Telegram, amidst a crypto gaming surge with hits like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, has enhanced user experience with a new “mini app bar” feature. This update, announced recently, facilitates seamless multitasking across iOS and Android devices.
The new feature allows users to collapse Telegram’s mini apps into a convenient bar at the bottom of their screens. This enables swift navigation between chats, apps, and games, enhancing overall usability.
According to Telegram co-founder and CEO Pavel Durov, “The recent Telegram update revolutionizes how people interact with mini apps. Now people can collapse apps and switch between them.”
Telegram reports that over 500 million users are now engaging with mini apps, including a plethora of games tied to crypto tokens. This surge underscores the platform’s appeal among gamers and crypto enthusiasts alike.
Games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat have played a pivotal role in driving this growth, with Hamster Kombat boasting over 200 million users. These games are poised to introduce tokens on The Open Network (TON), further integrating blockchain elements into gameplay.
