Partner Programs for Developers

Telegram has launched Affiliate Programs, a tool that allows mini-app and bot developers to grow their audience and earn Stars.

• How it works:
  1. Users can join affiliate programs through the Star Balance menu.
  2. After selecting a program, a unique referral link is provided that can be shared.
  3. When someone follows the link and makes a purchase in the mini-app, the link owner receives a commission in the form of a percentage of the Stars used for the transaction.
• Special Features:
  Commissions accrue throughout the program term specified in the terms and conditions, even if the program is terminated early.
• For Developers:
  Developers can create their own affiliate programs, set the percentage of revenue they are willing to share, and determine the duration of the program after the first user interaction.

AI sticker search

Telegram has introduced a AI model for sticker search that allows you to find the stickers you want by using a few keywords.

• Features:
  • Works in many languages.
  • Available only for Premium users in the emoji search section.

Collages in Stories

Users can now create collages of up to 6 photos or videos directly in Telegram Stories.

• How it works:
  • Media files can be added from the gallery or camera.
  • Different collage layouts are available in the top menu.
  • Tiles can be dragged to change order, deleted, replaced, or edited (e.g., adjust video volume).
