Telegram, the popular messaging app, has released a new update that brings some new features and improvements to its users. The update, version 10.5.0, is available for both Android and iOS devices and can be downloaded from the respective app stores.
One of the most noticeable changes in the new update is the addition of new animations for deleting messages and switching accounts. When you delete a message, you will see a Thanos Snap effect that makes the message disappear in a cloud of dust. This is a reference to the Marvel villain Thanos, who wiped out half of the universe’s population with a snap of his fingers in the Avengers movies.
Another new animation is for switching accounts, which is useful for users who have multiple Telegram accounts. When you switch accounts, you will see a smooth transition that shows your profile picture and name sliding to the side and the other account appearing in its place. This makes it easier to identify which account you are using and switch between them quickly.
Revamped call screen with dynamic backgrounds
Another major feature in the new update is the revamped call screen, which has a new design and functionality. The call screen now dynamically changes the background according to the time of day and the weather in your location. For example, if you are calling someone at night, you will see a dark background with stars and moon, and if you are calling someone in a rainy day, you will see a background with raindrops and clouds.
The call screen also has new buttons and icons that make it easier to access the different options and features during a call. You can mute or unmute your microphone, switch to video call, enable speakerphone, or end the call with a single tap. You can also access the chat, share your screen, or add more participants to the call with a swipe up gesture.
Improvements to bots and playback speed
The new update also brings some improvements to the bots and the playback speed options in Telegram. Bots are third-party applications that run inside Telegram and offer various services and functions to the users. The update improves the performance and stability of the bots and adds new options for bot developers to customize their bots. For example, bot developers can now use custom keyboards, inline buttons, and media attachments to make their bots more interactive and engaging.
The playback speed options, which allow users to adjust the speed of audio and video messages, have also been improved in the new update. The update adds more playback speed options, such as 0.5x, 1.2x, 1.5x, and 2x, and makes them easier to access and change. You can now tap on the playback speed icon in the media player to switch between the different speeds, or long press on it to see all the available options.
How to get the new update
The new update, version 10.5.0, is rolling out gradually to all Telegram users on Android and iOS devices. You can check if the update is available for your device by going to the app store and looking for the Telegram app. If you see an update button, you can tap on it to download and install the new version. Alternatively, you can also download the latest version of the app from the official Telegram website or from the Telegram APKs channel.
