The update turned out to be quite large-scale – the messenger received a number of new convenient features. Here are the most notable ones:

  • Spoiler for media files. Now photos, videos and other media can be hidden behind spoilers. You can view the file only by touching it.
  • Save memory. The settings for automatic clearing of the Telegram cache have been expanded: you can select the deletion period, add chats to exceptions, and the cache itself is now divided into categories. The iOS app now calculates the cache size faster, adds iGuides.
  • Photo editor. New tools for editing photos before sending were added: lines are smoothed, their thickness dynamically changes depending on the speed of the finger; a brush appeared for the blur effect, its color can be set more accurately; you can change the size, font, background and alignment of the captions and include emoji from animated sets in them.
  • Avatars. You can assign a photo to a contact only for yourself, offer avatars to the interlocutor. You can hide your avatar from everyone by adding specific users to exceptions; in this case, you can select the second picture for visibility to everyone.

Other innovations:

  • Admins of groups larger than 200 members can now hide their list. The names of group members will be visible only to admins.
  • For Android: it became possible to add timecodes for audio recordings, while the recording itself is divided into blocks.
  • For Android: new loading animations for navigating to a reply far at the top of the chat, as well as for some other elements of the app.
  • Added fullscreen animation for emoji 🎅, 🤪, 🆒, 🗿, 🙊 when sent one at a time without text. The animation is visible to all chat participants.
  • Emoji 🎅, 🤪, 🆒, 🗿, 🙊 are also available as reactions.
  • For Premium: 10 new sets of animated emoji.
