Telegram Users Can Live Stream with Unlimited Viewers
The update has enabled options to remove captions from media and hide sender names when forwarding. Users can now easily switch to unread channel without going back to the chat list. Telegram also improved sticker panel along with new animated emoji.
Furthermore, Telegram users can preview and edit how the message will look along with several customisation options. Moreover, users can hide the senders name or hide captions on media messages. They can deselect messages that they dont want to send, and even change the recipient if they tapped the wrong chat.
Telegram has also added the flexibility of scrolling through the channels followed without getting back to the chat list. If the chat list has been organised with folders or archived chats, the app will follow the structure set up by users: channels in the current folder, then within each folder, then those left in all chats and the archive.
Just recently, Telegram has expanded its group video calling feature that now allows up to 1,000 people to join a group video call. Telegram is also hopeful to increase the video calls limit until “all humans on Earth can join one group call”. Moreover, You can now watch the videos sent through Telegram at 0.5X, 1.5X, or 2.0X speed. Android will also support 0.2X speeds.
Telegram also lets you share your screen with audio. The update also comes with a new auto-delete feature. Your messages will automatically delete after one month. You can now draw more precisely onto images before sending them to a friend or group.
Telegram is also adding several changes to the UI. There is now support for animated backgrounds, which is a first for a messaging app. You can choose your own colours and patterns through the settings. Telegram says these are fairly light on resources so they won’t bog down your performance or consume too much power. Moreover, animated backgrounds created by the user can also be shared with others.
