Telegram In-App Browser and Mini App Store Unveiled

The new Telegram in-app browser will let users view websites right within the app and open any message simultaneously. The browser works with decentralized TON Sites and allows users to host their websites on The Open Network themselves.

Telegram in-app browser also hosts notifications that allow users to get updates without moving an inch and bookmarks that let them view content easily later.

The messaging app promised a mini-app store before the end of July, and now it’s life. In the store, users will be able to discover and interact with apps, including those accepting Stars as a form of engagement. The mini-apps themselves can also be featured in Telegram’s upgraded Stories section, expanding their reach within the app’s ecosystem.

More than 500 million monthly interactions with mini-apps make Telegram look to rope in more users with this new store. An “App” tab, next to the “Chats and Channels” tab, is now available and opens in Telegram’s in-app browser, decked out with a lot of features such as minimized browsing and progress saving.

Telegram Aims for One Billion Users Amid Rapid Growth

Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced plans for these updates first on July 19. The launch comes amidst the success of Telegram-based games, such as a web3 tap-to-earn play like Catizen, which has raked in $16 million in in-app purchases.

In a recent interview, Durov projected that Telegram could quite easily reach one billion active monthly users this year. It had to cope with the refusal regarding the 2018 censorship attempt in Russia, unwilling to give away its encryption data, but Telegram keeps going on and steeply rises, obviously due to its high speed and exceptionally good privacy features that make it very popular in Russia.
