All you have to do is select the message and tap on the “Edit (pen)” icon at the top and you can easily edit the message. However, it will show you an “Edited” label after you have made the changes.

Just open the chat and tap on the profile photo of the contact. If you like to customize your favorite chats, there is a good chance that you would appreciate custom sounds.

It will make it a bit more convenient for you to identify the alerts from a specific Telegram chat. Keep in mind that the audio clip must be less than 5 seconds and up to 300KB in size.
