Telegram is working on a couple of features such as widgets, QR code support for group chats, and options to report content. The new features are currently in beta, and are expected to roll out soon to all users.

Telegram beta version 7.5 comes with the new features which were spotted by TestingCatalog. The messaging app is adding support for QR codes that can be used to invite people to group chats and channels as well. It's also testing a way to limit group chat invite links. Admins will have the option to allow people to use a link for a specific time period or till the group member limit is reached. Another feature in testing is for group chat admins to set a custom timer for messages to auto delete.
