Hidden Media, Zero Storage Usage, New Drawing Tools, Profile Pictures for Your Contacts, and More
Telegram for Android, iOS have been updated to version 9.3.
⚠️ Other Telegram clients will receive the new version shortly.
Hidden Media
• You can cover photos and videos with a shimmering layer that blurs the image. It will take your recipients one tap to break the spell and see the content.
• In the attachment menu, select one or more items and choose 'Hide with Spoiler'.
Zero Storage Usage
• You can add separate auto-remove settings for cached media from Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – with exceptions for specific chats.
• The new pie charts help visualize what's taking up space, and dedicated tabs for Media, Files and Music let you clear the largest items in just a few taps.
• On iOS, it was greatly reduced the time it takes the app to calculate cache size.
New Drawing and Text Tools
• Telegram's already powerful media editor has been fully redesigned.
• Drawing tools dynamically change width based on drawing speed and automatically smooth your lines.
• There is a new blur tool to redact sensitive data (or photobombers) – and 5 high-precision ways to choose colors, including the Eyedropper tool.
• When adding text to photos or videos, you can now change its size, font, and background.
• Adding custom animated emoji to text on images is available for all users, even if they don't have a Telegram Premium subscription.
• To quickly add shapes like rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles, tap the “+” button.
• You can also hold the surface to fill the canvas with color – or to erase everything.
• In the coming updates, Telegram plans to further refine the media editor interfaces and improve their performance.
Profile Pictures for Your Contacts
• When editing your contacts, you can choose a picture for them – only you will see it on their profile.
• If you have a good profile picture for your contact, you can suggest it to them. It will take them just two taps to add it to their profile.
• Open a contact's Profile > Edit, then choose 'Set Photo for…' or 'Suggest Photo for…'.
Public Profile Pictures
• You can set visibility to 'Nobody' and add some users or groups as exceptions.
• These settings are available in Settings > Privacy and Security > Profile Photo.
Hiding Group Members
• Admins of groups with 100+ members can now choose to hide the member list. This way, if people don't send messages to the group, only its admins will know they were there.
New Progress Animations on Android
• Smooth new animations have been added when jumping to a faraway reply in a busy chat and to other pages throughout the app.
🌟 New Animated Emojies
• Premium users get 10 new packs of custom animated emoji as a present from Telegram artists.
More Interactive Emoji
• To watch full-screen effects in sync with your chat partner, send a single 🎅🎄☃️💅🗿🆒🤪 in any 1-on-1 chat and then tap on it.
• All these emoji can now be used as reactions – the Moai face will be particularly useful to see off 2022.
