Telegram just upped its game with a ton of awesome updates! Whether you’re a privacy champion, a channel king, or just looking for more ways to express yourself, Telegram’s got you covered.
Deep Dive into Your Profile:
- My Profile Makeover: Ever wondered what your profile looks like to others? Now you can see and edit it right within the app! Pin your most epic stories for all to see, and channel owners can even add a channel preview for easy access.
- Channel Collections: Show off your favorite channels directly on your profile. Give visitors a taste of what your go-to channels are all about, all with a single tap.
- Birthday Bonanza: Add your birthday to your profile for some festive flair! Contacts get a birthday greeting with confetti and balloons, while a special banner pops up in chats for those special days.
Channel Control on Steroids:
- Admins Assemble!: Group admins, rejoice! Mass moderation lets you tackle multiple messages at once and adjust user permissions without the ban hammer. Plus, recent actions are cleaner and easier to search.
- Reaction Revolution: Channel admins can now control the types and number of reactions users can leave on posts, keeping things organized and on-topic. Premium users can even support their favorite channels by unhiding ads (they’re more helpful than ever now!).
More Features, More Fun:
- Location on Lock-in: Share your live location indefinitely so friends and family can track your journey and get arrival notifications.
- Forwarding Finesse: Forwarded messages now show the profile picture of who sent them originally, keeping conversations clear.
- Premium Perks: Feeling fancy? Premium users can add custom and animated emojis to polls, making interactions way more fun and creative!
