Telegram has made voice and video message transcriptions available for free users. Prior to this, the feature has been available to Telegram Premium members since last year.

Now, the platform is making this functionality available to all users, albeit with tighter restrictions.

Two text messages can be converted into messages each week for free users. To access the text version of an audio message, simply press the →A symbol.

Telegram says that this feature might not be available to you immediately because it’s being rolled out gradually.

Telegram wants to make finding channels easier. You’ll get a list of related public channels once you join a channel. These suggestions are based on subscriber base commonalities according to Telegram.
