Media Editor. With more functions than standalone editing apps, Telegram’s powerful media editor has tools to add text, drawings, stickers and more. Create custom GIFs from your own videos, make basic and advanced corrections, and add decorations for another layer of artistry.
Disappearing Photos and Videos. You can send disappearing media in any one-on-one chat. They self-destruct after opening, leaving no trace of your confidential content. On Android tap the ⏱ icon in the media editor, and on iOS press and hold the 'Send' button > Send With Timer.
Media Panel: Add Stickers. Decorate your photo or video with stickers – adding animated stickers creates a quick GIF featuring your favorite characters.
Partial Selection. You can select any portion of a message to copy or share, instead of only the full text. And here’s how it looks on iOS.
Audio Playback Speeds. Tap to enable 2x playback speed for voice messages, podcasts and long audio files. Press and hold the 2x button to choose other speeds such as 0.5x and 1.5x. Don’t worry if you don’t finish listening – your progress is automatically saved for later. Multiple playback speeds are also available for videos […]
Timestamps. If you add a timestamp like 0:05 to a video caption or reply, it will be automatically highlighted as a link. Tapping on a timestamp will play the video from the right spot. Timestamps are supported on Telegram videos and for messages with YouTube links, in case you want to mark your favorite moments.
Add people nearby. Quickly exchange contact info with Telegram users who are standing next to you (and also have this section open).
People Nearby. If you’re looking to connect with people in your community, head over to Contacts > People Nearby to see adventurous Telegram users in your area. You can join in by tapping Make Myself Visible, which adds your profile to the list so other users can send you a message. If you’re no longer […]
Profiles. Users, Groups and Channels all have detailed (and stunning) profile pages that include full-size profile photos and instant access to shared media. Expand any item into a fullscreen view, then tap left and right to flip forward and back.
Profile Videos. You can upload both photos and videos to your profile, showing off all your good sides. Select a video from your gallery, make any edits you’d like, then drag across the timeline to select a frame for your static picture in chats. When someone opens your profile, they’ll see your video play in […]
Video Calls. Start a one-on-one video call with a user from their profile page for a little face-to-face communication.
