Telegram Introduces Live Comments, AI Enhancements, and More in Latest Update

Telegram has rolled out a series of new features aimed at enhancing user experience, focusing on live comments in group calls, customizable profiles, and AI bot improvements. According to Telegram, these updates are designed to improve interaction and personalization on the platform.

Enhancements to Group Calls and Video Chats

With the latest update, Telegram users can now send live comments and reactions during group calls and video chats. These temporary messages allow participants to share thoughts and express emotions without disrupting the conversation. This feature is currently available for groups with fewer than 1,000 participants, providing a dynamic way to engage during calls.

Profile Customization and Suggested Birthdays

The update introduces new ways to customize profiles, including the ability to add private notes for contacts and suggest birthdays. Users can now personalize their profiles with unique color settings and add thoughtful notes to remember key details about their contacts. Suggested birthdays can be added to profiles, allowing friends to celebrate with gifts and messages.

AI Bots and Threaded Conversations

Telegram’s update also brings significant improvements to AI bots, enabling threaded conversations that allow users to manage multiple topics simultaneously. This feature is particularly beneficial for AI chatbots, which can now stream responses as they are generated, enhancing the speed and efficiency of information delivery.

Liquid Glass Interface for iOS

iOS users will notice a refreshed interface with the new Liquid Glass design, providing transparent elements and a refraction effect that aligns with Apple’s iOS 26 standards. This visual update aims to make the navigation experience more fluid and visually appealing.

Gift Interface and Blockchain Integration

Telegram has streamlined its gift interface, displaying all available gifts in a single list and reducing upgrade costs over time. Users can also move their gifts to the blockchain for enhanced security, showcasing these on their profiles when connected to Fragment.

Mini App for Bug Reports and Suggestions

The Bug and Suggestion Platform is now accessible as an official mini app, simplifying the process for users to report issues and suggest new features without leaving the Telegram app.

These updates demonstrate Telegram’s commitment to enhancing user interaction and personalization, ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for its diverse user base.
