In the Beta version of Telegram for Android, you can now apply animated effects from emojis or stickers before sending a message.
When the recipient opens such a message, they will see a corresponding full-screen animation, and an emotion assigned to the effect will be displayed next to the message's timestamp.
To apply an animation to a message, press and hold the "Send" button and select the desired effect from the appearing panel. Note that this feature is only available in private chats.
By default, users have access to only 6 emoji effects from the list. To unlock additional options, including sticker animations, a Telegram Premium subscription is required.
Previously, the concept of this idea was presented in a contest for creating demo videos about non-existent Telegram features. Ultimately, the concept inspired Pavel Durov and led to the implementation of new effects in Telegram.

Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. In view of this, the regulator has cautioned investors not to rely on such investment tips / advice received through social media platforms. It has also said investors should exercise utmost caution while taking investment decisions while dealing in the securities market.
