Telegram update
New messenger features
Telegram continues to improve its service, introducing innovative solutions for users. The latest update includes a built-in browser with multi-tab support, bringing Web3 to nearly a billion users. In addition, there is a mini-application store, the ability to give stars to friends and a number of other improvements.
Popularity of mini-applications
According to Telegram statistics, more than half a billion users interact with mini-applications in the messenger every month. These applications include games, AI chatbots, and other useful tools that significantly expand the functionality of the platform.
Mini App Store: a new way to access applications
To simplify the search and access to applications, Telegram is introducing the Mini App Store. Now a special “Applications” tab will appear next to chats, where users can find popular programs that open in the built-in browser. Developers have the opportunity to upload video demonstrations and screenshots of their applications, which will allow users to better understand their functionality before using it.

The Telegram browser has also undergone significant changes. Users can now minimize it while saving progress on the open page. This makes it convenient to interrupt your session for communication or other tasks, and then return to browsing the web or using an application.

Wow, Telegram never ceases to amaze! 😮 A built-in browser with tab support is what was sorely missing. Now you can easily switch between chats and web pages. Have you already tried the new features?
Hans
Yes, Isabella, I already appreciate the new browser! 👍 Especially cool is the ability to fold it and come back later. Convenient when you need to quickly respond to a message. And the Mini App Store is generally a godsend for lovers of all kinds of applications and toys.
Pierre
I agree with Hans! Mini-apps are the future. Imagine how many opportunities this opens up for developers. 🚀 I wonder what cool apps will appear in the near future?
Sofia
Guys, have you noticed that you can now give stars to friends? 🌟 This is so cute! I have already sent a few to my loved ones. Pierre, what mini-applications would you like to see in Telegram?
Victor
It's all nonsense. Why complicate a simple messenger? It was better before - just messages and that's it. And now they have piled up a bunch of unnecessary functions. It will only drain the battery and take up memory.
Hans
Victor, don't be such a grump! 😄 Progress cannot be stopped. These features make Telegram a versatile platform. By the way, has anyone already tried Web3 tricks? It's interesting how this works in practice.
Isabella
Hans, I haven’t figured out Web3 yet, but it sounds intriguing! 🤔 But I’m already actively using mini-applications. I found a cool bot for learning languages. Sofia, can you recommend something interesting from the Mini App Store?
Pierre
Isabella, I would like to see an application for joint travel planning directly on Telegram. 🗺️ It would be convenient to discuss the route and book everything in one place. As for Web3, it's truly revolutionary. Telegram is becoming a pioneer in this area!
