Telegram introduces AI editor customization and new moderation tools

Telegram has released a new update that introduces custom styles for its AI message editor, upgraded poll tools, and free business bots.

The update allows users to create their own styles inside the AI editor. To do this, users can choose a style name, assign an emoji, and write custom instructions for the AI. Created styles can also be shared with other users.

Telegram has also expanded poll controls for channels. Administrators can now restrict voting to subscribers who joined more than 24 hours ago. Polls can additionally include strict geographic limits, allowing voting only from users in selected countries.

Group chats are getting new moderation tools as well. Admins can now remove reactions left by other users by opening the reactions list and deleting specific reactions manually. Telegram also added the option to limit reactions entirely, either for all participants or for selected users.

Another notable change affects business bots. Telegram now allows them to be linked to any account, whereas the feature was previously limited to paid users.

The updated version of Telegram is already available on iOS and Android.
