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.

DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands. After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. Telegram boasts 500 million users, who share information individually and in groups in relative security. But Telegram's use as a one-way broadcast channel — which followers can join but not reply to — means content from inauthentic accounts can easily reach large, captive and eager audiences.
