News & Reviews:   Telegram Messenger

Telegram Messenger is now sharing that they are targeting the messaging platform to reach 1 billion active users in 2024. Currently, the messaging service has around 900 million monthly active users.

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.

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.

Due to WhatsApp's new privacy policy, many users have been moving to other messaging apps. We even wrote a short article introducing some other alternatives you could use. If you are considering Telegram, the app has just gotten a major update.

Pavel Durov, the founder and product manager of Telegram Messenger recently revealed that Telegram will launch paid features in 2021 while current chat features that are free, will continue to stay free... forever. Fear not though, as he has mentioned that the encrypted Telegram Messenger will continue to remain private (so there won’t be any selling of private data, whew), but there may be their own ads platform coming soon.
