How to share posts on Telegram Stories

Sharing posts on Telegram Stories is a great way to curate and share interesting content with your followers and friends. Just like Instagram Stories, Telegram has its own disappearing content feature known as Telegram Stories that lets you post and share fleeting moments and updates. If you’re curious about how to use this feature, here, we’ll show you how to share posts on Telegram Stories.

How to share posts on Telegram Stories

Telegram Stories work just like stories on other platforms and are short videos or photos that show up for your contacts temporarily. You’ll find Telegram Stories at the top of your screen. What’s cool though, unlike Instagram, you can decide how long stories stay visible, including 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours.

After that, they disappear. Alternatively, you can post stories to your profile, where they remain until you remove them.

Telegram Stories also lets you share existing content from channels you follow or chats you’re in. That said, here’s how to share posts on Telegram stories on your smartphones.

Sharing Telegram stories from Channels:

1. Open Telegram and head to the channel with the post you want to share. 

2. Find the photo, video, or whatever you want in your story. 

3. Hit the ‘Share’ arrow next to the post. 

4. From the menu that appears, select ‘Repost to Story.

Customising your post

Before sharing the post directly, you also can customise it for your story. Here’s how to do it.

1. Tap the preview of your post at the bottom of the screen to start editing. 

2. Add text or stickers to spice things up. 

3. Use the drawing tools to doodle or write. 

4. Trim down long text with ‘Show less.’

5. Once it looks good, tap on ‘Next’ in the top right corner. 

6. Choose who can see your story: everyone, just your contacts, close friends, or a custom list. You can even turn off screenshots if you want. 

7. Finally, hit ‘Post Story’ to share your creation.

Telegram lets you share all kinds of messages, including photos, videos, and even voice or video notes. Users who view your story can simply tap to open the original message in its channel.
