• Telegram's media editor has a new blur tool for redacting sensitive data (or photobombers) - and 5 high-precision ways to choose colors, including the eyedropper tool.
Social media platform Telegram has announced several new features for its users. These include new ways to save space on your device, new drawing tools, suggested profile pictures and more. Some of these features are available for Android users, while some are available for iOS users. Here we take a look at all the features announced
One major spoiler introduced to Telegram is formatting that allows users to hide text in photos and videos. Users can now cover photos and videos with a shimmering layer that blurs the image. To do this, go to the Attachments menu, select one or more items, and then tap the menu and choose 'Hide with Spoiler'.
Another feature is zero storage usage, which means users can delete media and documents from their phone's storage and re-download them from the Telegram cloud at any time. "For years, users could set a maximum cache size or automatically delete unused items after a period of time," the company said.
With this update, users will be able to add different auto-remove settings for cached media from private chats, groups, and channels - with the exception of specific chats. Telegram has now reduced the time it takes for the app to calculate the cache size on iOS.
Telegram's media editor has a new blur tool for redacting sensitive data (or photobombers) — and 5 high-precision ways to choose colors, including the eyedropper tool. Users can now change the size, font and background while adding text to photos and videos. To add shapes such as rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles, tap the "+" button.
An interesting feature coming to Telegram is the ability to choose a profile picture for contacts that only you will see. To set a profile picture, open a contact's profile > Edit, then select 'Set photo for...' or 'Suggest photo for...'.
In addition, users can now choose a public photo for users with whom they do not wish to share their current profile photo. The update also lets users set visibility to 'None' and add certain users or groups as exceptions. These settings are available in Settings > Privacy & security > Profile photo.
Admins of groups with 100+ members on Telegram can now choose to hide the member list. That way, if people don't send messages to the group, only its admins will know they were there. Telegram has also added new animations, new animated emoji and interactive emoji to the app. Finally, topics are now available in all groups regardless of size - giving a whole new way to organize discussions.
