Recently, the Telegram messaging service released a brand new update. The latest Telegram 8.3 update adds various new improvements such as protected content, the ability to easily delete old chat history, a new option for posting anonymously in global themes, public groups and more.
Adding to this, to protect your content from being copied by others, Telegram 8.3 adds a new option called “Restrict Content”, which prevents users from forwarding messages and media to other groups. This tool blocks screenshots and media from being downloaded.
To enable content protection in your group or channel, limit Group or Channel Info page > Group/Channel Type > Restrict Saving Content.
This latest update makes it easier to delete old messages from any conversation. You can now delete messages related to a specific day or date in the chat with anyone. To clear the history of a particular chat, tap the date bar that pops up as you scroll through the chat to open the calendar.
From there, select a day or date range and hit the “Clear History these days” button.
Next, Telegram 8.3 adds a new button that allows you to quickly link a desktop device. There is also a new option to automatically log out devices after a certain period of inactivity.
Another important feature is the ability to post anonymously in public groups and channels. To use it, tap the profile picture in the left corner of the message bar and select the channel name. Messages you post in that group will then appear under the channel name.
Earlier, Telegram introduced eight new items for personal chats. Now the company is making these themes available for the entire app. Each theme has colorful gradient message bubbles, day and night modes, animated background and unique background patterns.
Telegram 8.3 also has some iOS-specific features, such as a text recognition feature, which allows you to quickly select, copy and search text in photos, Redesigned contact info pages for all text formatting options and contacts, groups and channels for media titles.

The latest version includes 11 chat themes, making the collection more diverse and customizable. In particular, the new Blue option is compatible with both light and dark environments.
The developers seemingly preparing to allow users to fully personalize the look and feel of their chats. There will be many themes to choose from, designing the look to match their preferences.
Many users keep WhatsApp to Dark Mode settings even in daytime. The addition of Chat Themes will allow them to fine-tune the brightness level, offering a more comfortable viewing experience.
