These features include reactions to chat messages, emoji statuses, and UI improvements to iOS and Android. As far as reactions to chat messages are concerned, Premium users will now have access to “a selection of infinite reactions”. They will be facilitated to react to individual messages with up to three animated emojis. As far as Emoji statuses are concerned, the emoji platform launched on Telegram last month allows people to upload their own custom animated emojis. The Emoji panel is also expanded in order to provide people with more emoji packs to better express their feelings. While the above improvement is brought for Premium users only, users who don’t have premium can enjoy more reactions included in the one-rowed selection. On the other hand, premium users, have got the ability to send any emoji, stock, or custom as a profile status. These statuses automatically expire after a certain time. To set emoji status, one needs to tap and hold on to the Premium badge in your profile. The other updates are specific to Android or iPhone. As far as Android is concerned, one can manage the priority of downloads. For this, one can press hold an active download and reorder them according to their need. This feature will be launched for iOS in near future. Other than this, Android UI animations are introduced for opening and closing photos or videos on Instagram.
