Telegram update. Here is all that you will get (Bloomberg)

There are several apps like Telegram, WhatsApp, among others, which can be used to message and communicate with your family and friends. These apps keep on constantly updating themselves to provide better features and to remove lags, if any. The latest news is that a Telegram update has been rolled out. The Telegram update brings tools to help users control their downloads, swiftly share documents, re-arrange media albums before sending, turn their channel into a TV station, and more. Here is all you need to know.

Telegram update: Download Manager

Telegram users can send files of any type up to 2 GB each and access them from any device – with unlimited cloud storage. While files are actively downloading, a new icon will now appear in the Search bar. Tap the icon or go to the 'Downloads' tab in Search to view and manage them – pause and resume all downloads or individual items, and select one to increase its priority or view it in chat, as per a blog post.

Telegram update: New Attachment Menu

When sending multiple photos or videos, tap '… selected' at the top of the panel to preview how the album will look in the chat when it's sent – and rearrange or remove selected media. On iOS, the Attach attachment menu has been fully redesigned to catch up with the Android app. The in-app camera option is now integrated into the gallery and a new navigation bar gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing and more. The updated Files tab shows recently sent files and lets you search for them by name.

Telegram update: Semi-Transparent Interface on Android

In Night Mode, panels and headers have a subtle transparency effect – letting chat backgrounds, stickers and media shine through as you scroll. This update brings visual technologies in the world from other platforms to Android. It can be noted that iOS users have been enjoying semi-transparent headers and footers on Telegram since June 2021.

Telegram update: Phone Number Links

Anyone can create a unique @username from the Settings page – giving others an easy way to contact you via Search or your t.me/username link without sharing your phone number. This update also allows you to share a direct t.me link to your phone number that instantly opens a chat with you. The format for these links is t.me/+123456789, with the full phone number in international format. Also, the link will only work if your privacy settings let others find you by your phone number.

Telegram update: Live Streaming With Other Apps

According to a blog post by Telegram, with this update, you can broadcast from streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit Broadcaster – to add overlays and multi-screen layouts with ease, turning any Telegram channel into a professional TV Station. To stream from these tools, start a new Video Chat in your group or a new Live Stream in your channel, tap the 'Start With' button and enter the information found there into your streaming tool. For better quality, we recommend using software encoding (x264 in OBS). Your viewers will need to update their apps to the latest version to watch your stream.
