</div>
<p>This update lets users <strong>share entire chat folders</strong> with one link, create <strong>custom wallpapers</strong> for individual chats, use <strong>web apps</strong> in any chat and more.</p>
<p><ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/folders">Chat folders</a> can now be <strong>shared with a link</strong>– inviting your friends or colleagues to dozens of work groups, collections of news channels, and more. With one tap, they will <strong>add the folder</strong> and <strong>instantly join</strong> all its chats.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<videoclass="blog_video_player tl_blog_vid_autoplay"onclick="videoTogglePlay(this)"autoplayloopcontrolsmutedposter="/file/464001431/12041/bBjBt9rZqUg.67492/11474bdd30e5c6dbb8"style="max-width: 600px;"title="One link to rule them all."alt="Shareable Folders">
<p>Each chat folder supports <strong>multiple invite links</strong> allowing access to <strong>different chats</strong>. When creating a link, select the chats you'd like to include – and give it a <strong>unique name</strong> to match, like <em>Interns</em> or <em>Managers</em>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can include <strong>any public chats</strong>, as well as any chats where you have the admin rights to <strong>add people</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you <strong>add more chats</strong> to your folder and <strong>update its link</strong>, members will see a suggestion to join the new chats.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>To <strong>create a folder</strong>, open <em>Settings > Chat Folders</em>. For more details, see our <ahref="https://telegram.org/tour/chat-folders">in-depth guide</a> on Shareable Folders.</p>
<p>Your <strong>favorite photos</strong> and <strong>color combinations</strong> can become custom wallpapers in specific chats to give conversations extra personality and make them stand out.</p>

<videoclass="blog_video_player tl_blog_vid_autoplay"onclick="videoTogglePlay(this)"autoplayloopcontrolsmutedposter="/file/464001402/11aae/nl3N1N49HEE.44483/6a3a84b1334da731d8"style="max-width: 600px;"title="Paper, paper on the wall, who's the background of them all?"alt="Custom Wallpapers">
<p>After setting a wallpaper, a <strong>special message</strong> will be sent in the chat that allows your chat partner to add the <strong>same wallpaper</strong> on their side – or they can create their own.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can set a custom wallpaper in any 1-on-1 chat. To set a custom wallpaper, tap <imgclass="icon"src="/file/464001466/3/TUYKwGzdaIM.984/c472ac8f01ebdd57c8"alt="⋮"><em>>'Set Wallpaper'</em> in the chat header on Android, or open a profile and tap <imgclass="icon"src="/file/464001448/2/VHd-rEO8AMI.2898/1d9c403b5d0d54dbb0"alt="⋯"><em>>'Change Wallpaper'</em> on iOS.</p>
<p>Telegram bots are able to host <ahref="https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps">seamless web apps</a>, bringing <strong>services</strong> and <strong>utilities</strong> to millions of users – these <strong>web apps</strong> can now be launched in <ahref="https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps#recent-changes">any chat</a>.</p>
<p>Web apps of bots that support this feature can be accessed via a <strong>direct link</strong> or by <strong>mentioning</strong> the bot's username in any chat on Telegram. For example, try typing <em>@durgerkingbot</em> (followed by a space) in any chat — or posting this link: <ahref="https://t.me/DurgerKingBot/menu"><ahref="https://t.me/DurgerKingBot/menu">https://t.me/DurgerKingBot/menu</a></a></p>

<p>When <strong>launched in a group</strong>, web apps can now support <strong>collaboration</strong> and <strong>multiplayer</strong> features for members.</p>
<p>This further expands the already vast opportunities for third-party developers and merchants on Telegram — free of charge for everyone. <ahref="https://core.telegram.org/bots/">Check out the API</a> and start building!</p>
