Telegram rolls out new features for Stories: Sticker reactions, music in Stories and more

Telegram introduced its Instagram-like Stories feature in June this year. The feature is similar to the Stories feature available on other messaging platforms. Now, Telegram has announced some additional functionalities for its Stories feature.
The platform has also introduced additional features such as View-once media, Reactions and music in stories to enhance user experience while sharing updates via Stories.
Here are all the new additional features coming to Telegram Stories
Stories for Channels
The cloud-based messaging app has now announced that the Telegram users can now grant their favourite channels the ability to post stories by giving them boosts. Telegram Premium now includes one boost that can be assigned to any channel. Channels level up as they gain more boosts – and for each level, admins can post 1 additional story per day to their subscribers’ story feeds. Telegram users have the control to decide on which Channels they would like to see the updates via stories. Boosts stay on the channel unless users decide to move them elsewhere. Channels can ask subscribers for boosts using a special link such as t.me/durov?boost.
Reaction Stickers in Stories
Both users and channels can add reaction stickers to their stories – letting viewers respond with even more emojis in just one tap. Stories posted by channels display reaction counters, showing how many people chose each emotion.
To add a reaction sticker, the users need to tap the icon in the sticker panel, and then choose an emoji from the dozens of options in the window. Premium subscribers can use any of their emojis as well. Everyone can add 1 reaction sticker to each story, while Premium users are able to add up to 5.
Music in Stories
You can now use music in your Telegram Stories. From the sticker panel, users need to tap ‘Audio’ and select a file, then adjust the track to select any section. In video stories, users can keep the original sound as well as move your added audio track to any point.
View-once Media
Telegram has also introduced the View-once media feature to Stories. In any 1-on-1 chat, tapping in the media editor lets users choose how long their photo or video will be visible after opening – from View Once to 30 seconds. View-Once media is permanently deleted from the chat when the recipient opens it. Like for all self-destructing media, saving and taking screenshots will not work for view-once media.
