Stories are the Meta's copy of snapchat.

Stories are the worst addition to Telegram. I hope Meta sue them and make them remove this feature :D

tg stories failed miserably due to being premium only tho

But I can use them just fine? Some customization options like expiration time are behind premium but it's available for everyone.

I think it was premium only for a short while before version 10

...you still can't publish stories without premium. I've only seen like one two stories so far (despite having hundreds of contacts and chats), and one of them is a telegram ad. Almost everyone gets surprised when they see the stories bubble at the top...
