With Stories on Telegram, you can decide to have your Accounts distinguishable by everybody, your contacts, a couple of chosen contacts or a rundown of close friends.

You can conceal Stories posted by any contact by moving them to the "Covered up" list in your Contacts area rather than the fundamental screen.

You can permanently display Stories on your profile page in a way that’s similar to how Instagram lets you display Story highlights.
