Instant messaging application Telegram is growing day by day. The frequent use of social media is because the features of the applications attract users. On top of that, the apps update frequently to create a better experience for their users. Updates not only improve usability, but also increase in-app interaction.
The occasional crash of the most popular messaging platform WhatsApp drives its users away. In this case, people turn to Telegram in a short time. This is one of the reasons for the increase in the number of users of the application. So much so that Telegram surpassed 1 billion downloads in 2021 and took its place among the most downloaded applications. The social media giant will offer a better space to its users with the update on top of that. So what are these features? Let’s take a look together.
Telegram Video Tags feature
Telegram introduced Video Stickers feature for its users to make chats more lively and fun. Thanks to the Video Tags feature, users will be able to turn normal videos into stickers. Actually, this feature existed before, but it required support from programs such as Adobe Illustrator to use it.
Thanks to the new update, there will be no need to get support from other programs. To convert videos into stickers, it will be enough to add them to Telegram. In addition, users will be able to publish sticker packs from the Stickers section and download other people’s packs.
New Reactions and Animated Emojis feature
Telegram has added five reaction emojis for its users. Press and hold before sending these reactions and they will move to cover the whole screen. Telegram’s new reaction feature is also available in the Instagram Direct Message section.
Applications that perform similar functions have recently started to gain features from each other. This allows applications to be similar to each other and to create a better experience for their users. As a result, competition between social media platforms is increasing.
Enhanced Navigation feature
Enhanced Navigation is a feature that has been brought over to messaging again. However, this function is not to make messages fun, but to provide a more practical use. While messaging on Telegram, users will embed their chat box in the Back button to open a list of people they’ve talked to recently. In this way, they will establish a faster communication with the people they talk to frequently.
Apart from these messaging features, calls have also improved with the latest update of the application. What do you, our readers, think about the new features of Telegram? You can comment your thoughts or let us know in the SDN Forum section.
