Telegram 8.3 update brings Protected Content, delete old chat history, global themes and more
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.

A recent update to WhatsApp for Android users has brought an issue that is preventing users from sending videos. Spotted after updating to version v2.24.9.34, the issue shows in an error message – “Can’t send this video. Choose a different video and try again.”
This issue seems to be specific to videos that are recorded or saved directly on Android devices. Whereas, videos captured by iPhones, especially in MOV format, are not being affected and can be shared without any issues. This bug is also affecting some videos downloaded from Instagram to the device’s storage.
The video-sending issue on WhatsApp is not affecting every Android user, but it has been verified on some devices, notably the Galaxy S series. Several users reported their concerns on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and more to highlight the inconvenience caused by this unexpected bug.
For those who want an immediate fix to this issue, upgrading to older WhatsApp version 2.24.8.85 is a temporary solution. As of now, WhatsApp has not issued an official statement about the issue. It’s recommended to wait for a permanent solution before proceeding with any app upgrades.
