Instant Media Captions. On all Telegram apps, the text you type in the message bar automatically converts to a caption when you attach media.
This also works with Cloud Drafts – so you can type out the message on one device, then simply attach your media from another device and send it all together.
Tap ⋮ on Android to attach media after putting text in the message bar.
Global Themes on iOS. Choose from 9 themes built by Telegram designers for your entire app – each with a Day and Nightmode, colorful animated background, and gradient message bubbles. (Coming soon to Android)
Like all themes, you can personalize these to change colors or pick a different pattern. For more custom settings, tap Chat Themes to edit and share your creations.
Join Requests. Enable admin approval for additional links to your group or channel so you can preview potential members before they are able to access the chat.
With these links you can create and join special closed chats – like a group just for superfans, or a channel with exclusive content. Users opening these links send a join request, which admins can manage from a banner at the top of the chat.
Bot developers have the tools to build bots that can share invite links and approve potential members – or even give them special tasks before they are allowed to join.
Shared Media. Tap the header in any chat to open its Shared Media page – containing all the photos, videos, music and more that have been sent there.
Drag the date bar to swiftly scroll back years in the past, and tap the bar to open a calendar view with media previews for each day.
Tap ⋮ or ⋯ to show only photos, only videos, or both and pinch to zoom in or out and change the size of the previews – then press and hold on any thumbnail to jump to its place in the chat.
Productivity Tip: Use pinned messages in Groups and Channels to highlight important info or create a directory to easily navigate between messages or even multiple chats.
All messages in groups and channels have unique links that will instantly direct a user to that specific message.
In private groups and channels, these links only work for members or subscribers of the chat.
Bots. Perform tasks and accessservices built on Telegram’s open Bot Platform. Use the Bot Menu or enter text to send your command, and the Bot will instantly process your request.
Any developer can build these chat-based applications that run directly inside Telegram for anything from online stores to arcade games.
Public Groups and Channels. All groups and channels are private by default, but you can make them public and open for any user to join or subscribe.
Public groups and channels appear in Global Search results, can reach an unlimited audience and host massive communities for any interest – from cats to cryptocurrency.
You must be the chat owner to change the group or channel type. On Android tap the Chat Header > ✏️ > Group/Channel Type. On iOS tap the Chat Header > Edit > Group/Channel Type.
Record Live Video. Admins can record Live Streams and Video Chats to save and share after the broadcast.
Video can be recorded in portrait or landscape orientations, and after the recording is stopped or the broadcast ends, the file is instantly uploaded to the admin’s Saved Messages.
You can start recording from any device – simply tap ⋮ or ⋯ to open the broadcast menu.
Group Read Receipts. In groups, your message is marked as read as soon as one member opens it. You can then select your message to see which group members have read it.
To protect users’ privacy, read receipts in groups are only stored for 7 days after the message was sent.
