<p>On this page, we've compiled a <a href="#a-not-so-brief-history-of-telegram"><strong>Brief History of Telegram</strong></a>. It ended up rather on the 'humongous' side of 'brief' – but that's what you get for never, ever, ever updating the app with a description like <em>'contains bug fixes and minor improvements'</em>.</p>

<p>For some reason, we started writing this backwards – from the latest update to the primordial summer of <strong>2013</strong>. And then it was too late to change the order because the guy who compiled the post said he would go on a hunger strike if we tried.</p>

<p>So if you're a fan of chronology, please <a href="#august-14-2013">jump to the end</a> and scroll up from there. This page gets <strong>updated</strong> each time a new post hits the <a href="https://telegram.org/blog">Telegram blog</a>.</p>

<p>Telegram’s unique <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#september-2021">interactive emoji</a> became available as <strong>reactions</strong> – giving users the ability to directly share their feelings on messages.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Spoiler formatting</strong> was introduced, allowing anyone to hide parts of a message under a special animation.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Message translation was brought to <strong>Settings > Language</strong>, adding a dedicated button to <strong>translate any message</strong> directly in the app.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Customizable <strong>QR codes</strong> were included for all <strong>public usernames</strong> – including users, groups, channels and bots – to quickly share a chat in any app.</p>

<p>A new setting was added to <strong>Groups and Channels</strong> that allows creators to keep their content exclusive by <strong>restricting message forwarding</strong> – while also <strong>preventing screenshots</strong> and limiting the ability to <strong>save media</strong>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The option to delete all messages from a <strong>day</strong> or <strong>range of dates</strong> was added to <strong>1-on-1 chats</strong>, giving users a way to clear specific sections of chat history.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <strong>Devices</strong> menu in Settings was fully redesigned, including a new <strong>auto-logout timer</strong> for inactive sessions and the ability to toggle whether a specific device can <strong>accept incoming calls</strong> or <strong>Secret Chats</strong>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>In Public Groups and Channel Comments, users were given the choice to <strong>send messages anonymously</strong> – appearing as one of their <strong>public channels</strong> instead of their personal account.</p>

<p><strong>Join requests</strong> let group and channel admins <strong>confirm new members</strong> before they are allowed join. This creates new options for communities – like a special superfans chat or super-secret channel.</p>

<p>It became possible to set <strong>different themes</strong> for individual private chats – for both participants. The release included <strong>8 new themes</strong>, each with their own <strong>day</strong> and <strong>night versions</strong>, gradient message bubbles, animated backgrounds, and unique patterns.</p>
|

<p>Nonverbal communication got a boost with <strong>interactive emoji</strong>: tapping on <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#august-2019">animated</a> versions of <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F8E86.png" width="20" height="20" alt="🎆" /> <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F8E89.png" width="20" height="20" alt="🎉" /> <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F8E88.png" width="20" height="20" alt="🎈" /> <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F918D.png" width="20" height="20" alt="👍" /> <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F92A9.png" width="20" height="20" alt="💩" /> or <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/E29DA4.png" width="20" height="20" alt="❤️" /> launches <strong>fullscreen effects</strong> that appear <strong>simultaneously for both chat partners</strong>. Vibrations are also synched, so you can almost touch someone's hand – even if you're far apart.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>A new <em>Seen By</em> field was added to outgoing messages in smaller <strong>Group Chats</strong>, allowing you to see <strong>which members</strong> have read it. To protect privacy, these read receipts are stored only for <strong>7 days</strong>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The ability to <strong>record video</strong> came to <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#august-2021">Live Streams and Video Chats</a>, so communities can save and share anything from online lectures to rock concerts. You can choose to record the video file in <strong>portrait</strong> or <strong>landscape orientation</strong>, and the file is <strong>instantly uploaded</strong> to your <strong>Saved Messages</strong> once you stop recording.</p>

<p>Forwarding became even more flexible with new options: a <strong>preview window</strong> that shows how messages will appear after they are forwarded and lets you <strong>hide sender names</strong> from messages or <strong>remove captions</strong> from media.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a href="https://telegram.org/tour/channels">Channels</a> became easier to navigate. <strong>Swiping up</strong> at the bottom of the channel brings you to the <strong>next unread channel</strong>. Catching up with the news is now possible without going back to the chat list.</p>

|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Animated Chat Backgrounds</strong> were added to all default themes – moving beautifully with each message. Users could pick from dozens of <strong>presets</strong> or create their own <strong>custom backgrounds</strong> with 3 or 4 colors in the <strong>theme editor</strong>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>New <strong>sending animations</strong> were given to <strong>stickers and emoji</strong>, making them jump from the keyboard to the chat.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>A <strong>menu button</strong> was created for chats with bots, displaying all its <strong>commands</strong> as well as <strong>placeholders</strong> to give users an example of what to send. Bot developers also got the ability to display flexible lists of <strong>commands that change</strong> based on a user’s language, chat type, admin status and more.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>We released an API to help developers <strong>build tools</strong> that let users <strong>import stickers</strong> from other apps, or easily <strong>make stickers</strong> from their own content.</p>

<p><strong>Noise supression</strong> was implemented in voice chats, eliminating background noise and <strong>boosting audio quality</strong> on all devices.</p>

<p>Payments were first supported in chats with Telegram bots in <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#may-2017">2017</a>. This time, merchants received the ability to <strong>accept credit cards</strong> in <strong>any Telegram chat</strong> using one of <strong>8</strong> integrated <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/payments">payment providers</a>. Telegram doesn't store credit card info and charges <strong>no commission</strong>.</p>
|

|
|
<p>Voice Chats were further improved with <strong>scheduling</strong>, showing a <strong>countdown timer</strong> and allowing users to get a notification when the chat starts.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Two new <a href="https://telegram.org/apps#web-apps"><strong>web versions</strong></a> were launched, adding full support for features like animated stickers, chat folders and dark mode. Both work well in <strong>desktop and mobile browsers</strong>. </p>

<p>Telegram has had self-destructing messages since 2013 in Secret Chats, but this update added an <strong>auto-delete timer for any chat</strong> to erase messages either 24 hours or 7 days after sending.</p>
|

|
|
<p>Two customizable <strong>home screen widget</strong> styles became available for both Android and iOS, giving users the option to show previews of recent messages on their home screen, or shortcuts to chats.</p>
|

|
|
<p><strong>Invite links</strong> for groups and channels were upgraded, allowing for additional links with a <strong>limited duration</strong> or <strong>number of uses</strong> that can also be converted into <strong>QR codes</strong>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Broadcast Groups were introduced, allowing large communities to have <strong>unlimited members</strong>. Only admins can send messages in Broadcast Groups, but everyone can still read along and join voice chats.</p>

<p>Over <strong>100 million new users</strong> joined Telegram within one month, bringing their friends and families with them. After January's update, they could also bring their old <strong>message histories</strong> from other apps. Users can now import messages and media from apps like <strong>WhatsApp</strong>, <strong>Line</strong> and <strong>KakaoTalk</strong>.</p>
|

|
|
<p>In addition to deleting messages for both sides without a trace (<a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#march-2019">2019</a>), <strong>call history</strong>, and <strong>groups</strong> users created could also be deleted for all participants at any time. While secret chat messages disappeared for both sides since <a href="https://telegram.org/evolution#october-2013">2013</a>, this update made it possible to remove <strong>entire Secret Chats</strong> from the chat lists of both participants.</p>

|
|||
|
|
<p>We closed the year by adding a new dimension to groups with <strong>Voice Chats</strong> – persistent conference calls that run in parallel to existing text and media-based communication in the group. Voice Chats add a live layer of ephemeral talk to the group and can be used as virtual office spaces or informal lounges for any community.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Android users got an option to use their <strong>SD Card</strong> for storing Telegram data. iOS users received support for Siri's <strong>Announce Messages</strong> feature. iOS and Android caught up with each other to offer equal opportunities for <del>drawing moustaches on selfies</del> editing photos and other media.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>We've unveiled a <strong>public platform for suggesting features and reporting issues</strong> at <a href="https://bugs.telegram.org">bugs.telegram.org</a>.</p>
|

|
<p>Pavel Durov also presented a <a href="https://t.me/durov/142"><strong>strategy for making Telegram sustainable</strong></a> for decades to come.</p>

<p>While the world locked down during the COVID-19 pandemic, <strong>Health Ministries</strong> began creating Telegram channels to keep their citizens informed of the latest updates. To help facilitate the spread of accurate information, the <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/coronavirus#new-verification-tools">channel verification process</a> was streamlined with a new <a href="https://t.me/verifybot">@VerifyBot</a> and a directory was created to help users find <a href="https://t.me/corona">official coronavirus news sources</a> for their country.</p>

<p>Focused on polls, the first update of 2020 added plenty of ways to get competitive – or organized - in groups and channels. <strong>Polls 2.0</strong> introduced options to <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq#visible-votes">show users’ votes</a> and the ability to <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq#multiple-answers">select more than one answer</a>, as well as <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq#quiz-mode">quiz-style polls</a>, complete with a <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq#bot-api-and-quiz-bot">platform for making quizzes</a>.</p>
|

<p>A new slider was added to adjust how <strong>round or square</strong> <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq#message-corners">chat bubbles</a> appear, and Android users received <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq#download-progress-counters-on-android">numerical progress counters</a> to <strong>track uploads</strong> and <strong>downloads</strong> (previously iOS-only).</p>

<p>The July update introduced <strong>animated stickers</strong>. We managed to achieve a smooth <strong>60 FPS</strong> at just <strong>20-30 KB</strong> per sticker. Animated stickers consume less bandwith than static ones and less battery than GIFs, while commanding more attention than the two combined.</p>
|
|||
|

<p>Here are some sample animated sets in case you missed them: <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/HotCherry">Hot Cherry</a>, <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/TidyTieTom">Tidy Tie Tom</a>, <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/ResistanceDog">Resistance Dog</a>, <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/FredThePug">Fred the Pug</a>, <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/MelieTheCavy">Melie the Cavy</a>, <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/EarlWoolf">Earl the Wolf</a>, <a href="https://t.me/addstickers/EggYolk">Egg Yolk</a></p>

<p>The second May update made Telegram Privacy Settings even more <strong>flexible</strong>. You can add whole <strong>groups</strong> to <em>'Never Share'</em> or <em>'Always Share'</em> exceptions. Settings will adjust automatically as people join and leave the groups.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>On Telegram, your <strong>phone number</strong> was never visible to random people in groups, the default being <em>'My Contacts'</em>. This update offered even more control via <em>Settings > Privacy & Security > Phone Number</em>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The update also introduced an easier way to integrate <strong>web services</strong> with Telegram, adding one-tap authorization via bots. Last but not least, it offered <strong>two</strong> new ways of <strong>adding comments to channels</strong> – via <a href="https://comments.app">Comments.app</a> and connected <strong>discussion groups</strong>. (We didn't start the flame war.)</p>

|
|||
|
|
<p>The first May update introduced <strong>Archived Chats</strong>. Unmuted chats pop out of the archive with the next incoming message – but muted chats stay archived forever (or until they generate a notification via a <a href="#march-2015-first-update">mention</a> or <a href="#march-2015-first-update">reply</a>). An <strong>unlimited</strong> number of chats can be <a href="#december-2016-first-update">pinned</a> in the archive.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Android design</strong> got a <strong>major overhaul</strong>. Aside from the visual improvements, this update added a <strong>three-lines-per-chat</strong> view option for the Android chat list (similar to the iOS default), as well as <strong>bulk actions</strong> in the chats list to easily delete, archive or mute multiple chats at once.</p>

<p>Before the March update, you could <a href="#january-2017">delete</a> your messages within 48 hours of sending them. As of this update, you can <strong>delete any message</strong> you've ever sent or received in <strong>any</strong> private chat, there's <strong>no time limit</strong>. This also applies to clearing entire chats. The deleted messages don't leave a mark in the chat.</p>
|

|
|
<p>This update also introduced a setting for <strong>Anonymous Forwards</strong>, allowing you to control when messages forwarded from your account link back to it. This way people you chat with have no verifiable proof you ever sent them anything. </p>

<p>This update also introduced <strong>presets</strong> for <a href="#february-2014">autodownload settings</a> to switch between <strong>Low</strong>, <strong>Medium</strong>, <strong>High</strong> and <strong>Custom</strong> data consumption in a few taps.

<p>As of this update, iOS users can also log in to Telegram with <strong>multiple accounts</strong> from one app, easily switch between them and get notifications. Support for multiple accounts was added to Android in <a href="#december-2017">December 2017</a>.</p>

<p>Telegram for iOS was <strong>rebuilt from scratch</strong> for this update – using the <strong>Swift</strong> programming language. The new client is slicker, faster and more battery-friendly. If the old Telegram was a race car, this one is a race car with jet engines and a well-caffeinated driver.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>New <strong>badge counter</strong> settings were added on iOS, allowing users to exclude messages from muted chats or count <strong>unread chats</strong> instead of messages.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <a href="https://macos.telegram.org">native macOS client</a> added <strong>swipe gestures</strong> to navigate interfaces. MacBook Pro owners got <strong>touch bar support</strong>. </p>

<p>October '17 expanded <strong>location sharing</strong> to include a <strong>live feed</strong>, useful for finding your friends or seeing how far they are from a destination. The interactive maps support multiple users, so your entire group can share their locations and see each other in one place.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Telegram also expanded its localization, launching the <strong>Translations Platform</strong> for users to refine the currently-available translations.</p>

<p><strong>Inline bots</strong> make it possible to use bot services in any chat without adding those bots as members – you just start any message with their username and everything that comes after becomes a query for the bot. These utilities can link <a href="https://t.me/wiki">Wikipedia articles</a>, post <a href="https://t.me/vid">YouTube videos</a> or search for <a href="https://t.me/gif">GIFs</a> to entertain friends. Unfortunately, while being very good at fetch, they still can't pull a sled – even after all these years.</p>

<p>The space-saving option of <strong>clearing cache</strong> was introduced, including chat-by-chat specificity. This was coupled with a setting to choose how long to <strong>keep media</strong> before it gets deleted from the cache (to be re-downloaded from the cloud should you need it again).</p>

<p>September '15 brought <strong>channels</strong>, the perfect tool for <strong>broadcasting messages</strong> to the masses. Channels can have unlimited followers, offer view counters for each post and only let the admins post. These one-way chats give updates the spotlight by moving the discussion elsewhere. Channels were quickly adopted in regions where freedom of speech falls short.</p>

<p>There were two Telegram updates on November 19, 2014.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a href="https://telegram.org/blog/privacy-revolution"><strong>Hiding Last Seen Time - Done Right</strong></a></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This update expanded <strong>Privacy Settings</strong> to cover <strong>Last Seen</strong> status, allowing unprecedented flexibility with <em>'Always Share With'</em> and <em>'Never Share With'</em> exceptions for individual users.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>This was also when <strong>account self-destruction</strong> was introduced. Telegram doesn't aim to accumulate and store your data when you don't need it anymore. So if you throw away your SIM card and it gets a new owner in 6 months, they won't access your chats.</p>

<p>October '14 marks the beginning of properly recorded history on Telegram. The first update ever to be described in a <strong>blog post</strong> brought <strong>public usernames</strong>, adding the ability to share your Telegram contact without disclosing your <strong>phone number</strong>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><strong>Secret Chats</strong> got a major upgrade, with self-destructing media showing <strong>blurred thumbnails</strong> and starting the countdown only after they are first opened. This prevented them from disappearing before actually being viewed. This was also when <strong>screenshot notifications</strong> were first introduced.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Telegram for Android received several updates, adding support for <strong>Android Wear</strong> and <strong>tablets</strong>, as well as <strong>video compression</strong>.</p>

<p>Congratulations on completing this (not very) brief course on the history of Telegram. You just got an honorary PhD in Instant Messaging – unless you simply jumped down here, in which case you still have a long way <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F9186.png" width="20" height="20" alt="👆" />to go to get <a href="#a-not-so-brief-history-of-telegram">back to the top</a>.</p>

<p>Armed with this much knowledge about Telegram, you should probably join our <a href="https://tsf.telegram.org">Volunteer Support Force</a>.</p>
