News & Reviews:   TELEGRAM

Previously, we reported that Telegram would be rolling out a ‘Stories’ feature on the platform in early July and while the company is a bit late, the feature is now here. There’s a catch though, as currently, it is only available in full for Premium users of the app.

Today, Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO announced that the Telegram app will have Stories. Prior to this, Telegram was actually against it but as one of the most requested features by Telegram users, it will be launched soon in the Telegram way.

Yesterday, Telegram finally met up with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Ministry of Communications and Digital. In conclusion, it was reported that Telegram will be working closely with the Malaysian government as well as the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to tackle cybercrime.

Previously, we reported that the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is weighing its options with Telegram, including blocking the platform. This is after the platform refused to meet with the commission as well as the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) regarding issues of spreading pornography, hate groups, scams and others.

Well, It seems that the disagreement may resolve soon as the former has finally agreed to meet with MCMC and KKD. As reported by Malaysiakini, the meeting was confirmed by KKD Minister Fahmi Fadzil after being queried by the press.

In the ongoing drama, it was reported that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is deciding what to do after Telegram won't cooperate or respond. According to the COO, Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin, MCMC may have to block the social messaging platform.

In March, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) started scrutinising Telegram over the contents being spread on the platform. It has since responded that it didn't want to "participate in political censorship". Now, the ministry could be ready to drop the hammer.

Back in March, the Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) wanted to meet up with Telegram regarding issues of spreading pornography, hate groups, scams and others. Telegram didn't bother, though, but here's the real reason why the group refused to cooperate with KKD.

Popular messaging platform Telegram has announced several new features to its app via an update. These include a new Power Saving mode, optimisation for lower-end Android devices and more.

The Ministry of Communications and Digital (KKD) would be calling up messaging platform Telegram to discuss issues involving the application, especially regarding the security of users. Its Minister, Fahmi Fadzil said that although Telegram was used by many, including the government to share information, KKD would not compromise when it comes to matters of public security.
