Telegram released its first update in 2026, the most important improvement being the AI function of retelling publications. This is stated in the developer's blog.
Messenger now has the ability to automatically aggregate long posts across channels. Users can instantly switch to a compressed version of the text generated using artificial intelligence. According to Telegram, this innovation is designed to simplify navigation through news content and save time when reading.
Open source models based on the Cocoon platform are used to create retellings. The company emphasizes that each request is processed in encrypted form, allowing to maintain the confidentiality of user data.
At the same time, Telegram has completed updating the application interface for iOS in Liquid Glass style. The “liquid glass” elements characteristic of Apple devices are now used in all parts of the app. You can control the display of visual effects in the power saving settings – this allows you to reduce the load on the system and save battery.
The large-scale redesign for Android, previously seen in beta versions, is yet to be released. The company will likely continue to refine the interface before launching it to the public.
