Telegram Adds HTMLBubbles with JavaScript Support
Telegram, a popular messaging app, is testing a new feature in its macOS beta version. The update introduces HTMLBubbles, which are mini-app-like widgets that run directly inside chat messages. These widgets can include interactive elements such as product cards, task lists, boarding passes, and chess games. The feature uses a Rust-based rendering engine called Blitz and supports JavaScript through an isolated sandbox. Security measures are in place to limit script resources and block network requests, ensuring widgets do not abuse system resources. This update aims to make messages feel more like tiny apps, enhancing interactivity within the chat interface.
