Filters in Saved Messages

A future version of the Telegram app will include the ability to filter messages using emoji tags.

To do this, the messenger suggests using an already existing mechanism of reactions.

How to mark a message with tag?
• Any reaction a user sends to a message in Saved Messages becomes a tag automatically.
• For any emoji sent as a reaction in Saved Messages, the user can assign a short explaining text. This text will be displayed next to each relevant reaction, as well as below the search line. To set or change this text, tap and hold the emoji tag under the message or under the search line.

How can I find all messages with a certain tag?
Telegram offers two ways to do this:
• Tap and hold the emoji tag below the message.
• Tap the search button in Saved Messages and then tap on any emoji tag below the input line.
