The Telegram secure messaging app has been updated with video support, bot payments, and instant view.

What's New In This Version:
Version 4.0 brings three major updates in one:
1. Video messages and Telescope.
- Tap the mic icon to switch to camera mode, then tap and hold to record quick video messages.
- Swipe up while recording for hands free mode. Works with voice notes too! Stop and replay before sending.
- Introducing Telesco.pe, where anyone can view video messages from public channels — no Telegram account required.
2. Bot Payments.
- Bots can now accept payments from users.
- Soon you'll be able to order pizza, shop for clothes, or maybe pay your utility bills using Telegram bots.
- Bot payments support Apple Pay.
3. Instant View Platform.
- Instant View is ready to support thousands of websites, including your favorite ones.
- Anyone can create article previews with our new Instant View Editor.
- We're launching a $200,000 contest to help us enable Instant View for the (almost) entire web.
– Added themes for Instant View pages: read articles in a dark, grey, or sepia environment, choose font type and size, auto-nightmode supported.
- Long tap when viewing an Instant View page to quickly copy or share the selected paragraph with friends.
You can download Telegram Messenger from the App Store for free.
