Telegram Messenger has just received a small but important update on Windows Phone platform, which brings some improvements and a few new features.

Although the application has been bumped to version 1.16, the new Telegram Messenger might not yet appear in your Windows Store, but an update should be available over the next couple of days.

As WMPU points out, the latest update for Telegram Messenger brings many Windows 10 Mobile optimizations, as well as minor improvements in Channels and other places.

But that's not all, as developers also confirmed they have added universal search for chats, usernames and messages.

Furthermore, Telegram Messenger users will now be able to select and send multiple photos (up to 100) with the help of the application.

One of the safest instant messenger for mobile devices

These new features are in addition to the ones that are already present, such as the option to share videos up to 1GB, as well as forward any media received in an instant. You can even create group chats with up to 200 people, so you can stay connected with everyone you know simultaneously.

Telegram Messenger has been built from the start with maximum privacy in mind, so those who are interested in this aspect will be pleased to know that the application features Secret Chats.

Secret Chats features end-to-end encryption to make sure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.

On top of that, nothing will be stored on Telegram's servers and users can automatically program the messages to self-destruct from both devices, which will ensure maximum privacy for both recipients.

If you don't have the application yet, you can now download Telegram Messenger for Windows Phone for free via Windows Store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Windows Phone 8.1 and up.
