Telegram rolled out a fresh update, introducing an array of new features including enhanced replies, flexible link previews, exclusive color options for Premium members, upgraded stories, and several other advancements. Here’s a rundown of the latest additions.
Revamped Replies
The most recent update allows Telegram users to selectively quote portions of a message, streamlining the response process and enhancing precision.
Moreover, it is now possible to quote messages from different chats — a useful feature for responding privately to a public message. To quote a specific segment of a message, simply highlight the desired part and tap “Quote.” The update also expands message formatting options to include quotations.
Improved Link Previews
Telegram has enhanced its link and media preview functionality, providing users with more control. Users can adjust the size of attached photos, reposition the preview, and choose which links generate a preview when sending multiple links simultaneously.
Account Customization for Premium Users
Premium subscribers on Telegram can now enjoy an extra layer of personalization and flair for their accounts. The latest update introduces the ability to customize the color of your name and select a background for your replies.
Channel admins also have the ability to apply these customizations to channels that are upgraded to level 5 or above.
Enhanced Stories
The update brings improvements to the Stories feature of the app, including a makeshift front-facing camera flash for improved selfie lighting. The screen will brighten to add extra light to your photo, with options to adjust the brightness intensity and warmth.
Additionally, users can now fast-forward or rewind through stories. It’s important to note that Telegram Stories remains an exclusive feature for Telegram Premium subscribers.
