Telegram Supercharges User Experience: Global Post Search & Cutting-Edge Features Unleashed

Telegram just dropped a bombshell for its billion-plus users—global post search is live, and it’s packing heat with a suite of slick new features. The messaging giant’s latest move slashes friction for power users and casual chatters alike.

Search like a pro—or a nosy ex

Scouring years of group chats for that one crypto alpha leak? Telegram’s new global search cuts through the noise faster than a Bitcoin whale dumps a shitcoin. No more endless scrolling—just laser-focused results across all your chats and channels.

Bonus features that don’t suck

While Meta struggles with metaverse ghost towns, Telegram keeps shipping actual useful tools. Think: granular privacy controls, animated emoji reactions, and—thank god—an option to disable that “X is typing…” anxiety-indicator. Small wins beat Zuckerberg’s $10B VR bet any day.

The closer: Another win for the anti-censorship crowd—and another headache for regulators scrambling to control comms. Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t figure out how to monetize messaging without turning it into a surveillance hellscape. Some things never change.

Telegram has rolled out a series of new features designed to enhance user experience and engagement on its platform, according to Telegram. This latest update introduces a global search feature for public posts, the ability to sort stories into albums, and the organization of gifts into collections.

Global Post Search

The new global search feature adds a 'Posts' tab, allowing users to find relevant results from public channels. This feature is initially available to Telegram Premium users, who play a crucial role in supporting the platform's operation for over a billion users worldwide.

Story Albums

Users can now organize their stories into albums, offering a new way to showcase favorite moments or content. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses and content creators who can use albums to display products or group content efficiently.

Gift Collections

Telegram now allows users to group gifts into custom collections based on various criteria such as theme or rarity. This feature supports granular filters, making it easier for users to browse through collections. The same gift can be part of multiple collections, offering flexibility in how gifts are organized.

Profile Rating and Premium Gifts

Telegram profiles will now display a numerical rating based on successful transactions with Telegram Stars, helping channel owners identify trustworthy users. Additionally, Telegram is introducing a new type of gift exclusive to Premium users, with limited availability to encourage timely acquisition.

Bot Management with BotFather Mini App

For developers, Telegram has launched a new mini app, '@BotFather', which allows for comprehensive management of bots and mini apps. This includes capabilities like updating settings and creating full-screen mini apps with advanced features such as geolocation and motion tracking.

Telegram's continuous enhancements aim to improve the overall user experience, offering more efficient content organization and management tools. As the platform evolves, users can expect further updates that cater to the growing demands of its extensive user base.
