WhatsApp’s main competitor continues to add features at an impressive rate. In version 8.0 of Telegram, among others, live broadcasts without limits of viewers, improvements in the forwarding of messages, and prominent stickers are added.
When a platform stands out for its quality
Telegram version 8.0 arrives for further improve the experience of using the application. An experience that evolves in four key points: unlimited live streams, flexible forwarding, go to the next channel and better stickers.
- Unlimited Live Streams: Now we can broadcast video and share our screen with an unlimited number of viewers. Just touch Video chat within a group or Live stream within a channel of which we are administrators so that everyone can see us, without leaving anyone out.
- More flexible message forwarding: Now when touching Resend message we may preview or change how messages will be sent. We can hide or show the original sender name, delete or keep comments on multimedia messages, and select or remove messages to decide exactly which ones will be forwarded.
- Go to the next channel: Telegram channels are becoming an excellent place to enjoy news. With that in mind now when we get to the end of a channel we can swipe up to go to the next channel with unread posts.
- Improved stickers: Stickers also get attention in this update. Now we can see a section of featured stickers within Recent. We can also more easily locate our sticker packs, since the enlarged thumbnails will be displayed on the top bar for more convenience. Finally, when our interlocutor is looking for a sticker to send us, we will see “Choosing a sticker”.
Among the somewhat more discreet improvements we find a counter for unread comments for the channels that have them activated as well as new animated emoji. It is clear that Telegram’s approach is to offer more and better features than other services. An excellent way to differentiate yourself through quality.
