What facilities are offered with the new Telegram update?
In the new version of Telegram, users can find channels with similar themes much easier, repost stories and send video messages in the form of stories. But this is not all the new features of Telegram. Continue to check this version and its interesting features with Gadget News.
Reposting stories of channels and people
One of the useful features added to this version is the ability to republish or repost stories. Also, during reposting, you can make changes to it by adding a photo or sound and even choose who can see this story. Reposting stories can be an act of support for your favorite channel or audience.
To repost the stories, just press the double arrow icon under the story. The important thing is that public stories can only be republished.
Add video messages to stories
Another feature related to stories that has been added to Telegram is the possibility of placing a video message on the story. This platform wants to turn its messenger into a full-fledged social network, and since social network users have a good relationship with stories, Telegram has decided to invest in this section and add various features to it.
After the ability to repost stories, there is now another feature that allows you to put a video message on videos to show your reaction to that story, or to have a video conversation. It is also possible to use video in republished stories.
To use this feature, you must go to the story editor section and keep your finger on the camera icon.
Viewing the statistics of stories
Reviewing the statistical graph of visiting stories can be important for stores and content producers. That’s why Telegram has provided its users with this feature to see the statistics of the number of views, the number of shares and reactions to each story and to monitor the progress of their channel.
Ability to convert voice to text available to all users
Telegram previously said that although special features will be available to users of the premium version (paid version of Telegram), this does not mean that it will not pay any attention to the users of the regular version. Now Pavel Dorf, the founder of Telegram, has shown that he really means what he says. Until now, the ability to convert voice to text was only available to premium users, but now and gradually this feature will be available to general users and the free version.
Using this feature, you can read the content of a voice message in text form and even translate it into different languages. However, this feature is currently limited to regular version users and only allows them to convert 2 messages per week to text. To use it, you must press the A → icon next to a voice message.
Further customization of profile and chat pages
In the previous version of Telegram, it was possible to choose and change the color of the name, sent links and reply messages for the users of the premium version. But now in the new version you can choose a combination of special colors and attractive icons for your profile and make them different.
Another new feature of the premium version is the ability to choose custom backgrounds for two-person conversations. In fact, you can choose an image that will be displayed in the background of your contact’s chat page.
Access to similar channels
Telegram channels are very popular and millions of users use them every day to get the latest news and access various content. To make it easier to find channels, Telegram provides you with a list of similar channels that you can join after subscribing to each new channel.
Other new features
But in addition to the above features, other features have been added to the new Telegram update that you can use. One of these features is the possibility of customizing emoticons for the messages sent in the channels. Channels can also add 1 new custom reaction emoji to the list of reactions per support level.
Enthusiasts in the world of coding and programmers can now have a custom style for the pieces of code sent, which the user can easily view and copy to their clipboard to use them somewhere.
You can also group groups into topics and messages so that when you re-enter a group and many messages have been posted in it, you can see them by message or topic.
Also, a new attractive effect has been added to the disappearing messages, which will disappear with an attractive effect when the viewing time is over. Of course, this feature is only for the iOS version and Apple iPhones.
