Improved Login Flow Advanced Chat Options Telegram Location Share
Tap your profile picture here to see everything you've uploaded in the past. You can scroll across them; tap the Set as Main Photo option that appears on the top-right menu (as three dots on Android or Edit on iPhone) to set an older image as your current profile picture. Telegram also supports hashtags. If you tap a hashtag, you can search across all of your activate chats for it. This makes it easy to find messages in the future or categorize information for yourself. Secret Chats Mute Contacts and Groups
The fact that Telegram allows users to create and install their custom theme makes using the service a joy. This is one of my favorite Telegram Messenger tricks. Basically, you can customize your Telegram app to look however you want it to. To create your own theme go to Settings->Chat Settings ->Theme and tap on βCreate New Themeβ. Here, first add a custom Name of your Theme and then tap OK. If youβre a particularly private person and troubled by news reports regarding online security and privacy breaches, you should absolutely consider using Telegram with secret chats enabled. You will have largely the same experience as with more popular messaging apps, with greater peace of mind. However, If youβre still using WhatsApp, Viber, or one of the other messaging app, you may be interested in why Telegram is so popular. Stop Being Added to Random Groups
The app also lets you make location-based groups, a local group that works in a small region for co-worders, students, or neighbors. Once you have created the group, users in the vicinity will be able to view it on their device and join. Last year, Telegram brought a unique feature that allows you to discover Telegram users and groups based on your location. This comes really handy when you want to add someone to your Telegram without sharing your mobile number. Also, if you are going to conferences, campuses or festivals, you can find several groups related to the place and event just like that. To add nearby people, open the Telegram menu and go to βContactsβ. Here, tap on βAdd People Nearbyβ and there you have it. Previously, it was required to keep the screen open for this feature to work. But now users can turn on the βMake Me Visibleβ option in the People Nearby window so nearby users can see their profile without needing to have the window open.
