That would be a cool feature - they take feature requests at https://bugs.telegram.org/ - I'm not aware of any competing apps that have it so it's possible noone has requested this before. Seems novel.

Discord has that, though I wouldn't call it Telegram's competitor

Telegram.com belongs to Telegram & Gazette, a newspaper owned by Gannett. Gannett also owns USA Today.

The Telegram app has always used Telegram.org.
