7 new features coming to your Telegram app

Telegram has just released numerous new upgrades, including a slew of new features to improve user privacy. The new Telegram app features, which range from allowing premium users to see articles anonymously to adding their birthday to their profile, are intended to improve the overall platform experience of the 900 million monthly active users. Users will also be able to enhance personalisation choices for profiles and channels.

According to the platform, these new enhancements provide Telegram users greater control over their profiles, interactions, and communication inside channels and groups, India Today said. So, without further ado, let's take a closer look at the new features Telegram has introduced to its platform.

1. Mass Moderation for Groups: Group administrators can do mass moderation by choosing several messages for moderation actions and limiting user permissions without immediately banning them. Recent activities are more compact, with related acts clustered together and search phrases highlighted more clearly.

2. View Stories Anonymously: Premium users may activate Stealth Mode to view stories anonymously, either from the story menu or by pressing and holding a story in their feed. This mode masks their views for a brief period of time.

3. My Profile: Users may examine and change their information in the 'My Profile' section of Settings. Users may also pin up to three articles to the top of their profile to highlight significant events or accomplishments.

4. Profile Pictures in Forwarded Messages: Forwarded messages now contain the user's profile photograph from where they were forwarded, making discussions more identifiable. Premium users may add personalized and animated emojis to polls to increase the fun and creativity in conversations.

5. Channels: To facilitate content discovery, Telegram's search interface now includes a new 'Channels' tab that lists users' favorite channels and recommends additional channels with comparable material.

6. Birthdays: Telegram users may now add their birthdays to their profiles. Contacts who visit a profile on a user's birthday will be welcomed with animated confetti and balloons, while a birthday banner will show in the chat list when it is someone else's birthday.

7. Swipe for Next topic: Users in groups with topics enabled may swipe to the next unread subject, making it simpler to keep up with varied conversations. Furthermore, Telegram's desktop client has Instant View for websites, which enables for quick and easy page loading with embedded media.
