Send self-destructing media

To be updated Telegram for iOS versions 6.2 function to send media with a timer (in personal messages) was moved the menu, which is invoked by long pressing on the send button.

Perhaps this is done to ensure that the menu editor was the same when you send media in group and channels and in private messages.

At the moment the button is moved only in the iOS client. According to the developer, in the Android client, the button will be moved as soon as it will be a function of crop (or trim) for video as in the client for iPhone.

Looks like a hint of the appearance function. The image on the left iOS, right Android.

Viewing private channels. Explanation

Our post about innovations for private channels yesterday raised a lot of questions for both subscribers and channel administrators.

Explain some of the nuances:

1. For the function to work, the channel must have more than 200 subscribers. The function does not work with private chats.

2. After switching to a private channel by invitation link, two additional features are included for five minutes:
a) enter the channel according to the message sent from this channel;
b) go to the channel using links of the form t.me/c/1234567/12345678.

3. If a public chat is tied to a private channel, then the above-mentioned additional features work without clicking on the invitation link and, moreover, work without time limits. So it was before.

4. After 5 minutes the first entrance to the channel via a private link, it cannot be viewed without a subscription, the client will offer to subscribe to it.

5. Your private channels are safe until you share a link to them. Without this link, users can’t go to the repost from the channel
