Messaging app Telegram is expanding into publishing platform with Telegraph

Social networking is fun, but signing up every time you want to post anything new can be tedious. To tackle the messy process, the Messaging app, Telegram has launched its own publishing platform, Telegraph, which lets you post almost anything without signing up.

To be more specific, you can post anything without creating an account.

Similar to Medium or Quip, where you need to sign up, Telegraph is a publishing tool that lets you create rich posts with markdown, photos, videos and all sorts of embedded stuff, without signing up. You can also post short notes or anonymous content online.

Aiming to push ‘rich content’ in its app, Telegraph is pretty simple - you create a title for your post, (if you wish) you can add your name or someone else's name as the author, and begin typing. Each post has a dedicated web address following the format of “telegra.ph/

However, if you provide this much freedom to your users to post anonymous content, it will obviously be misused. So if you receive a post from the president of the country or any celebrity, better you be little cautious.

Telegram has also launched 'Instant View' feature which includes an article preview and a feature image. With zero page load time, Instant View button will immediately show you a native page, saving you time and data, says the Company.

Users can also jump to a specific date to view what you sent back then by tapping on 'Search' inside a chat and choose a day using the 'Calendar' tool.

Telegram has launched more tools like 'Group in Common', 'View Pack for Recent Stickers' in its latest 3.14 version. You can check out the details here.
