Telegram has rolled out a fresh batch of updates for August 2025, including the long-awaited ability to show music directly on your profile. Here’s what’s new.

Music on Profiles

Users can now add songs from any chat to their profile.

Just hit “Add to Profile” in the media player, or select a track and save it.

Telegram will automatically create a playlist that grows with each added song.

️ Custom Profile Tabs

You can now decide which tab visitors see first when they open your profile.

Options include saved Stories, Gifts, and more.

To set one: long-press the tab → select “Make Primary Tab.”

️ Dynamic Gift-Themed Wallpapers

Telegram added dozens of animated chat wallpapers linked to gifts.

Owners of supported gifts (Plush Pepe, Precious Peach, Durov’s Caps, Heart Locket) can set these as chat themes.

One gift = one theme for one chat.

Gift System Enhancements

Users can now send Stars (Telegram’s in-app currency) to cover the cost of upgrading someone else’s profile gift.

New “Not Upgraded” filter + “Upgrade Next” button make it easier to upgrade multiple gifts.

Gifts now show a “Value” metric, indicating an estimated resale price.

Sticker Mini-App

New @Stickers mini-app launched.

Lets you create stickers & emoji, manage packs, and track usage stats.

Previously, users relied on the built-in editor or external bots.

Android Profile Redesign

Telegram refreshed the profile design for Android users, giving it a cleaner, more modern look.

Takeaway

Telegram is slowly turning profiles into personal hubs — with playlists, gift collections, and dynamic themes. With stickers now easier to create and gifts tied to value metrics, the platform is doubling down on social + creator economy features.
