We released an API to help developers build tools that let users import stickers from other apps, or easily make stickers from their own content. Bot developers also got the ability to display flexible lists of commands that change based on a user’s language, chat type, admin status and more. New sending animations were given to stickers and emoji, making them jump from the keyboard to the chat.Ī menu button was created for chats with bots, displaying all its commands as well as placeholders to give users an example of what to send. Users could pick from dozens of presets or create their own custom backgrounds with 3 or 4 colors in the theme editor.
A (Not So) Brief History of Telegramįor some reason, we started writing this backwards – from the latest update to the primordial summer of 2013.

On this page, we've compiled a Brief History of Telegram.
