According to Odaily, Pavel Durov, the CEO of Telegram, has announced that the latest update of the messaging app introduces a feature that allows channel owners to post paid photos and videos. Users can purchase these using a digital currency called Stars. Similar to app developers, channel owners can convert the Stars they've collected into Toncoin without having to pay any fees to Telegram.
In addition to this, the latest version of Telegram includes other features. Users can now collapse and switch between multiple mini-programs. New features also include the addition of tags for public stories and location search. This update is part of Telegram's ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and provide more functionality within the app.
