Telegram February 2023 Update
With the new update, Telegram gets a bunch of new features for all devices. You can check them below.
Profile Picture Maker
Users can now quickly turn any sticker or animated emoji into a profile picture for their accounts, groups, or channels. Everyone can use animated and custom emojis for these photos, even if they don’t have Telegram Premium.
Moreover, you can set or suggest profile pictures for your contacts – try editing a contact’s information on Telegram.
Translating Entire Chats
Users who have a Telegram Premium subscription can now translate entire chats, groups, and channels in real-time by tapping on the translation bar at the top. From the options menu, you can hide the bar and control which languages are translated.
However, all users can translate individual messages by selecting it and tapping on the Translate option.
Emoji Categories
Now you can sort stickers and emojis by categories (like heart, thumb, and more) in the panel. For a better look before sending, you can hold it to Zoom in. Telegram users can send over a million different stickers and emojis, but choosing the right one isn’t a full-time job.
Network Usage
With detailed pie charts for Wi-Fi and mobile data, you can see how much data is used by Telegram and also modify your auto-download settings to suit your data plan.
Auto Save Incoming Media
You can now control when media is automatically saved to your gallery based on its size, type, and whether it’s received from chats. This menu now also supports exceptions, so you can save only what you want.
You do not need to download everything on your mobile. Even if something gets deleted from your mobile, you can download it again from Telegram.
Granular Media Permissions
Admin of the group can choose whether to allow members to send up to 9 different media types such as photo, voice, or video messages. They can also disable text messages to create media-only groups.
Finally, it is possible to communicate using only voice notes, or only quizzes, without the need for the administrator to be constantly attentive.
Annual Premium Subscription
You can get 40% off on your Telegram Premium subscription by prepaying for one year of exclusive features.
Chat Selection for Bots
Bot developers can add special buttons that help users select groups, channels, or people that meet predefined criteria.
Re-Login Apple and Google ID
Without entering an SMS code, logged-out users can quickly log back in using their Apple or Google ID. If you set up a two-step verification password, you’ll still need to enter it.
New Custom Emoji
The latest telegram update added 10 new custom emoji packs from Telegram artists. This time, the company has brought hundreds of icons specially designed for groups and profile pictures. You can browse and add any of these packs directly from the new trending section at the top of the emoji panel.
New Interactive Emoji
The new interactive versions of some emojis have been added. You can send any of them in a one-on-one chat, then tap to reveal the full-screen effect for you and your partner. Everyone can use these emojis as a reaction as well.
Samsung has confirmed that it will fix an issue with the Home Up Finder feature through a new software update. Some Galaxy users have been facing an issue where the Finder’s layout does not appear correctly on their screens.
According to the information, the Finder sometimes overlaps with the battery, network, sound, and clock icons at the top of the screen. This overlap can hide the search field or make it difficult to use.
Users have reported that this issue makes it hard to search for apps or use the Finder effectively. Samsung has recognized this issue and is working on a solution. The community moderator has announced that the company will release a software update to fix the layout of the Finder feature of the Home Up.
Moreover, Samsung has also apologized for the inconvenience the Home Up Finder issue may have caused and ensures users that the company will fix it. Users should keep their devices updated by checking for new software updates regularly.
Previously, the company added the long-awaited ‘Access Finder’ feature that makes it easier for users to find and open apps quickly. In addition, users now have a new ‘App Icon Setting’ for the customization of app icons.
Several Galaxy users are facing the issue after using the Finder feature of the Home Up Good Lock module. Fortunately, the company has confirmed to solve it with the upcoming software update.
However, Samsung has not provided a specific timeline for when this issue will be resolved. Users will need to wait for future software updates and official announcements from Samsung regarding the Finder bug.
WhatsApp is planning to bring a new feature to reshare status updates easily, just like Instagram. The latest beta update of WhatsApp for Android arrives with version 2.24.16.4, which simplifies the way how users share status updates where they’ve been mentioned.
The fresh beta update reveals that WhatsApp is working on a new feature for direct resharing. This feature removes the need for users to take screenshots or ask for the post to be sent privately as it makes it much simpler to share interesting updates on their status.
You can find the reshare button at the bottom of the screen on the WhatsApp status interface. This option appears specifically on status updates where someone has mentioned you. In other cases, you will see the option to reply to the status instead.
By adding a new reshare button to the mentioned post, WhatsApp aims to enhance user convenience and connectivity. However, you can still manage your status privacy settings.
Previously, WhatsApp introduced the option to mention specific contacts in status updates to allow direct notifications to be sent to them. Now, WhatsApp is working on allowing users to reshare the mentioned status updates directly.
Notably, the new features are currently under development and the company will soon make it available for users. This feature is much like what users are already familiar with on platforms like Instagram. Stay tuned with us to know more information.
