The new ‘Apps’ tab in Telegram’s search area improves the process of accessing popular and frequently used mini-apps by providing enhanced previews.
Telegram has released a variety of new features on July 31, 2024, with the intention of improving the user experience. These features include a Mini App Store and a sophisticated in-app browser. These enhancements simplify the process of accessing Web3 and enable seamless interaction with a variety of mini-apps and activities.
In the new ‘Apps’ menu of the Search section, Telegram’s Mini App Store displays prominent mini apps and frequently used apps. This feature streamlines the process of accessing activities and services, thereby accommodating the more than 500 million users who engage with micro applications on a monthly basis. Developers can now improve the quality of their app previews by including video demonstrations and photographs, which will provide users with a more comprehensive understanding of the expectations.
The Mini App Store offers a variety of games that are engaging and based on the tap-to-earn and play-to-earn models, such as Hamster Kombat, DOGS, and TapSwap. Through gameplay, these games enable users to accumulate rewards, thereby integrating financial incentives with entertainment. This inclusion is indicative of Telegram’s dedication to diversifying its entertainment offerings and broadening its ecosystem.
In addition to purchasing and gifting Telegram Stars to contacts, users can now access paid content in channels or purchase digital products in micro applications. This feature improves user interaction by facilitating the celebration of special occasions, such as birthdays, through the appearance of animated present cases in conversations.
Telegram has introduced an animated weather widget that adjusts to the user’s device settings, depicting the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. This adds an interactive element to the stories. This widget also displays the moon phase on cloudless nights, which provides a unique element to each narrative.
Telegram’s latest browser for MacOS enables users to access games, micro applications, immediate view pages, and Web3 ton-sites through streamlined new tabs. The objective of this feature is to enhance the productivity and multitasking capabilities of desktop devices.
