Telegram 10 Update Presents Ephemeral Stories for All Users

In the realm of encrypted messaging platforms, Telegram is a name that stands tall. Known for its trailblazing features, the application has been in operation for over a decade. A feature highly sought after by users was the support for ephemeral stories, a request the team behind Telegram initially resisted. However, they eventually capitulated in July of this year. Initially, this feature was exclusive to Telegram Premium subscribers, but now it has been extended to all users.

The latest Telegram update, Telegram 10, marks a significant milestone for the messaging app. This update ushers in the much-anticipated stories feature, making it accessible to all users. The appearance of this feature in the Telegram 10 beta had already stirred excitement among users, and now it is being rolled out to the stable channel users. 

This update borrows several features from Meta platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram. The ephemeral content, akin to Instagram, appears at the top of the chat list. However, Telegram provides a full-screen view, unlike Instagram, offering users a more immersive experience. 

Notably, the stories feature on Telegram is hidden by default. This decision reflects Telegram's commitment to maintaining the private and uncluttered environment that its users appreciate. Unlike other social media platforms where stories are in-your-face, Telegram gives users the liberty to choose whether they want to view the stories or not.

The Telegram 10 update marks a significant evolution in the application's journey. By finally introducing the much-requested stories feature, Telegram has shown that it values user feedback and is willing to adapt to meet their demands. However, in line with its commitment to user privacy and experience, it also ensures that these new features do not intrude on the user's space. As Telegram steps into its second decade, it continues to innovate while keeping its users' preferences at the forefront.
