I couldn't really tell the difference in the animations. Telegram's blog article mentions that there have been some minor improvements to animations such as swipe left to reply, a pulsing placeholder which appears like a blank message when the app loads the chats. When you change the size of the text from the Chat settings (Message Text Size slider) in the Android app, it also resizes the text size for link previews, reply bubbles, etc. It actually looks quite similar in the Android app. I tried this on an iPhone, and noticed that the colors appear slightly darker both for the background wallpaper, and the chat bubbles, which makes it a bit easier on the eyes. The above screenshot looks way too brighter than it actually is. The colors are balanced, and scrolling down a chat has a better blurring effect. The Dark themes in Telegram's iOS app have been updated. Telegram is planning to add some features for smaller groups later this year. The feature is only available for large groups, to be precise, groups that have over 200 members. Telegram Topics have their own shared media, notifications, and also support pinned messages, polls and bots. These function like individual chats, and based on the video demo, it almost looks like old-school chat rooms. Members of the group can participate in the topics that they like.

This feature allows users to discuss things as a subgroup, without disturbing the others in the group.Īdmins can enable Topics from the Groups settings, and control who is allowed to create subjects for discussion. The instant messaging service is introducing Topics in Groups.
