In a significant update, Telegram has rolled out an AI-powered text editor designed to enhance user interactions. This feature allows users to refine and modify messages directly while typing, making communication smoother and more effective.
The AI text editor boasts capabilities such as fixing grammar, rewriting text in various styles, and translating messages into different languages. This innovation aims to elevate the quality of conversations on the platform, catering to a global audience.
Alongside the text editor, Telegram has expanded its poll features. Users can now attach media, add descriptions, and suggest new responses, enhancing engagement in group chats. Notably, the update allows users to see voter identities, providing transparency in polling.
Additional enhancements include the ability to disable revoting, shuffle answer options, set time limits, and hide results until the poll concludes. These features are designed to give users more control over their polling experience.
Moreover, Telegram now supports iOS Live Photos and Android Motion Photos, allowing users to send animated images, adding a dynamic element to messaging. This aligns with the growing trend of visual communication in digital interactions.
The update also introduces a built-in document scanner for iOS, enabling users to scan documents, combine pages, and export them as PDFs. This feature is particularly useful for professionals and students who rely on document sharing.
In a move to enhance security, Telegram now displays warnings on profiles using third-party apps, indicating a potential risk for messages sent to such accounts. This step underscores the platform’s commitment to user safety.
The update is rolling out with Telegram version 12.6.0 or later, marking a significant leap in the app’s functionality and user experience. Initial reactions from users have been positive, with many praising the new features for their practicality and ease of use.
