New features on Telegram

– Shareable folders: Telegram seeks to facilitate the organization and management of chats in the professional and personal spheres. When you have a large volume of conversations, folders allow you to separate conversations by topics or categories like work, family, friends, studies, among others.

Now these chat folders can be shared with other users (up to a maximum of 200) via a link. Each chat folder supports multiple invite links, allowing you to give different people access to different chats.

Creating a chat folder is simple. All you have to do is go to the Telegram settings and select the “Chat folders” option. From there, you can create a new folder, give it a name, and start adding the corresponding chats. Additionally, folders can be configured to include or exclude all chats of a particular type, such as channels or unread chats, or select chats individually.

-Customize wallpapers in chats: This option allows you to apply specific funds, sending a message to the interlocutor so that you can add this same fund to your own mobile in this conversation. To do this, you must enter the “Change background” section of the application settings menu.

-Direct links to web applications: The operation of Telegram bots that allow companies to provide utilities and services to their users has also been improved. This opens the door to collaborative and even multiplayer features that developers and businesses can use.

-Fast scrolling: It allows you to navigate faster in the gallery that displays the files, indicating the month and year of the received files in the date bar, similar to what happens with the image carousels in the iOS or Android galleries .

-Improvements in the user interface: This means fewer screen taps are required to navigate the app. For example, it is enough to press the “Send” button in a chat to see the time of the last connection of the interlocutor. Groups can also be created without the need to immediately add members and therefore first configure permissions or post messages. Also, in the latest iPhone models, when you scroll the Telegram screen vertically down on the profiles and information pages, a new animation appears on the dynamic island.
