Telegram Messenger Updated With Hidden Media, Zero Storage Usage, More

The Telegram Messenger app has been updated with several new features including hidden media, zero storage usage, new drawing tools, profile pictures for your contacts, and more.

Nobody will miss 2022, but this update offers some pleasant reasons to remember it: media with spoiler effects, new ways to save space on your device, new drawing tools, suggested profile pictures, and more.

What's New In This Version:
Hidden Media
• Media with spoiler effects. You can wrap photos and videos you send in a fuzzy cover by selecting media in the attachment menu and tapping (⋯) > Hide With Spoiler.





Zero Storage Usage
• Auto-remove cached media. You can choose how long cached media is kept in Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – and add exceptions for specific chats.

• Removing media by type. Separate tabs with Media, Files, and Music from all chats let you quickly clear the largest files.

• Pie charts. The new design helps you see what's taking up space.


• Dwarves with calculators. Cache size is now calculated a lot faster.

• Reminder: All cached media you remove remains accessible in the cloud and can be re-downloaded if needed.




New Drawing and Text Tools
• Fully redesigned media editor. You can quickly switch between brushes and use the new blur tool.

• Line smoothing. Drawing tools dynamically change width based on drawing speed and automatically smooth your lines.

• New text tools. You can change the size, font, and background of any text you add to photos and videos. The text tool now also supports animated emoji.

• New color selection. You can choose colors using 5 new tools – including the Eyedropper.

• New gestures. Hold to fill the canvas with color – or to erase everything.

• Preset shapes. You can quickly add shapes like circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles.




Profile Pictures for Your Contacts
• Setting pictures for your contacts. You can choose your own picture for a contact – only you will see it on their profile.

• Suggested profile pictures. When editing your contacts, you can suggest a photo for their profile. It will take them just two taps to add the picture you suggested.

• Public profile pictures. If you only allow certain users to see your profile photos, you can set a public picture for everyone else.

• Ultimate profile picture privacy. You can set 'Who can see my profile photos' to 'Nobody' and add some users or groups as exceptions.




Hiding Members in Large Groups
• Member list privacy. Owners of large groups can hide the list of members.
