If you’re bored of using WhatsApp, you may switch to its rival Telegram, which is also a third-party application popular for messaging, video calls, end-to-end encryption, and much more. The app is available for all Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Windows phone, and Linux users, introduced in 2013. The app works the same as the regular WhatsApp you use, enabling you to exchange texts, images, videos, stickers, files, etc.
You might be thinking that when you have WhatsApp as a similar platform, what is so special about switching to another app? The Telegram app is much known for its experimenting with new features every once in a while, such as support for Android 11’s chat bubbles. As we talk about its new features, the company has dropped some fresh updates, including channel replies, search filters, anonymous admins, and much more which shall be discussed below.
Sometimes you search for terms using certain apps; however; it doesn’t help much in narrowing down the content you’re looking for, including media, files, etc. Thankfully, Telegram 7.1 has brought new filters that enable you to quickly find results to your search. Not only media and files, but dates, names, and time works as well. It is the magic of search filters update.
Have you ever wondered about listening to all the gossip amongst your friends without them realizing your presence? Yes, you’re thinking it just right! The new update of Telegram has brought to you a ‘Batman Mode’ that’ll enable the admins to stay anonymous. The new feature allows the admins to send in the messages that’ll be signed with the group name; however; they stay hidden in the group members list. Isn’t that a great way to spy on your friends?
Just like any other social media platform, Telegram has also come up with comment buttons that’ll keep the conversation in a loop for all the members in the channel’s discussion group. In case you’re not a member of the discussion group, you’ll see all the comments in another chatbox named ‘Replies.’
Hold on! The discussion hasn’t ended yet. The Telegram’s new version also allows you to upload a video to your profile, letting you decide the frame. It is not essential to capture a fresh video every time you want to share one. Instead, you can go through your media gallery and select any video. The best part is being able to use the Telegram’s media editor to use additional tools like stickers, and strengthen the video quality.
Telegram has a ‘People Nearby’ feature which informs you about the distance between you and the other person you’re contacting. Also, whenever you try to initiate a new chat with someone, the app will automatically suggest stickers to start the ball rolling.
The changes to the privacy and security settings will archive and mute the messages from unknown contact automatically. Getting random texts can get annoying sometimes, but you don’t have to worry about the same in the presence of the new Telegram update. You can access the chats that get archived whenever you want and display them in the main chat box via a single tap.
All the features mentioned above are a lot to ask for and fulfill all the perks you may have ever wanted. If you’re keen to discover more fun features of the Telegram 7.1, the update is available on the Play Store. However, if you want to be the first of all to get your hands on trying the new features, you may download the latest version from APK Mirror directly.
