Sticker Editor — Create Your Own Stickers

Starting today, anyone can quickly create stickers and entire sticker sets using a new powerful editor — without leaving Telegram.

Telegram for Android and iOS Has Been Updated to Version 10.11

In the first update of April, Telegram received new features that allow all users to easily and quickly create their own stickers and entire sticker packs using the new powerful in-built sticker editor.

• "My Profile" tab: In the new section located inside the hamburger menu, users can see their profile as others would see it on Telegram, publish a new story or pin an old one, and much more.

• Built-in sticker editor: Now all users can create stickers using the built-in sticker editor. Based on the contents of the sticker, Telegram will automatically suggest the most suitable emoji that corresponds to to each sticker.

• Sticker Pack Editing: It's now possible to edit your own sticker packs directly on the sticker panel - for example, renaming them or changing the order of stickers in the pack. This can be done using the "Edit" button located next to your sticker packs name.

• Recommended channels: A "Channels" tab has appeared amongst the global search screen. It displays channels the user has recently joined, in addition to recommended public channels. It is probable the fundamental mechanics of this feature rely on the principle of the "Similar Channels" feature. They are based on the subscriptions of a particular user.

Other new features include: the ability to pin up to 3 posts in a profile, link preview for sticker packs, maximum number of reactions in a channel, notification settings for reactions, and the ability for Premium users to enable ads to display in channels.

Android: Google Play, APK from the official website or the verified channel.
iOS: App Store.

FAKE: "Telegram Ads Will Get Images and Carousel Galleries"

Some channels are spreading rumors claiming Telegram is preparing to introduce a new ad format inside the messenger. Particularly, interactive image carousels, ads between posts, and higher character limits are mentioned, along with other numerous additions.

For the source of the claims, the channels reference a Telegram story from Sales Manager at Magnetto․pro, an ad agency that specializes in Telegram Ads.

When asked by @tginfo's editors, a source closely related to Telegram insisted the claims are false, since the messenger isn't working at implementing such a functionality right now.

Recently, Telegram introduced a big refresh to the Ads platform, allowing advertizers to buy Telegram Ads in more countries using TON cryptocurrency. This might indicate the Ad Platform is still under active development — the company continues to explore new ways to monetize on its path to becoming profitable.
