A new version of Telegram, a new package of improvements that takes the experience to a level that a few years ago seemed impossible. The story repeats itself once again with the update to version 8.7 of Telegram, which has reached users through the app stores.
Telegram 8.7 allows users to customize notifications more precisely by being able to create their own notification tones with sounds, as well as mute them for a certain time.
In addition, there are improvements in the PiP mode (Picture in Picture) for Android, translations on iOS and a bot platform with very interesting improvements. Infobae brings everything below:
Bots with great improvements
The latest version of Telegram took a step forward to its BOT platform, allowing developers to create interfaces with JavaScript.
In fact, this allows you to create all kinds of complex applications on Telegram stickers, without having to submit to browsers.
Another change related to bots is that users can now add robots to groups or channel profiles, then easily configure permissions.
Notifications with custom sounds
The latest version of Telegram allows you to easily customize notifications with your own notification tones without having to waste time with mobile options and conveniently synchronized settings in all versions of Telegram that you use.
To do this, you have to enter the chat options. Then, in the Notifications section, you can select the mobile audio files (up to 5 seconds long and less than 300 KB in size) to use as a notification tone for any chat.
Improvements to message forwarding
Message forwarding can become messy, because sometimes it gets lost along the way. This will no longer happen in Telegram: Forwarding messages will keep reply information, making it easier to read.
You can now mute conversations more accurately
Sometimes, you want a chat to sound with a personalized sound and other times, you want it to sound nothing. Telegram has revamped its notification settings with a simple menu where you can individually choose whether you want chat notifications to come to you without sound.
In this second case, you can choose exactly how long you will mute the chat, instead of having to choose from a closed list as in previous versions of the application. From 1 hour to 365 days.
Best translation on iPhone
Telegram 8.7 added message translation and now its iOS version has been updated to match Android.
Translating messages in Telegram for iOS adds more languages and, according to its creators, with higher quality results.
Best Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode for Android
A new feature exclusive to Telegram for Android resides in a floating window when playing a video or in PiP mode.
The new version of the application improves video playback in PiP mode so that it can be resized or closed. In addition, it has a design with rounded corners.
New animated emojis
Rare is the opportunity that a new version of Telegram does not accompany some animated emoticons.
There are 15 new animated emoticons, with food as the main character. To appreciate them, just send a message containing one of these and that's it.
Self-deletion in Temporary Messages
There are also changes to Telegram's temporary messages or rather the auto-delete function. And now, it's more accessible from the ⋮ menu in the profile view.
Not only that, you can also choose the exact amount of time before messages are automatically deleted. Instead of having to choose from several options, you can now configure messages to last from 1 day to 1 year, with several periods in between.
