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.

Unmentioned New Features on Telegram

On December 31, in their official blog, Telegram representatives hinted at the presence of several innovations, which they promised to talk about in January. Some of these features have already appeared in stable versions of applications.

1. Self-destructing voice messages

Telegram users now have the option to send a voice message that will be automatically deleted after the recipient listens to it.

• This message can only be sent in a personal chat.
• This message cannot be forwarded or recorded.
• If the recipient has started listening to a message, it will be deleted as soon as they finish listening to it or close the playback screen.
• In older versions of Telegram, such a voice message is displayed as “unsupported”.

Whether this feature will be implemented for video messages is unknown.

2. Updated the Saved Messages chat

Some users can now view the Saved Messages as Sections.

• To switch to section mode, you need to open the Saved Messages chat and click on its title.
• The list of sections is generated automatically by the application: each section corresponds to a separate chat from which messages were previously forwarded to the Saved Messages. In this case, messages sent to the Saved Messages by the user itself are displayed in the “My Notes” section, and messages from users who have prohibited linking their account when forwarding are stored in the “Author Hidden” section.
• Sections are sorted by the date of the last message forwarded from a given chat to the Saved Messages.
• Sections can be pinned, and pinned sections can be arranged in a convenient order.
• When you go to any section, the application displays all messages forwarded from the corresponding chat. Next to each message there is an icon to go to the original message, and at the bottom of the screen there is a button to go to the chat itself.
• In profiles of chats and channels from which at least one message was forwarded to the Saved Messages, the “Saved Messages” tab is now available. It displays all messages forwarded to Saved Messages from this chat.

⚠️ Attention: Currently only some users have these functions. The editors have no information about when they will become available to everyone.

3. Tags in Saved Messages chat on iOS

In one of the versions of the application for iOS, users could mark messages in the Saved Messages chat with reactions in order to quickly find all messages for any of them in the future. Thus, the reactions in this chat were supposed to function as tags.

However, the search for messages based on their reactions did not become available. In addition, in a subsequent update, references to the ability to sort messages based on reactions also disappeared from the interface.

Telegram Has Been Updated to Version 10.6

Telegram's January update has been released in the app stores, and here's something interesting about it:

Self-destructing Voice Messages: Users can now send a voice message that can be listened to only once, after which it self-destructs. The feature works only in private chats. You cannot forward such messages to other chats.

Self-destructing Video Messages: Like self-destructing voice messages, video messages disappear after the first view and only work in private chats.

Pause During Recording: Pause and play back a voice or a video message before it is sent to the person you are chatting with.

Updated Saved Messages: Now, when you tap on the header, a list of chats is displayed, from which messages have been forwarded to Saved Messages. In addition, in profiles of channels, groups, and other users, the Saved Messages tab allows you to view messages saved from this source.

This update was released without a related post on the messenger's official blog.
