Posting Stories Only for Telegram Premium Users
Telegram's Translations platform added the following line:
Posting stories is currently available only to subscribers of Telegram Premium
From the wording, it seems that initially only Premium users will be able to post stories, and later the feature will become available to all users.
This might change at release, since this is just our speculation from Telegram's app strings.

How will Telegram Stories work and what will they feature
The @tginfo editorial team has analyzed new strings on the Telegram translations platform and speculates on how stories will work:
• It seems like on the initial launch only Premium users will be able to publish Stories, and wider availability coming later.
• Stories will have a dual-camera recording feature, allowing simultaneous use of the main and front cameras.
• Users will be able to mention (@username) people in their stories. Mentioned users will receive notifications.
• Unfinished stories can be saved as drafts.
• Stories can have text captions.
• Users will have control over the lifespan of their stories. Certain self-destruction options will be available only to Premium users.
• Stories can be archived and restored from the archive.
• Stories can be pinned to the profile until manually removed.
• Stories can have custom emojis in their stories, and a button will be displayed to save the displayed emoji pack.
• It seems like stories can be edited after publication.
• There will be a limit on the number of stories that can be published within 24 hours.
• Story owners will be able to view a list of views (this list will disappear 24 hours after the story is hidden from the public).
• You can restrict downloading, screenshots, and screen recording tools.
• Story privacy options: close friends list, public, contacts only.
• If you make a story available only to close friends, the users added to this category will be notified.
• You can disable replies to stories.
• You can reply to stories in private.
• You can forward stories.
• Stories can be zoomed in by pinching the screen.
• You will be able to enable notifications for new stories.
• Telegram will suggest enabling notifications for new stories from the five users you interact with most frequently.
It is important to note that all information is based on strings from the translations platform, so the story mechanism may undergo some changes before its release.

More information about the upcoming update in Telegram
The code update in the official repository of Telegram Desktop on GitHub has provided more details regarding the upcoming update in addition to the list we previously published:
• Changelogs in stories
In future Telegram updates, the platform is likely to start sharing its changelogs in the form of stories.
• Different limits for Telegram Premium owners and regular users
Story caption: 200 characters for regular users and 2048 characters for Telegram Premium owners.
Story self-destruct timer: We are still not certain, but it seems that it will be possible to set a lifespan for stories up to 30 days (or hours, as there is no exact information yet) for regular users and up to 100 days for Premium users. There are no screenshots on the translation platform that include such values.
• Ability to report stories
Stories will be displayed on user profiles. In the stories themselves, it will be possible to mention (@username) other users, who will receive corresponding notifications. In order to prevent abuse of this feature, the messenger's team will add violation reporting functionality for stories.
• New format for in-app advertising
A new advertising format will be introduced in channels (not in stories): image + text + link. The link can also lead to an external resource, for which Telegram will add click tracking for advertising links.
It is important to note that all information is based on assumptions from the API schema, so the story mechanism may undergo some changes before the release.

Removing Stories From the Chat List
While it is currently not possible to completely hide the stories section, you can hide stories of specific users.
Option 1
In the stories section, tap and hold someone’s profile picture, then choose “Hide Stories”. This moves their stories to the Archive so you no longer see them.
To unhide the stories, just go to the archived chats, tap and hold the user’s profile picture again, and choose “Unhide Stories”.
Option 2
Open the user’s profile, and remove them as a contact.
Note that their stories might reappear if you have contact synchronization turned on and they are in your phone’s contacts. To make sure they won’t reappear, either remove the user from your phone’s contacts, or completely disable contact synchronization in Settings > Privacy.

Telegram Stories and Foursquare
In the server configuration of Telegram, a new parameter named
Foursquare is a service that provides information about places and attractions. In the messenger apps, this service's bot is used in the Interface Attachment Menu > Location.
The Telegram Info team suggests that this parameter could be related to the future ability to add geotags to stories.
Whether it will be possible to create your own bots to work with stories in Telegram is unknown.

Telegram Stories for Non-Premium Users
Telegram’s server configuration has been updated and now features different story posting limits for regular and Premium users.
This might mean that in the next update Telegram will allow everyone to post stories, no Telegram Premium subscription required.
It is important to note that the values on the screenshot are from Telegram’s test server and they may differ on release.
Telegram Info assumes this is not the only restriction stories will have for regular users.
UPD: For the main server (following the test one), preliminary values for limits on the number of published stories appeared.

Pavel Durov Answered a Few Questions Regarding Stories, Its Design and Limitations
Yesterday morning, Durov answered a few questions in one of the major chats of Telegram:
❓ Does it make sense to compare the functionality of stories in Telegram and statuses in WhatsApp, as well as their limits?
❓ Was the decision to offer saving stories to the gallery as a premium feature a worthwhile choice?
❓ Why are the abilities to include formatting and links in stories limited to Premium users?
❓ The header on iOS is appealing, can we expect something similar for the Android app?

Stories from Telegram
An increasing number of users are starting to see stories posted on behalf of Telegram. These stories visually showcase some of the story features from the messenger’s latest update.
Previously, we reported that the Telegram team intends to share information about app updates in a new format (in addition to the long-standing text updates in the messenger’s official account).
It isn’t possible to hide these stories from the main screen using the same method as hiding stories from contacts: the standard hiding method is not available in this case.
