power saving mode
While Telegram has allowed users to turn off some animations within the app with the Reduce Motion setting, users can now do so to conserve battery life with the new battery saver mode. The new mode can be set to turn on automatically when the device’s battery reaches a certain percentage. iOS users can also use the mode to limit background updates. Users can turn on battery saver or adjust settings for autoplay, animations, and effects in Settings > Energy Saver.
Granular game speed
Telegram has allowed users to change the playback speed for videos, voice messages, and podcasts for ages, but these controls have become more granular with this update. Users can now choose any speed between 0.2x-2.5x.
Automatically send invitation links
Telegram allows users to control who can add them to groups. If a user invites someone restricting this, the invitation can now be sent as a link in the DM.
Reading time in small groups
Read receipts in groups with fewer than 100 members now show the exact time a user’s messages were read by each member.
Improved folder support on iOS
iOS users can mark all chats in a folder as read with one tap. Folders can be used to quickly find the right chat when forwarding messages. This improvement will also come to the Android app in one of the next updates.
New animated and interactive emojis
As usual, the new update introduces 10 new packs of custom emojis for premium Telegram users and new interactive versions of several existing emojis.
