When sharing a video link on Telegram in chats or on other platforms, you can now add the current timestamp to the link. When someone clicks on the link, the video in Telegram will open at that exact moment, the messenger’s blog reported .
To share a video link, tap the Share arrow in the video player. This will automatically give you the option to add the current time to the link.
You can now choose a cover frame for videos you post to your channels. To create thumbnails, you’ll need to use the video editor to add text, stickers, emojis, and more before choosing a cover.
To choose a cover for your video, tap the three-dot icon in the top corner of the video editor and select Change Cover.
The videos you’re currently watching automatically save your progress — so you can take a break at any time and return to exactly where you left off.
All videos in Telegram support picture-in-picture playback, so you can continue watching while replying to messages and browsing other chats.
In December, we added artificial intelligence search for over 40,000 stickers and emojis from official Telegram sets.
With this update, AI now returns results from millions of custom stickers and emojis uploaded by Telegram users. You can search for complex keywords like «pensive dog» or «space dog» and the sticker panel will instantly show you exactly what you’re looking for. This feature supports search in 29 languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic, and Ukrainian.
Users can support creators with stars by sending a star reaction to posts on their channels. To provide greater privacy and allow creators to promote their channel on the leaderboard, users can now star react on behalf of one of their channels.
Star reactions have always supported an anonymous mode, allowing users to hide their name from the leaderboard.
As with channels, bot profiles now include a list of similar bots, where you can find other popular services, utilities, and games.
