MAX Messenger vs. Telegram: Will New Features Be Added by the End of May?
Volume~$15
YES chance
DescriptionThe development of the national messaging app MAH has run into an unexpected hurdle: even the developers’ own relatives prefer to use a VPN and the familiar Telegram. Employees admit that the service’s functionality is still “raw” and doesn’t measure up to Durov’s brainchild. To turn the situation around, the MAX team is focusing on Telegram’s key features (folders, advanced privacy settings, sticker packs). Will the developers manage to release a major update with “Telegram-like” features in time to convince at least their own families to ditch their VPNs?
ConditionsYes: if, between May 1 and May 20, 2026, at least one of Telegram’s key features—chat folders, the ability to edit messages after 48 hours, or animated emojis—is included in an official release of the MAX messenger.
No: if, through May 20, 2026, MAX’s functionality remains unchanged and does not receive significant updates that mimic Telegram’s interface.
