14 DAY TRIAL // Telegram has decided to end 2022 in just the perfect way: with a massive app update that includes lots of goodies and plenty of new features.
The latest update comes with hidden media, which allows users to add a special layer on top of the images they sent, just to make sure the content isn’t directly visible. Your recipients, however, can view the image with a single tap on the thumbnail.
Telegram is also getting new features that help users manage the space the app is using on their devices.
“Telegram can take up next to no space on your device. You can remove media and documents from your phone's storage and re-download them from your Telegram cloud at any time. For years, users could set a maximum cache size or auto-remove unused items after a period of time. With this update, you can add separate auto-remove settings for cached media from Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – with exceptions for specific chats,” the Telegram team explained.
Beginning with this new version, users are also allowed to set up their own profile pictures for contacts, while admins of groups with more than 100 members can hide the list of members for everyone who is part of the group. All admins, however, will continue to be visible.
And last but not least, Telegram is also getting new drawing and text tools.
:Telegram's already powerful media editor has been fully redesigned. Drawing tools dynamically change width based on drawing speed and automatically smooth your lines. There is a new blur tool to redact sensitive data (or photobombers) – and 5 high-precision ways to choose colors, including the Eyedropper tool. When adding text to photos or videos, you can now change its size, font, and background. Adding custom animated emoji to text on images is available for all users, even if they don't have a Telegram Premium subscription,” the company explained.
The new version of Telegram is already available for download for all users today.
