As with anything on Telegram, further updates will bring more powerful tools for both admins and users of this feature.

Collectible Usernames

-

Telegram users can make it easy for others to contact them or find their public groups and channels via usernames. In addition to one basic username, you can now assign multiple collectible usernames to each of your accounts and public chats.

Telegram users can make it easy for others to contact them or find their public groups and channels via usernames. You can now assign collectible usernames to each of your accounts and public chats.

The ownership of collectible usernames is secured by TON, a fast and scalable blockchain network. They can be bought and sold through a new platform, giving a simple and secure way to acquire and exchange valuable Telegram domains.

Collectible usernames work just like basic @usernames, they appear in Global Search results and have their own links that can be used outside of Telegram: username.t.me and t.me/username.

-

Unlike basic usernames, collectible usernames can be less than 5 characters long – making it possible to get unique names like @news or @game. Once acquired, a user has full control over their collectible username, able to trade it or retain it for later use.

-
-

You can deactivate any of your collectible usernames – making them invisible in search results without losing the name.

Premium Voice-to-Text for Video Messages

Since the launch of Telegram Premium, subscribers have been able to convert any voice message to text – for times when it's more convenient to read than listen along. This update adds the same functionality to video messages, allowing Premium users to get an instant text transcript.

You can set a public username on Telegram. It then becomes possible for other users to find you by that username – you will appear in search under 'global results'. Please note that people who find you will be able to send you messages, even if they don't know your number. If you are not comfortable with this, we advise against setting a username on Telegram.

You can set up a username in Settings and use the universal search box in the chat list to search for chats, messages, and usernames.

Q: What are Collectible Usernames? How are they different from basic usernames?

-

Collectible usernames work just like basic usernames, they appear in Global Search results and have their own links that can be used outside of Telegram: username.t.me and t.me/username. However, collectibles can be less than 5 characters long and you can have multiple collectible usernames for your profile or each of your public groups or public channels.

-
-

For example, your profile could have the basic username @Username as well as the collectible usernames @WorkUsername and @FunUsername – if a user searched for any of these or mentioned them in a chat, they would all lead to your profile.

-
-

Collectible usernames can be bought and sold through the Fragment auction platform, giving a simple and secure way to acquire and exchange valuable Telegram domains. Acquiring a username through the platform gives permanent ownership, verified by the TON blockchain. Owners of collectible usernames can freely assign them to chats, sell them to others, or keep them for later use – without the risk of losing them to inactivity or account deletion.

To convert your basic usernames into collectible usernames, see the Fragment FAQ.

Q: How many usernames can I link to my account?

-

You can have up to one basic username and any number of collectible usernames at the same time. This is also true for public groups and public channels.

Q: How does t.me work?

Once you've set a username, you can give people a t.me/username or a username.t.me link. Opening either of those links on their phone will automatically fire up their Telegram app and open a chat with you. You can share username links with friends, write them on business cards or put them up on your website.

This way people can contact you on Telegram without knowing your phone number.

If you don’t want to set up a public username and don’t mind sharing your number, you can also create a t.me link with your phone number in international format – for example, t.me/+123456789. This type of link can quickly open a chat with you from any app, however, it will only work if your privacy settings let others find you by your phone number.

Q: What can I use as my username?

-

You can use a-z, 0-9 and underscores. Usernames are case-insensitive, but Telegram will store your capitalization preferences (e.g. Telegram and TeleGram is the same user). Basic usernames must be at least five characters long, but collectible usernames can be shorter.

Q: Do I need a username?

You don't have to get one. Remember that Telegram usernames are public and choosing a username on Telegram makes it possible for people to find you in global search and send you messages even if they don't have your number. If you are not comfortable with this, we advise against setting up a username.

Q: If someone finds me by username, messages and I reply — will they know my number?
