Telegram updates on Windows 11 with reaction changes and emoji statuses

The official Telegram app for Windows devices updated this week with several new changes to reactions and the launch of emoji statuses for Telegram Premium subscribers.

Groups and private Telegram chats now have access to a new expandable menu for selecting reactions from. More reactions are also now available for free users to use as some reactions that were previously exclusive to Premium users have now been unlocked for everyone.

In addition to the above changes, Telegram Premium users can now add up to three separate reactions to messages, a first (as far as I know) for a social media platform. It’ll be interesting to see if rival networks, like Facebook and Twitter, copy this functionality.

Telegram Premium users can also now add an emoji status next to their name to represent their current status.

Here’s the full release notes for this app update:
