Telegram
has rolled out a new update for its users. The new feature-rich update adds improved calls with a colorful new design that uses less of your phone's battery, a new vaporize effect when you delete messages, the largest bot update. Here are all the new and improved features coming to Telegram
Upgraded calls
The latest update brings a redesigned interface to calls.
The cloud-based messaging app has added new animations and backgrounds that change dynamically based on the call's status: ringing, active or ended. The new interface requires fewer resources than before, which means it saves battery life and works better on older devices.
Thanos snap effect when deleting messages
Last month we added an experimental vaporize animation on
iOS
for auto-deleted messages. This impressive (and energy-efficient) animation is now available on both iOS and
Android
and plays whenever you delete any message.
Bot Update: Reactions and much more
Telegram's free bot platform empowers developers to seamlessly integrate various services into the Telegram ecosystem. This encompasses a wide spectrum, ranging from basic chat bots to robust mini-applications capable of serving as substitutes for entire websites. The recent update introduces a myriad of features, enabling bots to respond to messages, oversee reactions, quotes, and links, as well as send replies to different chats or topics, among other functionalities.
In addition, with this latest update, bots gain the ability to access information about giveaways and boosts within channels where they hold administrative privileges.
