While WhatsApp remains the king of instant messaging in terms of sheer user base, Telegram is one of its main competitors and for good reason. The app offers speed, security, and simplicity, and is a strong WhatsApp alternative. Whether its due to WhatsApp being a Meta-owned company, or the privacy policy updates, or anything else, a lot of users have switched to Telegram over the last few years. If youβre on of them, here are 35 cool Telegram tricks to let you make the most out of the messaging app. If you love Twitter polls, well, now you can get the same feature on Telegram Groups as well. You can create both anonymous and visible polls and also schedule them accordingly. Other than that, there is also a Quiz Mode which allows you to see who voted for what. And the best part is that you can set up quizzes with multiple answers. So, if you run a Telegram group, this is the best way to settle scores with your friends and family. To create polls, simply tap on the βattachmentβ icon and select the βPollsβ menu. And for Quizzes, you can go through Telegramβs guide over here. At the same time, all existing features that users have come to expect and rely on for nearly a decade remain free. Moreover, non-premium users will be able to enjoy some of Premium's benefits: for example, download the extra-large documents and view stickers sent by premium users, as well as tap to increase counters on premium reactions that were already added to a message.
As mentioned above, the use of usernames instead of phone numbers means your account isnβt tied to just one phone. This makes it easier to log in on other devices, allows you to have multiple accounts on the same device, and makes it so you donβt have to share your phone number with someone to add them as a contact in Telegram. The company also makes its API publicly available for free and invites developers to create clients on other platforms. Users can also create custom bots, themes, stickers, and more free of charge. These bots can help you to automate and make your tasks easier to manage while chatting with your friends. Gmail bot is one of my favorite and no need to open the Gmail app and I can reduce my notifications and stress too! However, If youβre still using WhatsApp, Viber, or one of the other messaging app, you may be interested in why Telegram is so popular.
One of the worst parts about messaging apps is that anyone can add you to random groups without your active permission. However, the good part is that Telegram gives you an option to disable it altogether. You can change the desired settings from Settings menu -> Privacy and Security -> Groups -> My Contacts and then select all the Telegram users to βNever Allowβ. I canβt tell you how much I love this Telegram trick. If your device is stolen or someone took it, and you donβt want him/her to see the messages in your chat window, then you can simply terminate all the active sessions with just one click using your Mac, Desktop, Linux or Web client. Telegram Saved Files Add Animated Stickers to Images/Videos
Telegram Premium includes new tools to organize your chat list β like changing your default chat folder so the app always opens on a custom folder or, say, Unread instead of All Chats. Self-destruct is a popular feature on Telegram, but it has been limited to the separate βSecret Chatβ option only. However, with the recent update, now you can self-destruct media like photos and videos on normal chats too. Just select a photo or video and then tap on the βtimerβ button. Now, you can choose the time after which the media will be deleted from everywhere.
