The Beta version of Telegram for Android now provides the ability to create stickers in the apps editor:
• To create a new sticker, click the sticker button located in the left hand corner of the text field and tap the "+" button below "Recent Stickers".
• You can create a new sticker based on any photo in your gallery or using your device camera.
• All features of the image editor are available when editing a sticker, in addition to the ability to remove backgrounds and add outlining.
• The user can set one or more emoji that will correspond to the created sticker. Upon doing this, Telegram automatically suggests an emoji which corresponds to the content of the created sticker.
• Once you're done editing a sticker, Telegram suggests sending it to a chat, adding it to Favorites, and creating a new sticker pack or adding a new sticker to an existing pack.

Lastly, the web previews of t.me links have been given a new look, adding chat backgrounds and design elements from the fully-features Telegram Web client. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. If you initiate a Secret Chat, however, then these communications are end-to-end encrypted and are tied to the device you are using. That means it’s less convenient to access them across multiple platforms, but you are at far less risk of snooping. Back in the day, Secret Chats received some praise from the EFF, but the fact that its standard system isn’t as secure earned it some criticism. If you’re looking for something that is considered more reliable by privacy advocates, then Signal is the EFF’s preferred platform, although that too is not without some caveats. NEWS Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.”
