Telegram has unveiled numerous new features for its app in its final release for 2022. Users may now further customise their experience with this instant messaging service by utilising features like hidden media, zero storage use, new drawing and text tools, contact profile pictures, etc.
On Friday, the additions were revealed on Telegram’s official blog. Details are as follows:
(1) Hidden media: You may now add a shimmering layer to images and videos to blur the image. One tap is all that is necessary to view the image. Along with spoiler formatting, which conceals text in messages, this capability also exists.

(2) No Storage Use: The app will use virtually no storage space on your smartphone. For this, you can at any moment delete files from your device’s storage and download them again from your Telegram cloud.
(3) New text and drawing tools: The existing robust media editor has undergone a complete revamp. Sensitive data will be redacted with a new blur tool. Users can also adjust the font, size, and backdrop of text, and they have access to five highly precise color selection options.
(4) Contact profile photo: You can select one of these for a contact while modifying their details, and only you will be able to view it on their profile. By touching twice, the other person can upload the picture to their profile.
(5) Public profile pictures: If a user permits it, only a select group of contacts can see their profile image. In this instance, the user may set a public image for everyone else.
(6) Mute Group Members: Admins of groups with more than 100 members now have the option to conceal the member list. Even if a participant doesn’t leave a note on the group, the admin will still be able to tell that person was present thanks to this.

(8) Emojis: As a bonus from Telegram creators, 10 packs of original animated emoji are available to Premium subscribers.
