Telegram auto-delete message, expiring invites, and more

elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.

What is Telegram Possible Future Strategies?

Cryptoassets enthusiasts use this application for their trade activities, and they may make donations for this cause.If somehow Telegram do run out of money to sustain themselves they will probably introduce some features that will not hinder the rudimentary principle of Telegram but provide users with enhanced and enriched experience. This could be similar to features where characters can be customized in a game which directly do not affect the in-game strategies but add to the experience.
