Telegram version 8.0 update: What to Expect

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. Following the uproar over WhatsApp’s privacy policies, it gained a lot of traction. To keep up with its expanding popularity, it has been adding feature after feature since then.

With the release of version 8.0, the encrypted messaging app has included live streaming with unlimited viewers to groups and channels. Options to remove captions from media and hide sender names when forwarding have been added, as well as a quick switch to an unread channel without returning to the chat list, and an updated sticker panel with new animated emoji.

Further Details

The live stream function accommodates an unlimited number of spectators while also allowing them to raise their hands and join the broadcast. The Group Video Calls feature, which was added in previous versions, is already a great tool for live broadcasts, and it just got better with the addition of unlimited viewer support.

Users can even preview and alter the message’s appearance, as well as choose from a variety of customization choices. Users can hide the sender’s name or captions on media messages, deselect messages they don’t want to send and alter the recipient if they accidentally tapped the wrong conversation. They can also scroll through the channels they’ve subscribed to without having to return to the chat list. The application will follow the structure set up by users if the chat list has been organized with folders or archived chats: channels in the current folder, then inside each folder, those left in all chats and the archive.

In the sticker panel, the app now displays trending stickers above “Recently Used.” Users may now save a pack for later use, and sticker suggestions now have larger previews in the app.

Summing Up

Telegram’s new feature is quite an upgrade. Users will appreciate the new feature and the flexibility. The messaging app is known for being a secure message sharing application and with the addition of new features, its popularity surely keeps increasing. We will have t wait and see if the platform keeps up with this momentum or if slides back down the chart.
