Telegram wants to make a page similar to Instagram Explorer

Telegram is on the verge of a change that can free users from wandering through channels to find interesting posts. The post Telegram wants to create a page similar to Instagram Explorer appeared first on Safir Arjan.

According to Ambassador Arjan, the trial version of Telegram for the Mac operating system on 23 October 1405 revealed two new features: a section titled "For You" that displays channel posts based on users' interests, and the ability to decorate the Telegram wallet card with photo stickers of collectible gifts. These two features have been added in version 13.0.283318; While the previous version, published on 19 Mehr, did not have any of them. However, users cannot use these features at the moment, because their activation depends on Telegram servers, and the necessary methods for public access to these features have not yet been included in Telegram's official programming interface.

The "For You" section is supposed to provide users with two types of content: Telegram's recommended posts based on each person's interests and posts from channels they already follow. At the beginning of the suggestions section, the user is asked what topics he is interested in and then a series of image categories are shown to him. Telegram receives these categories from the server and after the user selects, a confirmation message shows that its theme is to display more content of the same topic.

Posts are loaded in stages and the user can refresh the content by swiping down the page. Also, it is possible to mark all posts as read and their reading status is synchronized between different devices connected to the user account. This section even has its own animated icon, which shows that it is going to be placed as an independent tab in the main Telegram menu, next to the audience, contacts, conversations and settings section.

Although the codes of this feature have been added to the test version, users cannot activate it simply by changing the settings or manipulating the program. The new tab display depends on a built-in option called "Show News Tab" which is disabled at startup. In addition, the Telegram server must send the necessary content to the user's account; Otherwise, even if the tab is displayed, you will see nothing but the message "There are no posts for you yet".

In the general programming interface of the desktop version of Telegram, there is still no trace of new data types and methods related to this section. Such items are usually added to the official version of the API as features become public; Therefore, it is not possible to determine the exact time of public release of this section at this time.
