Build an interconnected personal knowledge base right inside your cloud chat. Learn how Telegram Premium allows users to tag saved messages with custom emojis, assign descriptive text labels like #Design or #Finance, and filter thousands of archived notes in a single tap.

Under MTProto, tags in Saved Messages leverage reaction primitives optimized for sub-millisecond retrieval:
reactionCustomEmoji), rather than social engagement counters.messages.updateSavedReactionTag, attaching an immutable string label to each emoji ID.messages.getSavedHistory with the reaction filter flag, executing instant database lookups even across vaults containing 50,000+ notes.Test Emoji Tag Filters & Message Sorting
Tap the tag filters below to filter messages in real-time and observe the categorized output.
React with an Emoji to Any Saved Message
In your Saved Messages chat, tap and hold any message, then choose an emoji from the reaction menu.
Hold Down on the Tag to Assign a Name
Press and hold the small emoji tag pill attached to the message bubble, select Set Name, and enter a category label (e.g. #Design, #Work, #Travel).
Filter from the Top Tag Bar
Tap any named tag pill in the top filter tray to immediately isolate matching notes across your entire archive.
You can apply multiple emoji tags to a single saved message! For example, tag a technical finance invoice with both 💰 and 💻 so it surfaces when filtering either category, creating a truly relational cloud archive.
