All usernames on Telegram have their own t.me/username links, making it easy to share public profile, group or channel anywhere on the internet. Every username will now have a new unique link format β username.t.me β for those who want to emphasize their name (or have trouble finding the / key). To preview a chat, simply press and hold its profile picture in your chat list. According to the official Telegram FAQ section, You can create secret chats that use end-to-end encryption. This means only you and your chat partner can read those messages.
Telegram Premium users will now be able to add animated emoji status on the app. This custom status will replace the Premium Premium Badge in the chat list, in profile and in groups. Premium users will be able to choose from the seven standard statuses that change their color to match different Telegram themes β or choose from an infinite number of custom emoji. Premium Premium App Icons 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. 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.
Animated Emojis A recently introduced feature, Telegramβs new Group Voice Chats allow users in a group to initiate a common group voice chat for all members. However, users can choose to drop out of the ongoing group chat and re-enter at any given point. To make use of this, head into any group of choice and tap on the group name. Now head to the three-dot menu on the top right and choose Start Voice Chat. This update is being rolled out gradually. If your app is not offering you to update, please wait β the new version will become available soon. Pin Messages in Channelsb
