Telegram News channel

About Telegram News (@telegram)

Telegram News is Telegram's own official channel for announcing new features, app updates and platform news — it's where the company itself posts first, ahead of most tech coverage picking it up.

Because it's run directly by Telegram rather than a fan account or news outlet, it's the most reliable single source for exactly what's changing in the app and when, without any secondhand interpretation.

Who is @telegram for?

Telegram News is for any Telegram user who wants to hear about new features and updates directly from Telegram itself, rather than through third-party tech coverage.

Is Telegram News safe to use?

TelegramDir manually reviews submissions before listing them, but we don't operate or vouch for third-party bots, channels or groups — @telegram is run independently on Telegram. Use the same judgment you would with any third-party service: avoid sharing sensitive personal information, and weigh the community rating and vote count below before trusting it with anything important.
