Telegram announced their newest update that adds more features to Telegram Premium subscription and for everyone. The update is currently out on iOS and Android, and soon Telegram will roll it out to other platforms. Let’s look at all the new features that Telegram added to this update.
Emoji Statuses
Now Telegram has included a new emoji Status as a part of its premium features. Premium users now add an animated emoji status displayed next to their name. These will apply to those who have premium users of Telegram.
All premium users get a 🌟 Special badge with incredible features, which can appear next to their name in the chat list. Also, they appear in the chat header and member lists of groups. Now you can set one of 7 standard statuses that change their color grading to match various Telegram themes – or choose from several custom emoji.
Infinite Reactions
All Telegram users, including the non-premium users, now have access to a more significant number of reactions. These reactions also include the ones that were previously only available for premium users, like 🤣 😐 🐳.
The reaction panel got a redesign to accommodate more emojis. However, your most used reactions will always appear on top. As for Premium users, they can pick reactions from an infinite selection of custom emojis. Plus, they can add up to three reactions to a single message.
Custom Themes
Telegram adds custom themes, and you can choose from the app’s several themes and color combinations. It’ll also change elements like the colors of chat backgrounds and messages.
To do this, head over to Telegram’s settings by sliding over the hamburger menu from the app’s left. Here, choose ‘Settings’ and then click on ‘Chat Settings. In this menu, you will see several themes and color options to choose from, and you customize any color. Further, you can also change the curve on message boxes and font size.
Improved Login Flow
This feature is a blessing for those who frequently log out and log back in. Users can receive login codes via email or sign in with Apple or Google.
New Username Links
Have you ever wanted to share a username with someone? Well, now it is getting more accessible with username links. Users will now have their unique link format— username.t.me. It allows anyone with the link to quickly contact any user on Telegram.
Prioritize Downloads On Android
Now you can easily access the media and files that are actively downloading, which can be managed from the Downloads tab of Search or by tapping the download icon that appears in your chat list. Furthermore, you can drag the downloads and reorder them according to your priorities. This feature is only available on Android.
