Meanwhile, Telegram has announced a host of new features for its users. These include new ways to save space on your device, new drawing tools, suggested profile pictures, and more. Some of these features are available to Android users, while some are available for iOS users. Here we take a look at all the feature announced

One major rolled out to Telegram is the spoiler formatting which allows users to hide text in photos and videos. Users can now cover photos and videos with a shimmering layer that blurs the image. To do so, go to the attachment menu, select one or more items, and then tap Menu and choose ‘Hide with Spoiler’.

Another feature is the zero storage usage which means users can remove media and documents from their phone’s storage and re-download them from Telegram cloud at any time. “For years, users could set a maximum cache size or auto-remove unused items after a period of time,” the company said.
