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.

Built-in Camera Gains QR Code Scanning Capability
The Beta version of Telegram for Android (11.6.0) now supports QR code scanning with the built-in camera, though with certain limitations.
Firstly, this feature is exclusive to the camera used for capturing stories. If you access the camera via the attach menu in a chat, the scanning functionality will not be available.
Secondly, the QR code must link to a user profile, bot, public group, or public channel—essentially, anything with a public username.

Chat Type Filter For Global Search
In the latest Beta version of Telegram for Android (11.6.0), users can now refine their global search results by selecting specific chat types to search within.
This new feature allows users to click the "From all chats" button on the global search screen and specify the scope of their search. Options include searching across all chats, private chats, groups, or channels.
However, this functionality currently not accessible at all times. For some search terms, the chat filter is only operational on the test server, while for others, it also works on the main server.
