
Stories from Groups. Admins of groups that receive enough boosts are able to post stories as the group.
For each level a group gains, it can post 1 additional story per day. Replies to a group's story are sent to the chat – sparking new conversations.
Admins with the proper permissions can tap the story icon 📖 on the group's profile or select the group in the 'Post Story As' section of the story editor.
⭐️ One-Way Last Seen and Read Times. Users who hide their read time aren't able to see read times from other users.
Except with Telegram Premium – which allows you to hide your read time and still see the read times of users who share theirs with you.
If a user hides their read time, it is always hidden from all users, including Premium users.
Watching One-Time Messages. One-time voice and video messages can't be paused and can't be opened more than once.
The message will play until it finishes, or until you tap 'Close and Delete' – vanishing with a beautiful animation.
Calls. Calling another user lets you talk, turn on your camera or share your screen – all protected by end-to-end encryption.
Calls are available on every platform – to call a user, simply open their profile and tap the 📞 call button.
Code Formatting. Messages with text sent as ```code``` automatically identify the coding language used and highlight syntax – and you can click or tap to instantly copy the code.
Working with code blocks works best on the Telegram Desktop app, Telegram Web or Telegram for macOS.
Giveaways in Channels. Channel owners can promote their community and reward subscribers by hosting a giveaway.
Giveaways are a verifiable and transparent way for subscribers to earn prizes – like Telegram Premium and much more.
Channels set the giveaway criteria and pay for prizes in advance – then Telegram randomly selects the winners and hands out their gifts.
Adjustable Link Previews. When sharing a link, you can customize its preview – change the size of media, place the preview above or below your message and select which link to preview if there are multiple.
