Telegram was updated a couple of days ago, although we usually share all the new features that land with the new version of the application, this time we have decided to bet on a change and we are going to see the 7 most interesting new features that have arrived on Telegram in recent weeks.
Descriptions above the multimedia
Telegram has changed the position of descriptions when sending images. The text that accompanies the photos you send can now be placed at the top. Of course, Telegram will continue to allow this text to be integrated into the lower part of the image.
On an aesthetic level, the change means that the images that are sent have a context as soon as they are seen and you can identify what the user who has sent them at first glance can be identified. No more waiting for the end of a list of images to see the text.
Quick Actions for Phone Numbers
Now, when sending phone numbers within Telegram, what will happen is that the application will show a new menu redesigned to offer options. What the application will offer when receiving a number are the following actions:
- Add contact
- Send message
- Telegram voice call
- Telegram video call
- Call through the operator
- Copy the number
Search by hashtag
It is really strange that, until now, Telegram has not allowed search by hashtag. Channels and user groups often use these elements to identify important content or messages.
Telegram allowed users to use these elements in their private chats, but with this new update hashtag search has become global. This means that when you search on one of these elements, all the similar hashtags of the public channels you are part of will be displayed.
Effects on messages
This may be one of the most visual features that Telegram has released with this update. Messages in individual conversations will now have a wide range of effects that play when the recipient opens the conversation.
These effects can be added to any message, both text and videos recorded with Telegram. Conventional users have 6 effects for free, while those with a premium subscription enjoy more than a hundred effects.
Citations that can be collapsed
Finally, Telegram debuts a new way of quoting when sending messages. The application will now allow hierarchical and collapsible structures to be generated within messages, this new way of understanding messages will allow them to have a smaller size within conversations.
Users will now be able to hide text within these messages, leaving at the beginning what they want other users to read. It may not be one of the most striking features, but it serves to ensure that messages do not take up a huge amount of space in conversations.
