Tags in "Saved Messages" Chat on iOS

The Telegram for iOS in the "Saved Messages" chat now allows users to label messages with reactions, making it easier to find all messages marked with a particular reaction in the future. In this way, reactions in this chat begin to serve as tags.

Quick message search is not yet available, but the appearance of reactions has already changed: they now look like labels.

⁣Unmentioned New Features on Telegram

On December 31, in their official blog, Telegram representatives hinted at the presence of several innovations, which they promised to talk about in January. Some of these features have already appeared in stable versions of applications.

1. Self-destructing voice messages

Telegram users now have the option to send a voice message that will be automatically deleted after the recipient listens to it.

• This message can only be sent in a personal chat.
• This message cannot be forwarded or recorded.
• If the recipient has started listening to a message, it will be deleted as soon as they finish listening to it or close the playback screen.
• In older versions of Telegram, such a voice message is displayed as “unsupported”.

Whether this feature will be implemented for video messages is unknown.

2. Updated the Saved Messages chat

Some users can now view the Saved Messages as Sections.

• To switch to section mode, you need to open the Saved Messages chat and click on its title.
• The list of sections is generated automatically by the application: each section corresponds to a separate chat from which messages were previously forwarded to the Saved Messages. In this case, messages sent to the Saved Messages by the user itself are displayed in the “My Notes” section, and messages from users who have prohibited linking their account when forwarding are stored in the “Author Hidden” section.
• Sections are sorted by the date of the last message forwarded from a given chat to the Saved Messages.
• Sections can be pinned, and pinned sections can be arranged in a convenient order.
• When you go to any section, the application displays all messages forwarded from the corresponding chat. Next to each message there is an icon to go to the original message, and at the bottom of the screen there is a button to go to the chat itself.
• In profiles of chats and channels from which at least one message was forwarded to the Saved Messages, the “Saved Messages” tab is now available. It displays all messages forwarded to Saved Messages from this chat.

⚠️ Attention: Currently only some users have these functions. The editors have no information about when they will become available to everyone.

3. Tags in Saved Messages chat on iOS

In one of the versions of the application for iOS, users could mark messages in the Saved Messages chat with reactions in order to quickly find all messages for any of them in the future. Thus, the reactions in this chat were supposed to function as tags.

However, the search for messages based on their reactions did not become available. In addition, in a subsequent update, references to the ability to sort messages based on reactions also disappeared from the interface.
