The official Telegram app updated on several platforms today including Windows 10 and Windows 11.

This latest app update adds support for video stickers which anyone can now create from their own video files.

In addition to video stickers, Telegram also made some adjustments to reactions with this update. Going forward, reaction animations will play in real-time which means that the recipient will see the animation when they load the message. Reactions will also now include a read status to inform the sender of when their emoji reaction has been seen.

Here’s the full release notes for the Telegram app update:

VIDEO STICKERS

  • Use a new type of detailed stickers with smooth animations.
  • Create new sets by sending .webm videos to @stickers.
  • Bring your custom animated stickers from other apps.

BETTER REACTIONS

  • See smaller, compact animations when reacting to messages.
  • See real-time animations in chat when a user reacts to your message.
  • React with additional emoji expressing love, appreciation, anger or surprise.

READ STATUS FOR REACTIONS

  • Tap the new button in chats to jump to your messages that have unseen reactions.
  • Watch the animations for unseen reactions play when you hit the button.

AND MORE

  • The app will warn you before closing if you are uploading photos or files to a chat.
  • Enjoy better screencast quality in video chats

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
