On iOS, self-destructing media option is now moved to the sending option.
(On Android, still on the toolbar)

Hello @Telegram, we need consistency in UX 👋🏿

Send self-destructing media

To be updated Telegram for iOS versions 6.2 function to send media with a timer (in personal messages) was moved the menu, which is invoked by long pressing on the send button.

Perhaps this is done to ensure that the menu editor was the same when you send media in group and channels and in private messages.

At the moment the button is moved only in the iOS client. According to the developer, in the Android client, the button will be moved as soon as it will be a function of crop (or trim) for video as in the client for iPhone.

Looks like a hint of the appearance function. The image on the left iOS, right Android.
