Telegram has finally added the ability to set an animated emoji as a profile picture. Telegram recently introduced a new feature called Profile Photo Maker, which makes adding an emoji as a profile photo more enjoyable. You can now turn your regular emoji profile into an animated emoji and set it as your profile photo in Telegram.
Telegram’s new profile photo maker lets you use an animated emoji as your profile picture. You can set a separate animated emoji profile photo for your account, groups, or channels. This is an excellent way to express yourself and stand out from your contacts.
The great part is these animated profile emojis are not limited to any specific animation or type. The Telegram Profile Photo Maker offers come with different animations with different emojis. This means you can set an animated emoji as your Telegram profile picture based on your current mood and likes.
For instance, if you are not happy for the moment, you can select crying or sad emojis with different animations to set as your Telegram profile photo.
