⁣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.

#update #Android #iOS #Desktop #macOS

Limit Who You Can Receive Private Messages From: Telegram Premium subscribers can now choose who can start new chats with them: "All users" or "Contacts and Premium users". The new setting is available in the Privacy and Security.

@notoscam Telegram客服（非bot），可以发消息给它举报诈骗账号。至于处理的速度和结果如何目前还不清楚（没有测试过）。

注：最好使用英语交流，目前没有看到所谓的中文客服。

Telegram推出付费加群/赞助打赏和机器人付费等功能 帮助创作者获得收益


本次 Telegram 一共推出三项功能，其中两项是面向内容创作者的，一项是面向机器人开发者的，具体功能如下。赞助打赏：Star Reactions该功能类似微信公众号的赞助功能，创作者在订阅频道发布内容后，用户可以通过 Telegram Star 进行付费打赏以支持创作者。对于赞助打赏 Telegram 不从中抽成，因此用户向创作者的打赏 100% 支付给创作者，要启用此功能请内容创作者转到频道设置、反应、启用付费反应。付费订阅加群：Star Subscriptions该功能允许创作者设置自己频道的私密性并添加付费订阅功能，类似我们常说的付费加群，用户只有支付对应的 Telegram Star 后才能订阅该频道。要启用此功能请转到频道设置、频道类型、管理邀请链接、创建新链接并启用需要月费，之后设置 Star 数即可，之后用户加群需要支付 Star 以及后续每个月都要支付订阅费。机器人付费媒体功能：该功能主要面向机器人开发者，机器人频道的开发者可以设置付费图片和视频，发布后用户必须支付对应的 Star 才可以查看图片或视频。这个货币化策略有助于帮助机器人开发者获得收益从而继续在 Telegram 频道开发机器人，让更多用户可以使用机器人完成各种操作。超级频道功能：从今天开始频道管理员在发布内容时可以选择自己的个人身份发布，即发布的内容不再显示频道名称和图片，这样频道看起来更像是你自己的频道。这个功能使用非常简单，只需要在发布内容时切换身份即可，选择你需要的身份，甚至你还可以以其他频道、其他资料发布信息。 ...

Very good FAQ:

Captions Above Media
Captions for media in chats can now be effortlessly moved to the top by tapping the new 'Move Caption Up' button in the media editor.

Built-in Camera Gains QR Code Scanning Capability

The Beta version of Telegram for Android (11.6.0) now supports QR code scanning with the built-in camera, though with certain limitations.

Firstly, this feature is exclusive to the camera used for capturing stories. If you access the camera via the attach menu in a chat, the scanning functionality will not be available.

Secondly, the QR code must link to a user profile, bot, public group, or public channel—essentially, anything with a public username.

Chat Type Filter For Global Search

In the latest Beta version of Telegram for Android (11.6.0), users can now refine their global search results by selecting specific chat types to search within.

This new feature allows users to click the "From all chats" button on the global search screen and specify the scope of their search. Options include searching across all chats, private chats, groups, or channels.

However, this functionality currently not accessible at all times. For some search terms, the chat filter is only operational on the test server, while for others, it also works on the main server.

#Android

Chat-Specific Hashtags. Groups and channels can use the format #hashtag@username for hashtags to make their content more accessible.

These hashtags automatically filter search results when tapped and only show posts and stories from the specified chat.
