New Telegram features
According to the 9To5Google report, Telegram has introduced new tools for the stories feature, one is reposting stories from what their friends and channels have shared. Users can find the repost button below the post. While reposting, users will be redirected to the stories where they can add text, emojis, and drawings to the shared content.
The other Telegram story feature includes reacting to the reposted story with a video message. This gives users the ability to record video over the stories they share. To access the video reaction feature, you will be shown a camera icon which will enable you to record a small video message. The recorded message will be placed over the reposted story. The new Telegram feature will be available when users post the story from the beginning. Additionally, there are new Telegram features coming such as transcribed voice messages and story stats for channels.
