Telegram Gets New Update: Video Stickers, Improved Reactions, More Coming With Version 8.5

Telegram has released an upgrade that includes video stickers, enhanced message responses, new interactive emojis, improved navigation, and bug fixes and enhancements. Users will be able to make animated stickers from videos using the instant messaging service. Telegram has also enhanced the appearance of message responses. When a user's message receives a response, it will be displayed to them. Telegram has also added five new emojis to its list of interactive emojis. The instant messaging app competes with WhatsApp and Signal.

Telegram announced a slew of new features and upgrades for its instant messaging service in a blog post. Video stickers are one of the first things to be disclosed. Users will be able to make their own stickers from standard movies, making the sticker-making process easier. Users may make stickers on any video editing platform and use the sticker bot to publish sticker packs. Better responses are another upgrade to Telegram that came with the January release. Users may now reveal a larger reaction by long pressing on a chosen reaction, which was introduced in the previous release.
