JAKARTA - Telegram has introduced a version 7.5.0 update for its messaging application users on Android and iOS phones. There are several new features presented, from the auto-delete message feature to new emojis.

Previously, this feature could only be used for Secret Chat. Currently this feature can be used to delete entire messages. Chats can be automatically deleted after 24 hours and 7 days. It depends on the user choosing which one.

"Unlike Secret Chat, the countdown of message deletion will start after the message is sent, not after it has been read," wrote Telegram through its official blog page, Friday, February 26.

The latest version of the Telegram application update will allow users to control widgets on the Home Screen for iOS and Android.

Widget

There are two widgets that can be used, namely Chat Widget and Shortcut Widget. This Chat Widget can display all chats, meanwhile the Shortcut Widget will only display the profile picture and username.

Group Invitation Link

This feature allows the user to set up invitations for a limited time. On the other hand, users can also change the group invitation link to a QR Code.

Broadcast Group

The group feature also got an update. For groups that have exceeded the number of members, the group can be changed to a "broadcast group". The "broadcast group" feature can have an unlimited number of members.

For the record, in this "broadcast group" only admins can send messages. That is, the members in this group cannot chat like a normal group.

Telegram can also move chats from other messaging applications. This feature allows users to move chats from other applications such as WhatsApp. So, users don't need to worry about deleting old chats in other applications.

Emoticon

Telegram has not only added new features to its app, the company has also added new emojis that are even more interesting. These new emojis will make chatting even more fun.
