Telegram has introduced some new features to enhance user experience. The new features include custom notification sounds, custom mute duration, new auto-delete menu , web integration for BOTs, replies in forwarded messages, and more.
Custom Notification Sounds
You can now create your own notification tones from your favourite music and even memes. All you have to do is tap a short audio file or voice message in chat to instantly add it to your list of notification sounds, which you can assign to any chats.
The tones are cross-platform and completely free. The tones currently support audio files and voice messages under 5 seconds up to 300 KB in size.
Custom Mute Duration
Hitherto Telegram users have been able to temporarily mute chats to take a break from notifications, like for 8 hours or 2 days. Now you can also pause notifications for a specific duration, like the length of a midday nap or extended vacation.
Each chat has a streamlined menu for modifying alerts – choose Disable Sound to receive notifications silently, or one of the Mute options to turn off notifications completely.
Auto-delete menu
You can now enable Auto-Delete in any chat to make a conversation more confidential or less cluttered. Now it takes fewer taps to enable and supports flexible timer settings – like 2 days, 3 weeks, 4 months, and more.
Bot Revolution
Telegram is giving bot developers the tools to create infinitely flexible interfaces with JavaScript, one of the most popular programming languages in the world. With this, Telegram bots can completely replace any website.
