Telegram is updated with important features and a way to meet people

by

While WhatsApp has fought long and hard to include something as minimal as the dark mode (it has taken several years), Telegram is updated almost every month with important news and improvements in its application, as well as with new features. In this post, we tell you all the news of the last update that is focused on Valentine’s Day.

Redesigned Profile Pages

With this new update, within the profiles of our contacts, we can have direct access to the multimedia files that we have shared with them, both videos and photos. In addition, everything moves more fluidly and intuitively. With gestures, we can make lot of actions like expanding the profile image of the account just by sliding down within the profile of our contact.

Telegram introduces People Nearby 2.0

For a few months, the application allowed us to search for groups of people related to our current location. It could be a group from our city, with a social theme or simply from a community of neighbors. Telegram has updated this function “becoming” an application to meet people. We can make our profile visible to anyone and find new users of the application from the section “Contacts <Add people nearby”. This has also been designed to meet new people. Yes, as if it were Tinder (more or less).

New animated emojis

This last function is not the only one related to Valentine’s day. Telegram has added new animated emojis, all of them related to love in one way or another.

If we send each of these emojis separately, we will see how the application shows a new animation for each of them.

It is not a huge update for this service, but it does present a very curious new function, which can be used to meet new people and improve the management of our contacts profiles within the app.
