Telegram now has a feature of similar channels and other innovations – Kommersant

Telegram messenger released new update, which introduced the functions of similar channels, the ability to repost stories and video messages in them. Users can also now customize personal profile colors and set wallpaper for themselves and other people in chats.

When users join a channel, they will see a list of similar channels that they will be prompted to join. They will be selected based on the intersection of audiences, and they can also be seen on a separate tab in the channel profile. Users will be able to repost the stories of their friends or channels, as well as supplement them with their own text, video or audio track. You can also now add video messages with user comments or just facial expressions on top of stories.

Premium subscription users now have the opportunity to choose unique color combinations with logos for their profiles, as well as set any wallpaper for themselves and their interlocutor at the same time. Now all users have the opportunity to transcribe up to two audio messages per week (from 2022, this feature is available to Premium subscribers), as well as translate them into another language. Channel administrators will be able to see statistics on views, reactions and shares of their stories, including in the form of graphs. Reactions from custom sets are also now available in channels.
