Helps answer questions on how to do it in Telegram

Change Colors. You can choose from dozens of color schemes in Chat Settings (Appearance Settings on iOS). For more artistic freedom, try the full Theme Editor – or find links to themes created by others.
Cloud Themes sync across your devices and have unique, shareable links. Everyone can make them in our Theme Editor. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, our designers put together this tribute to an app that used to be independent: https://t.me/addtheme/RetroGreen
Edit Messages. Quickly fix mistakes or add extra formatting and information to a message you've sent. Once changed, an edited label appears on the message bubble. You can also edit sent media to change, crop or correct photos and videos.
Unsend anything. On Telegram you can delete messages you have sent or received for both sides, and there is no time limit. You can also delete chats and call logs entirely from both your and the other person's devices with just two taps.

Reorder Sticker Packs. Hold and drag a sticker pack’s thumbnail to change its place in your panel. You can also reorder your sticker packs from Settings > Chat Settings > Stickers (Android) or Settings > Stickers (iOS).
Animated emoji. Sending a single emoji in a message will display a stylish animated version. We keep expanding the animated emoji army, adding new ones with every update.
Mini-Game Emoji. There are several emoji which you can send in chat to test your luck: 🎰, 🎲, 🎯, ⚽️ and 🏀.
Scheduled Messages. Hold the ‘Send’ button in any chat and select ‘Schedule Message’ to automatically send things at a specified time in the future (DeLorean not included). If you can't guess what time would be good, choose to deliver the message when your recipient comes online.
Send When Online. You can schedule messages or media to be sent when your recipient comes online. Slide your message in with the morning post – or time a duck sticker for the exact moment a meeting gets boring.
