Telegram's version 8 upgrade, released earlier this month, including limitless live broadcasts, the option to remove subtitles from video, an enhanced sticker panel, new animated emoticons, and other features. Telegram is now expanding on that upgrade with version 8.0.1, which includes additional customisation options for individual chats, comprehensive read receipts in groups, the ability to record video and audio from live streams, and other enhancements. The latest version also includes new chat themes, allowing users to customise the appearance and feel of individual chats.
Chat themes are believed to be the most critical change in the version 8.0.1 release. Users may choose from eight themes, each with colourful gradient message bubbles, a dynamic backdrop, and distinctive background patterns. Users may change the theme by going to Chat Header > Change Colors. The Telegram stated in its statement that it would introduce additional themes in the future. In addition to chat themes, the new version includes animated and interactive emojis. Some animated emojis are now interactive and provide a full-screen effect. If both ends of the conversation are open, the animations and vibrations will be performed at the same time.
