TodayAugust 23rd, Telegram celebrates its 10th birthday – with our biggest update yet. Over the past decade we’ve built hundreds of new features that are now used by over 800 million people. In this update, we launch Stories – with a unique dual camera mode, granular privacy settings, flexible duration options and much more
- Adds stories (most annoying feature on a messaging app)
- Can’t disable it
our biggest update yet
Meh
Stories are annoying, I hope there’s an alternative client that can turn them off.
Really dislike that we can’t disable stories (AFAIK). Thank goodness for Beeper.
That’s an advantage of having an open source client. Stuff like Forkgram or Nekogram on Fdroid could remove stories (if they were ever added in the first place, I haven’t tested)
Last I checked, they didn’t support separate chat topics.
What’s the point of another app at this stage? Moving people is hard.
Beeper lets me connect to multiple services in one app (e.g., Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, FB Messenger, iMessage).
too bad I can’t use that app since it’s invite only
They have a waitlist, but I can invite you if you’d like.
Hi, if it’s still possible I would like to get an invite too
Sent!
I never used stories in Signal and I don’t intend to in Telegram either
Signal having that shit is so off brand.
I wish it had an option to prevent unknown people sending you messages. I’m getting fed up of the spam from people I don’t know.
Does it not? I’ve never received a single spam message on telegram in my 6 years of use :S
I think that it notified all of my contact list when i tried posting a story. Not doing that again. Removed it in shame.
