Telegram Stories Now Open to All Users

Telegram News 2026-02-09 Create

Telegram has rolled out the ability to post Stories to all users this evening, no Premium subscription required—even for accounts linked to Iranian, Russian, and Ukrainian phone numbers. This marks a significant expansion of the feature previously limited to paid subscribers.

Some users still report access issues, with the @tginfo editorial team suggesting a gradual rollout. Free users are capped at one Story per 24 hours under their own name; upgrading to Premium unlocks up to 100 daily Stories. Certain editor tools remain exclusive to Premium, including link stickers and custom story duration settings.

This update democratizes Stories while preserving premium perks, aligning with Telegram’s strategy to broaden engagement across its global user base amid regional restrictions.
