Ideas for Telegram

2016-09-24 12:14:33 11 Small Improvements

GENERAL:
- Allow to set which of your devices can receive secret chats (if you use a tablet and a phone, but want to receive all secret chats on your phone and not on your last active device).
- Store downloaded media in seperate folders for each contact.
- Ability to lock the audio recording button (for example if you want to record a class for yourself, taking advantage of your personal cloud).
- Search option in "send music" (today you have to scroll through all your songs).
- Short bios for users.
- Filter messages from unknown senders (that are not in your contacts) into a different tab that doesn't notify you (similar to iMessage and Facebook Messenger).
- History for changed messages.
- Ability to edit videos if they are recorded with instant camera (especially useful if you want to create a gif).

CHANNELS:
- Global search in all public channels (similar to twitter), results ordered by relevance and channel size.

GROUPS:
- Search in the member list of a group/supergroup.
- Option to list all the bots in one group, sorted by "access to messages" and "no access to messages". Open / Comment

2016-04-11 05:46:41 NEW IDEA: Bot widgets

Today, there is no beautiful way to interact with bots in groups and no way (except deep links) to interact with bots in channels.

Bot widgets allow both and more:

- You can directly interact with bot widgets by pressing the “+”-button in the upper right corner, which opens a popup (which is basically a deep link with the message-id to the bot). This allows to interact with many different bots without messing with your chat history — and, even more important, with many instances of the same bot, for example many different polls.
- Bot widgets can update their messages sent to groups or channels in real time, which allows direct feedback about the latest interactions with the message the bot sent or live updates of the content of a message. Open / Comment

2016-01-31 17:00:36 Somebody requested a Chrome extension to share webpages via Telegram with just one click, and since this is a very easy task, I programmed one.
If you are using Google Chrome and Telegram Desktop or Telegram Web, try Telegram Share:
