Telegram rolls out new update with several new features – Times of India

Russia-based freemium messaging service Telegram Messenger is accessible across the globe. It competes with other rival platforms like WhatsApp and others. Just like other popular messaging apps, Telegram also keeps updating its messaging service with new features to improve user experience. The platform already supports important features like cross-platform connectivity, end-to-end encryption, video calling and cloud-based file storage and sharing. Now, the company has rolled out a new update that adds some important features to the messaging app. The latest update includes features like — translating entire chats, profile picture maker, emoji categories and more. Here are the details about the new features and how they will work:
Telegram new update: Translating entire chats
This feature will be available to Telegram premium users. With this feature, premium members can translate entire chats, groups and channels in real time. To translate entire chats, users have to tap the ‘Translate’ bar which will appear at the top of the screen. Telegram also allows non-premium users to translate messages. However, they have to translate individual messages by selecting them and tapping the “Translate” option.

The profile photo maker feature enables users to turn any sticker or animated emoji into a profile picture with these accounts. These profile pictures can then be used for their accounts, groups or channels. This feature is not restricted to Telegram premium users and is available to all users.

Telegram has also added the “Emoji Categories” feature to its app. This feature helps users by sorting stickers and emojis into different categories. Telegram supports more than a million different types of stickers and emojis. However, choosing the right one before sending one can be a hectic task for the users.
