Telegram’s New Update Adds Collaborative Checklists, Suggested Posts and More Creator Tools

Highlights

• Telegram Premium users can now create interactive checklists in any chat with customisable permissions for task management.
• Premium users can submit suggested posts to channels and offer rewards using Telegram Stars or Toncoin.
• Channels can crowdsource content or run affiliate promotions without sharing external links.

Telegram’s latest update version 11.13.0 is now live for both Android and iOS. The update brings two major additions, collaborative checklists and suggested posts for channels. These new tools are designed to help users manage tasks better and give creators more ways to engage and earn. Here’s all about the new Telegram update.

Collaborative Checklists for Premium Users

Telegram Premium users can now make interactive checklists in any chat, whether for personal tasks, group coordination, or team projects. What’s useful is that the checklist creator can set permissions to decide who can tick off tasks or add new ones.

To make a checklist:

• Open the attachment menu in any chat
• Tap on ‘Checklist’
• Share it in groups, private chats, or even with yourself in Saved Messages

Suggest Posts in Channels

There’s now a new way to contribute content to your favourite Telegram channels. With the new “suggested posts” feature, users can submit things like fan-made content, product reviews, or promotional posts directly to a channel’s inbox. These can either be scheduled or posted whenever the channel owner chooses.

For now, only Telegram Premium users can submit suggested posts.

Add Rewards with Stars or Toncoin

To encourage channel owners to post their content, users suggesting posts can now offer rewards. These can be sent through –

• Telegram Stars (available via @PremiumBot or Fragment)
• Toncoin, which can be added through Fragment

Rewards are sent 24 hours after the post goes live. If it’s taken down early, Telegram automatically refunds the Stars. However, Toncoin payments are final and can’t be refunded, making them a more secure option.

Privacy-Friendly Monetisation

Suggested posts give even small channels a chance to crowdsource content or run affiliate promotions within the Telegram app, so there’s no need to share external links or contact details, which helps protect privacy and avoid scams.

Channel owners also have the flexibility to discuss post content and pricing before publishing.

Telegram Update Availability

These features are available with Telegram version 11.13.0 or later. Android users can update via the Google Play Store or download the APK directly from telegram.org/android.

iOS users can find the update on the App Store.
