Telegram allows users to locate contacts nearby you, should they choose to be discovered. This allows you to quickly add someone close to you on Telegram without going through the hassle of first noting their number and saving the contact manually. Users can also use this feature to find and create groups of nearby users. To use live locations and proximity alerts, go to the contactβs chat window and tap on the βAttachβ icon shaped like a paperclip. Choose the location button here, and choose βShare my Live Locationβ. You will be able to send live locations for either 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours. If you want to send big files, Telegram has much of the competition beat with support for up to 2GB files. Meanwhile, WhatsAppβs limit is a measly 100MB, WeChatβs limit is also 100MB, and Skypeβs limit is 300MB. Telegram files are also stored in the cloud, so you can access them from other devices.
All Telegram users can download these extra-large documents, regardless of whether they are subscribed to Telegram Premium. To enable this go to Settings and choose βPrivacy and Securityβ from the list. Next, tap on βPasscode Lockβ under the Security heading, then set your password lock on! Telegramβs main feature list may cross over with other apps, but there are many specific differences between it and its competitors. Here is a short list some of the major features that may push you to switch messaging apps. The platform supports two types of channels: public and private. The former can be found in search, and anyone can join them, whereas the latter can be joined only via invitation links.
Private Chats in Telegram Settings If you donβt want messages in your secret chats to hang around forever, Telegram lets you set self-destruct timers to permanently remove them. After a message is received, it remains in the chat for a predetermined period β you can choose times between one second and one week β before disappearing. Edit Sent Messages Perhaps the most important and the best feature of the Telegram app is its security. It is based on the MTProto protocol that is built upon time-tested algorithms. It enables high-speed, reliable message delivery on weak connections.
Once you and your contact have both shared your live locations with each other, Telegram will show both parties on either map, which allows them to track each other. Once here, choose the proximity alert button on the top right. You can choose your distance parameters here while the app shows you a live preview of the circular distance you have chosen. Yes, with the recent update, now you can add animated stickers of Telegram on both images and videos. We all love Telegramβs high-quality animated stickers and now you can bring life to still images using these popular animated stickers. However, keep in mind, after adding stickers, images will turn into GIFs and might lose some quality. So to use this feature, just select your image/video and tap on the βbrushβ icon at the bottom. After that, tap on the sticker icon and add animated stickers to your media. Thatβs it.
