Multi platform messenger app Telegram said on Thursday it has launched bundled new features for users in its latest update. Features like search filters, channel comments, anonymous group admins, and a few more will now be available to the users, the platform said.
Telegram said focused on enabling the group and channel admins to make their forums interactive’ and ‘safer’ than before, these features will help in easily managing shared content.
The feature Search Filter introduced on the platform for users to search specific messages shared from the past has been categorized into six different tabs. These include Chats, Media, Links, Files, Music and Voice Messages. Telegram said users can now search for any specific message in regards to a particular time period, a person, a group, a channel, or a bot and the app will add a filter by source of the message.
In the current update, Telegram has also launched a new feature called Channel Comments by adding a comment button to posts on channels with discussion groups. Telegram said the comments can be limited by the admins.
This feature can only be applicable to the channels where a separate discussion group is linked within the channel. Users are re-directed to a separate group where they can see and reply to the comments made by their fellow members.
Telegram has also included a feature called Anonymous Group Admins. This feature could turn any admin’s identity anonymous in a group and all the messages sent by the admins on the group will be reflected in the name of the group itself. This feature is already applicable to Telegram Channels, and now available to the groups as well.
A few animated pop-ups have been added for android users where they can see new animation while deleting messages, saving media, or changing notifications. Telegram has added more animated emojis on their platform for users to share among their contacts.
