Major Telegram Beta Update: Regular Posts Will Turn Into Landing Pages

A major update is being tested in the beta version of Telegram for PC: Durov has decided to embed the old Telegraph engine directly inside the app. Now, any post can be turned into a responsive landing page or a full-fledged article.

To do this, a separate button will be added; clicking it will transform the input field into a simplified alternative to WordPress. Inside, users will be able to use six heading options, create photo collages, slideshows, lists, quotes, interactive checklists, and maps with locations. 

A handy feature will also be added for tech blogs: programming code and complex mathematical formulas can be inserted directly into the post instead of using screenshots, making them look sharp and clean. 

All these landing-page posts will run on an updated version of the Instant View technology. The page will open instantly inside the messenger on any device. Additionally, a poll or a quiz can be embedded right into the article. 

Telegram will provide channel creators and businesses with a ready-to-use tool: they will be able to publish full articles and product presentations with a single click. The official release date has not yet been announced, but since the features are already being tested in beta, a full rollout to all users can be expected in upcoming updates.
