Telegram Introduces Interactive Mini-Apps That Transform Any Message Into an App

technology

Yesterday, Telegram introduced interactive mini-apps that transform any message into a full-featured application.

The feature, part of Bot API 10.4, allows developers to embed HTML, CSS and JavaScript widgets directly into chat bubbles, creating native-looking interfaces that respond to user input without leaving the conversation.

Telegram also added support for TON Connect, enabling in-app payments through its native wallet, and introduced shared widgets that can be updated centrally across multiple messages.
