Group Calls: Encryption Emoji. Telegram calls are protected by end-to-end encryption, which can be easily verified by comparing the emoji that appear on screen. If the emoji match for all participants, the call is 100% secure. In group calls, the emoji will update any time someone joins or leaves.
Secure Group Calls. Telegram’s secure 1-on-1 calls can now be easily expanded to hold up to 200 users. You can add users directly to an active call – or have them join with a link or QR code.
Pinned Gifts. Gifts on your profile can now be pinned in any order to highlight your best collectibles at the top of your page – and on your cover photo.
