Years after pretty much every social app got them (and in some cases, removed them), Telegram is adding a Stories-like product. They’ll launch in “early July,” CEO Pavel Durov wrote on Telegram, and have been a popular request: “more than half of all feature requests that we receive are related to Stories,” Durov said.

Telegram recently had a major role in international news: in Russia, Wagner private military group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin announced the end to an apparent coup attempt with a post on Telegram.
