Star reactions: a new way to support
In honor of its eleventh birthday, Telegram has introduced many new features. Among them, star reactions are particularly noteworthy, allowing users to directly support content creators. Subscribers can now send Telegram stars via emoji, with 100% of the stars received going to the channels. These stars can be converted into Toncoin cryptocurrency or used for advertising.
Each post that receives stars displays a leaderboard based on the number of star likes. However, for those who prefer privacy, there is an opportunity to refuse to appear in this ranking.
Star subscriptions and paid content
Telegram is also introducing a star subscription system. Content creators can now quickly create a dedicated channel for premium subscribers, offering them exclusive content, early access to media, or special broadcasts. The process of creating a paid link is greatly simplified.
In addition, the ability to post paid photos and videos is now available not only to channels but also to bots, including administrative bots in channels and business accounts. This opens up new horizons for channel automation and business development, allowing, for example, the creation of permanent paid services.
Super Channels: A New Level of Communication
The innovative Super Channels feature allows admins to post on behalf of both themselves and the channel . This makes it possible to manage content more flexibly, and the authorship of a post can be changed at any time.
Improvements for iOS users
A convenient document viewer has been added for iOS users. Now files in .pdf, .xls or .docx formats can be opened in separate tabs in the built-in browser, which greatly simplifies navigation between documents and chats.
The update is already available to all iOS users, as well as those Android users who installed the application directly from the Telegram website. The version for Google Play will appear after moderation.

Isabella, I think this is a great opportunity for creators to monetize their content. I think this could lead to higher quality posts in channels. 💰

I agree with Hans! I also like the idea of super channels. Now it will be easier to find out which admin is writing the post. This will add personalization. 👤

Sounds good, but what intrigues me the most is paid media for bots. Imagine how many opportunities this opens up for automating business processes! 🤖💼

Pierre, exactly! And the document viewer on iOS is just a dream! Finally, you can easily switch between documents and chats. Convenience at the highest level! 📱👌

Bah, those endless updates again! As soon as you get used to one thing, they immediately change something. And why all these newfangled stars? We lived without them before, and nothing was wrong, we communicated normally. 😒

Klaus, don't be such a grump! 😄 Progress cannot be stopped. Personally, I'm delighted with the star subscriptions. Now I can create a separate channel for my most loyal subscribers with exclusive content. 🌟
