Updated Saved Messages
In the Beta version of Telegram for Android, Saved Messages has received new features.
Saved Messages are now grouped by message peers, which is users, chats, and channels. Sources in this list can be pinned. This, for example, allows you to only see your saved messages of a specific person or channel, if you forwarded anything from them into the Saved Messages chat.
The message will be categorized as “Author Hidden” if the user you forwarded the message from has restrictions set for the “Who can add a link to my account when forwarding my messages” setting.
The Saved Messages tab has also appeared in the channel, group and user profiles. It only shows if you have any messages saved. This way you can quickly view the messages saved from this source.
The update is in testing right now, so for some users it may work incorrectly or not work at all.
Previously, the updated Saved Messages were seen in Telegram for iOS version 10.5 and Telegram Desktop version 4.14.
