<p>Telegram users share hundreds of millions of stickers every day. Many of these are <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/stickers-revolution">custom-created</a> on the spot using pictures of friends or local politicians. Others are made by professional artists from all over the world. Starting today, we will be showcasing popular sticker sets made exclusively for Telegram in the new <strong>Trending Stickers</strong> tab.</p>

<p>You can find the new Trending tab on the Stickers panel and in Telegram Settings. We've made adding new stickers easier for people who have many sets installed. When you go over the limit of 200 sets, older unused stickers are archived automatically. You can reactivate them from the <strong>Archived Stickers</strong> tab in Sticker Settings later.</p>
<p>Many people have been using a chat with themselves or a small group to store their favorite messages or personal media. Starting today, there's no need for such lifehacks anymore. Just head to the Contacts tab and open the <strong>storage chat</strong> with yourself by tapping on your number at the top.</p>
<p>Feel free to forward favorite messages to the storage chat or send photos you want to quickly pass between devices. The handy ‘Shared Media’ sections will make finding content a breeze and you can always use in-chat Search for specific queries.</p>
<p>You can also access everything you send to the storage chat on any number of devices you connect, so this can serve as a simple but effective way to replace services like Dropbox right inside your messenger.</p>
<p><ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/invite-links">Invite links</a> are a handy way to add people to groups, even when they‘re not on Telegram yet. Today we’re making it easier for you to understand just what you're joining when you open them.</p>
