Telegram Introduces a New Feature: Starred Messages and Pinned Gifts

07.03.2025

The Telegram messenger continues to delight users with innovations. In its latest update, released on March 7, 2025, the developers introduced a new monetization system — the ability to send messages for stars. This new feature, called Starred Messages, allows users to send premium content that requires stars to unlock. Additionally, a feature for pinning gifts in chats was implemented, making communication more interactive and engaging. These updates further enhance the user experience by providing new ways to interact and personalize chats.

What Are Starred Messages?

Users can now send special messages that require the sender to spend a certain number of stars for the recipient to unlock them. Stars are Telegram’s internal currency, which can be received as gifts or purchased with real money. This new message format creates additional opportunities for content monetization and exclusive interactions between users.

The feature will also be especially useful for channel owners and bloggers who want to monetize interactions, such as allowing subscribers to pay for the ability to comment on their content.

Pinned Gifts – A New Way to Personalize Chats

In addition to Starred Messages, Telegram has introduced the ability to pin gifts in chats. Now, users can showcase received gifts in their profiles or attach them to chats, making conversations even more personalized. This creates a new level of engagement, allowing users to express gratitude, highlight important events, or simply brighten each other’s day. The pinned gifts remain visible in chats, adding a unique touch to interactions.

How to Use Starred Messages and Pinned Gifts?

The updated features are available in the latest version of Telegram, which can be downloaded from official app stores. To use Starred Messages, simply select this option when sending a message and specify the required number of stars to unlock it. To pin a gift, navigate to chat settings and choose the corresponding option.

Telegram continues to expand its ecosystem, offering users more opportunities for communication and monetization within the platform. With the introduction of Starred Messages and pinned gifts, the messenger is taking another step toward making digital interactions more engaging and rewarding. We can only wait to see what exciting innovations Telegram will introduce next.
