Enhanced Sticker Search with AI

Telegram has expanded its AI-powered sticker search, initially launched in December. Previously limited to 40,000 stickers, the update now allows users to search from millions using natural language queries like “Thinking monkey” or “Dog eyebrow raise.” This makes finding the perfect sticker easier than ever.

Advanced Video Features: Timestamp Sharing & Custom Covers

Telegram users can now share video links with precise timestamps, similar to YouTube. Additionally, you can choose a specific frame as the video cover, customize it with stickers, text, and emojis using the built-in editor.

Resume Watching with Saved Progress

A highly requested feature, Telegram now saves video progress, enabling users to resume playback from where they left off.

Crackdown on Unauthorized Content

Telegram has been actively moderating content, removing 15 million groups and channels last year. While piracy remains a concern, not all removed content was related to copyright violations.

Improved Bot Discovery with “Similar Bots”

Following its success with channel recommendations, Telegram now applies the same logic to bots. Users can find related bots through a new “Similar Bots” section on bot profiles, making bot discovery more seamless.

Conclusion

Telegram continues to innovate with AI-powered search, enhanced video features, and improved bot discovery. With these updates, the platform strengthens its position as a leading chat and media-sharing app.
