Telegram app has a collection of amazing stickers. There are many stickers that you won’t even find in some of the best editing apps. Not just the chat stickers but the stickers that are used in editing a picture like a nose, eyes, goggles, vigs, etc. are present in a huge number in the Telegram editing options. These stickers are generally known as masks. Other than that, the user can also adjust the brightness and contrast of the photo, crop the photo, make it blur. Moreover, a user can also send self-destructing photos and videos using Telegram.
In this article, we have explained the methods to add text and stickers to photos on Telegram and add self-destructing messages. We are using an Android phone for this but the process for iPhone is almost the same. And also this feature is not available on Telegram for PC.

Text and stickers can be added to the photos in Telegram without many efforts. Moreover, it is quite enjoyable and involves creativity.
1. Open the chat you want to send a photo on Telegram.
2. Now tap on the Attach icon at the bottom right.
3. Choose the photo from the latest one or click a new one using the camera option. You can also tap on Gallery and choose the photo by tapping on it.
4. Now tap on the Edit icon at the bottom. Now you can find all the editing options like Brush, Stickers, and Text.
5. Tap on the Sticker icon and then tap on the perfect sticker from the hundreds of stickers available. You can adjust their size and position on the photo by pinch zoom.
6. Tap on ‘Telegram Stickers icon‘ at the top to add Telegram stickers to your photo.
7. For adding text, tap on the Text icon at the bottom and type the desired text.
8. Once you add text, tap anywhere on the picture and you will be on the editing page. Here you can change the size and reposition the text by pinch zoom. You can also change the border-color of the text by tapping on the text and then moving the color slider to the desired color.
9. After you add text and stickers to your photo, tap on ‘Done‘ at the bottom right and then on the send icon.
Other than adding texts and stickers to Telegram photos, the use of brush can also be made to further decorate the picture.
For using the brush, tap on the brush icon at the bottom and scribble whatever you want to. The scribble color can also be changed using the Color panel. You can also select various brushes by tapping on the icon given at the bottom right above the Done option.
Before starting with the steps to add the self-destructing command to the photos or videos that we send, we need to understand what actually a self-destructing message is.
As the name suggests, the self-destructing messages or files are those which destruct themselves or simply disappear after the set time limit. Once the receiver opens the messages, the timer starts and appears at the top and the message automatically disappears after that time. The sender can set the time of destruction between 1 second to 1 minute. Now let’s come to the steps to enable self-destructing mode in the messages.
1. First of all, select the photo that you want to send.
2. Now tap on the timer icon given at the bottom.
3. After that, select the time of destruction. Then tap on Done and send the message.
The best part about the self-destructing messages is that the receiver will not find the save option in that photo. Not only that, even the screenshot function will not work in the self-destructing messages. Go on, try it out yourself.
Another feature of Telegram that will amaze you is that you can search for photos and GIFs from the web using Telegram app. You can edit these photos using similar stickers and texts and send them to your friends. Use this feature by following these steps.
1. Open the chat to which you want to send the photo or gifs and tap on the attach icon.
2. Now tap on the Gallery option.
3. Select the Find Images or Find GIFS option available at the top, select images, edit them and send cool stuff to your friends.
Note: This method does not work on the iPhone. Moreover, only the photos can be edited, GIFS cannot be edited.

Using Telegram Bot API,
I'm aware that it is possible to send an image via https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendphoto
However, how can I embed a remote image into a formatted message?
The message I am looking to send, can be compared to a news article with a title in bold, an image, and a longer text with links. I figured out how to create bold text and links with markdown, but I'm failing at inserting images. How can we do that?

you must set ParseMode in HTML and set your Image Url in A tag like this:
<a href="' + image + '">‍</a>
‍ -> never show in message

You can use zero-width space trick. Works for both Markdown and HTML parse mode.
Markdown:
$data = [ 'chat_id' => $chat_id, 'parse_mode' => 'markdown', 'text' => "[](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Stack_Overflow_logo.svg/200px-Stack_Overflow_logo.svg.png) Some text here.", ];
Result:
Note: The zero-width space is in-between the brackets "[]".

import requests text="testing" img="http://imageurl.png" r = requests.get('https://api.telegram.org/botyour_token_here/sendMessage?chat_id=@your_channel_here&parse_mode=markdown&text='+"[]("+img+")"+text) Method using <a href=http://.......jpg>..</a> will show preview of the image below the text. Like this:
a href sample
It will look better if you send an image with a caption.

You should just add captions
bot.send_video(user_id, video, caption='some interesting text')
In our case captions are text.

Using sendPhoto rather than sendMessage is a cleaner way of achieving this, depending on your use case, for example:
import io import json import requests telegram_bot_token = 'INSERT_TOKEN_HERE' chat_id = '@INSERT_CHAT_ID_HERE' bot_url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' + telegram_bot_token + '/sendPhoto' img_url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Stack_Overflow_logo.svg/200px-Stack_Overflow_logo.svg.png' msg_txt = '<b>Stack Overflow Logo</b>' msg_txt += '\n\nStack Overflow solves all our problems' payload = { 'chat_id': chat_id, 'caption': msg_txt, 'parse_mode': 'html' } remote_image = requests.get(img_url) photo = io.BytesIO(remote_image.content) photo.name = 'img.png' files = {'photo': photo} req = requests.post(url=bot_url, data=payload, files=files) response = req.json() print(response)

Today it is difficult to imagine correspondence in messengers without a stream of media files and documents, but images remain the most demanded content.
Therefore, having taken a great picture or found an interesting picture, the user is faced with the problem of how to send a photo to Telegram.
Not everyone knows that Telegram compresses photos, but this does not happen with all pictures and not always. Common formats - jpg (jpeg), png and gif - can be sent both in compressed form and in its original form. Other types of photos (such as raw or psd) Telegram sends without compressing.
To insert a photo into a Telegram chat using an Android smartphone, you will need:
By ticking the desired images, the user will need to tap on the icon in the form of two squares. The squares should change color from white to blue - this means that the pictures will be sent in the album;
For devices running on iOS, you can send a photo via Telegram according to a similar principle:
For PC (Windows), the image sending algorithm is as follows:
Then click on the "Open" button, select "Send as a photo" to compress the image, or "Send as a file" to send the source;
When sending from a PC, the user is unable to organize images into albums.
Large media files sent in their original size are not automatically downloaded by the messenger, and downloading small and compressed images depends on the settings of the Telegram application. If the Media Autoload slider is set to on in the settings, compressed media files will be automatically downloaded to the cache (internal memory) of the device.
But, in order for the image to be seen in the gallery, the user will need to perform several actions in the Telegram application:
Open a chat, if an arrow is drawn on the image, you need to click on it and wait for it to load. Then you need to tap on three vertical dots near the image, and in the menu that opens, select an item such as "Save to Gallery";
Telegram stores sent pictures on the server - this means that you can log in to the device (both smartphone and PC) and see all the files that the user received or sent.
Exceptions are:
If the photos were saved by the user, they can be found in the gallery, downloads, or a folder that the user has manually selected.
How to delete a sent message in a telegram for yourself and your interlocutor
How to send a message to Telegram from a computer
Telegram is handy for free text messaging and photo sharing. The messenger allows you to send photos and videos in separate messages, as files, or by grouping them into an album. How to do it?
Albums in Telegram Telegram is able to compress the size of sent pictures and animations, but this does not always happen, but only with common jpg (jpeg), png and gif formats. You can send photos, videos, gifs in their original form by tapping the Send as file item in the chat menu.
Open a chat and in the text entry field, click on the paperclip icon - Attach, and then select the Gallery icon.
If you just select the desired file and click on the send icon (airplane), it will be sent in a compressed form. By clicking on several photos, you will send them all, but each will be sent in a separate message.
To download content in its original format, select Send as File from the paperclip menu. Or click Attach / File. Having navigated to the desired folder, click on the content, and it will go in its original form, even if it is a picture. To send multiple documents, hold down the first selected file for a few seconds until the checkmarks appear, then check all the others.
With the photo selected, click on the ellipsis and click on Send without grouping or Send without compression.
On an Android device Enter any conversation.
Click on the paperclip icon and select the Choose Photo button to send the compressed picture as a separate message, or File if you intend to send the picture in its original form from the explorer.
You can send one photo at a time, annoying the interlocutor with constant sound signals and push notifications, or you can send everything with a neat message in which attachments are formed into an album with thumbnails of attachments. It holds 10 photo or video files. The grouping happens automatically if you use the Attach option (the paperclip icon again).
If the photos are already divided into folders on your gadget, then you simply select Attach a file and click on the folder with the necessary materials. You must click on the icon of two squares, which will change color from white to blue - this means that the album has been created.
You can choose the order in which the photos are sent, so that the user receives an organized and logical album.
By clicking on the pictures, you will see the numbering in the corner of each. Photos and videos will be sent in the same order as you clicked on them.
You can always see what you have attached in the chat. Media files are stored on the server and you can access them from any device you chat on. The exceptions are photos and videos from a secret chat, as well as deleted messages at oneself and at the addressee (this is possible before they are read by the recipient or within 2 days after sending).
Saved chat messages are always displayed at the top of the list in the Share section.If you saved the photo manually or you have autosave set up, then you will find the content in the smartphone’s memory in the gallery, downloads, a folder specially created for Telegram, or in another path that you specified when downloading.
You can send messages with photos and videos to yourself - in Favorites, or Saved messages.
