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 WhatsAppโs privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitorsโ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegramโs 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 wonโt remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, itโll stick around. Telegramโs competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
The S&P 500 slumped 1.8% on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to China Evergrande, the Chinese property company that looks like it is ready to default on its more-than $300 billion in debt. Cries of the next Lehman Brothersโor maybe the next Silverado?โechoed through the canyons of Wall Street as investors prepared for the worst.
