In its first update of 2026, the social media platform Telegram launched a new AI-powered feature that summarizes channel posts and Instant View pages, alongside a full Liquid Glass interface rollout on iOS.
This move focuses on enhancing productivity and content clarity while maintaining users’ data privacy.
AI Summaries in Telegram
The new Smart Summaries feature uses artificial intelligence to provide quick overviews of any post within channels, eliminating the need to read the full text.
Users can instantly summarize long conversations within channels.
AI-generated summaries appear at the top of Instant View pages, helping readers grasp content quickly.
Open-Source Models via Cocoon Network
The feature relies on open-source models running through the Cocoon decentralized network, designed to protect user privacy.
Every request is securely encrypted.
Cocoon can integrate with other AI applications, with detailed guidelines available for developers in Telegram’s support documentation.
Liquid Glass Interface on iOS
Telegram has fully implemented the Liquid Glass interface on iOS devices, including:
Transparent elements
Refraction effects across the platform
Users can adjust effect intensity in Settings → Power Saving to enhance performance and reduce battery consumption.
Feature-Rich Updates in 2025
In 2025, Telegram rolled out more than 75 new features across 13 major updates, averaging an update every 26 days and sometimes as frequent as every 8 days.
Some highlights included:
Secure group calls
Gift market
This 2026 update reflects Telegram’s ongoing focus on combining AI productivity tools with visually appealing, performance-optimized design, all while prioritizing user privacy.
