Text tools moved closer to the message box
Telegram says the new AI editor can translate, transform, or fix text in two taps. It also offers style presets like Formal, Short, Tribal, Corp, Zen, Biblical, and Viking, which gives the feature a surprisingly playful edge.
What stands out here is not just the rewrite button. Telegram also ties the feature to its Cocoon AI stack and says requests are processed in a confidential environment with zero access to user data. For a messaging app, that detail matters.
Polls got much more flexible
The same release adds media and location attachments for questions and choices, descriptions, suggested answers in active polls, visible votes, disabled revoting, shuffled options, time limits, hidden results, and creator-side result viewing without voting.
In plain terms, polls stop feeling like a tiny side feature and start looking more like a proper interaction layer for groups and channels. If communities run quizzes, voting, or event coordination, that is a real shift.
Bots and media both moved forward
Telegram also added native support for iOS Live Photos and Android Motion Photos across its apps, with Live, Loop, and Bounce playback styles. On top of that, the Bot API now allows bots to create and manage other bots on a user’s behalf.
That second point is easy to overlook, yet it is a big one. It lowers the barrier for launching custom bot workflows and gives no-code or AI-assisted bot creation a more serious place inside Telegram’s ecosystem.
