14 DAY TRIAL // Telegram LLC updated the Telegram Messenger app for iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) to version 2.12 on April 8, introducing two-step verification, link previews, and sessions list.
The most important feature is by far the anticipated two-step verification functionality, which means that users will now be able to set an additional password that will be required each time they attempt to login into their Telegram account.
Extra security is always welcomed, no matter what online service you're using, especially a communication app that can be easily intercepted by third-party institutions or individuals.
Link Previews and Sessions List have been added as well
The other two features introduced in the Telegram Messenger 2.12 update are Link Previews and Sessions List. The first one will allow you to get rich link summaries for Tweets, Instagram Photos, YouTube videos, and other multimedia content.
On the other hand, the new Sessions List feature will let you view your active Telegram sessions on all of your devices where you have Telegram installed, including PC, tablets, or other smartphones (Android, Windows Phone).
Best of all, Sessions List allows users to remotely close the respective Telegram sessions. All Telegram users are urged to update as soon as possible in order to receive the new changes.
Telegram Messenger 2.12 is now available on the App Store
Telegram Messenger 2.12 is available today on the App Store on iTunes. It has been optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus devices, but it can also be installed on iPad and iPod Touch. The application requires iOS 6.0 or later.
Telegram Messenger is a cross-platform chat service in the style of WhatsApp. Applications for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, Android, Windows Phone, or Web are available from the project's website.
