14 DAY TRIAL // Telegram has just announced another huge update, this time with plenty of new features that mobile users are going to absolutely love.
First and foremost, Telegram is getting reactions, and they are available in both private chats and group chats and channels. However, keep in mind that reactions are only enabled by default in private conversations, whereas in groups and channels, admins are the ones that can activate them.
Then, Telegram is being updated with Spoilers, a new feature that allows users to send messages without revealing information that others may not want to see.
“To discuss the fates of Ciri or Peter Parker without spoiling the fun for others, select any part of your text when typing and choose the new 'Spoiler' formatting. This will hide the selected part of the message in the chat, as well as in the chat list and notifications,” Telegram explained.
Interactive emoji in Telegram
One of the most useful new features, however, is support for message translation, which means you can chat with someone else and have the translated message appear in the same conversation with the press of a button.
“Over half a billion people around the world use Telegram not only to stay in touch with friends, but also to chat in public groups and view content from channels – in every language imaginable. Now you can translate any message into another language, right in the app,” Telegram explains.
And last but not least, more interactive emoji are making their way to the app on both iPhone and Android. These are only available in private conversations and produce a pretty cool full-screen effect for both you and the contact you’re chatting with.
The update is available today for users running the latest version of the Telegram app on both Android and iPhone.
