Greeting contacts in Telegram

In Telegram for Android and iOS version 7.4 it is now possible to greet new users from the notebook using a sticker. But with a slight difference for different platforms.

Android: if there are few dialogs in the chat list, the messenger will suggest contacts. In a chat, you can select a sticker for a greeting (so that contacts are not displayed, you need to have more chats in the main dialog list).

iOS: in a chat with a user who has "Joined Telegram" a welcome sticker appears.

Report as fake

Along with the tag, Telegram for Android and iOS version 7.4 has a new item in the "Report" section – Fake Account.

Android: three dots menu > report.
iOS: description page > more> report.

Interesting fact: Android users can complain about channels where they are admin, as well as channels where there is a verification checkmark (on iOS, there is no complain button for such channels).

Control Your Digital Footprint

Your data is your business, which is why Telegram users can not only export their chats, but also delete messages they send and receive for both sides – without a trace.

With this update, you get even more control: secret chats, groups you created and call history can now also be deleted for all sides at any time.

Telegram servers don’t store information about deleted chats and call logs, so the data will disappear completely, forever.

Telegram for Android updated to version 7.4.1

What's new:
– Support for importing chats from Line.
– Import work with WhatsApp Business.
– Fixed import errors (sometimes a text file was sent).
– Minor fixes and improvements.

Download: Google Play, APK from official site or verified channel.

#update #Android

Improved importing and free import API for developers

Pavel Durov made a post about the recent update and disclosed details about the future of the importing tool in Telegram.

«The feature currently imports messages to the end of the target Telegram conversation, but retains the original timestamps of messages. Some folks have been asking whether we can mix the existing messages in a Telegram chat with the imported messages in one unified timeline. This should be possible if the target chat (where you import messages to) has fewer than 100 messages, so we’ve started to work on that.

We’ll also provide free APIs for third-party developers who want to create tools that will allow users to import messages to Telegram from anywhere. Hopefully, such tools will help add support for more apps than this first wave of three – and also allow users to import multiple chats or their entire inbox at once.

The original meaning of the paper plane on the Telegram logo means “freedom”. For us, freedom of choice and data portability are paramount. People should be in complete control over their own data – and their own lives».

Completely delete messages, groups, secret chats and call history for all parties without a trace

In updating Telegram to version 7.4, work has been done to remove messages for both parties.

What's new:
– Calls can be deleted for both parties (even all calls).
– The creator of the group can not only exit (delete for himself), but also delete the group for everyone.
– The creator of the channel can not only exit (delete for himself), but also delete the channel for everyone.
– Secret chat works as usual: messages can be deleted for two parties, and the chat can completely disappear from the interlocutor's list if you delete the chat for two parties (previously it was displayed as "canceled").

#FAQ

Telegram raised the voice chat limit to 5000

Because of wallstreetbets chat popularity, which reached the 1,000 voice chat limit yesterday, the Telegram team raised the limit up to promised 5,000 participants.

The most recent information is already published on Telegram Limits.

Telegram widgets for Android in the next update

Due to some problems, the Telegram update to version 7.4 was released prematurely. Due to this, the developer did not manage to finish several functions. One of them: widgets.

At the moment, two widgets are available to the user:
• Feed of posts from the channel.
• List of selected chats.

The widgets are functional, by clicking you can open the selected chat or post.

The function was unlocked by the developer of an alternative Telegram client for Android - Catogram. At the moment this the function may not work correctly.

Changing how link previews work when editing a message in Telegram Desktop

If you edit a message with the link preview turned off, it (preview) will not appear again if the link is not changed.

Thus, the user does not need to remove the link preview after each post editing.

If the user needs to include a preview of the link while editing, it will help to fully select the text (Ctrl + A), cut (Ctrl + X) and paste (Ctrl + V) back.
