A new format has appeared in the Telegram messenger – Stories. Stories are no different in meaning from those that have long been implemented in Instagram and WhatsApp (there they are called "Statuses").
To record Stories, you need to update the messenger (both the PC version and the Android and iOS versions). After that, a Stories creation button will appear next to the "Write message" icon. All messenger users can view stories, but only those with a Premium subscription can record them (at least for the first time).
As a reminder, Pavel Durov announced the appearance of the Stories format in Telegram at the end of June. Users themselves can determine who will have access to viewing stories: in the messenger settings, you can select all messenger users, only your contacts, selected contacts, or a list of close friends. You can also specify the expiration date of the story — 6, 12, 24, 48 hours. And you can also use photo and video editing tools.
