Telegram gets an AI editor to quickly translate, restyle or improve messages; upgraded polls with animated leaderboards; new live photos; bots managing bots; and much more.

Telegram introduces member tags — text labels next to names — for group members; a setting to disable saving and forwarding in private chats; the ability to edit GIF animations with captions; new tools for signing up and logging into apps and websites with Telegram — and more.

In the first Telegram update of 2026, we introduce more liquid glass UI elements on iOS, AI-powered chat summaries and a host of other improvements.
