But 'Stories' are from IG, owned by Meta.. so... we rather stay quiet on this occasion xdd
Stories are the Meta's copy of snapchat.
Stories are the worst addition to Telegram. I hope Meta sue them and make them remove this feature :D
first they copied it from snapchat (meta loves to copy from smaller alternatives to kill them) second they added it only people where continuing to ask them for it (me too)
tg stories failed miserably due to being premium only tho
But I can use them just fine? Some customization options like expiration time are behind premium but it's available for everyone.
I think it was premium only for a short while before version 10
...you still can't publish stories without premium. I've only seen like one two stories so far (despite having hundreds of contacts and chats), and one of them is a telegram ad. Almost everyone gets surprised when they see the stories bubble at the top...
you can publish them (at least on iphone) without premium
