Video Calls and Seven Years of Telegram
Today marks seven years of Telegram. In 2013, we began as a small app focused on secure messaging and have since grown into a platform with over 400M users. Now this platform also offers video calls.
Today’s update adds filters to global search, a new setting to make group admins anonymous, and channel comments to start a conversation in your community.
New filters for media type, date and source are available in Global Search.
Admins can now become invisible in the list of members. Messages from these anonymous admins show no trace of their personal account and instead are signed with the name of the group.
Channels with a discussion group now have a comments button under their posts. You can try it here: @durov.

Today's update brings you multiple pinned messages, proximity alerts for Live Locations, sending music as Playlists, and more.
All chats, including one-on-one chats now support multiple pinned messages. Tap on the top bar to jump through them in chat, or use the new icon to open all the pinned messages on a separate page.
When sharing Live Location, you can now set distance alerts that will send you a notification when someone is close, and icons on the map show which direction users are facing.
Sending multiple music files at the same time will create a playlist. Pressing play will automatically add the rest of the tracks to your queue. For other file types, multiple photos or documents will be sent as an album.
It wouldn’t be an update without extra animated emoji, so check out what happens when you send a single ⚰️ 🎃 🧛♀️ 🧟♂️ 🦇 🕷 🕸 🌜 🌛 or 🗿 in chat (and tap on the animated ⚰️ and 🎃 emojis in chat for an extra surprise).
