If one party deletes a message, it disappears on both devices. And you can specify a self-destruct period for all media if you like. To create a channel, right swipe on the homepage, and tap on “New Channel”. Provide your channel name, description, select channel type, and create a unique URL. That’s it.

This comes really handy when you want to add someone to your Telegram without sharing your mobile number.

To add nearby people, open the Telegram menu and go to “Contacts”. Here, tap on “Add People Nearby” and there you have it. Previously, it was required to keep the screen open for this feature to work.
