New Telegram features
Below we will briefly summarize some of the new features and what they can offer messenger users. Check out:
Recommended Channels
This new functionality allows, in the search tab, the user to find a category called “Channels”, which in turn will indicate different channels based on similar topics that interest the user.
If you enter a channel, you can scroll up, which will move you to the next one.
My profile
Now you can go to the settings to find a tab called “My Profile”. With this option activated, you can see how your profile appears to other people on the social network, in addition to being able to quickly edit information to improve privacy.
You can also pin three stories to your profile for other users to see.
Birthday
The function, as the name suggests, allows you to enter your birthday so that all users who visit your profile know. When the day arrives and someone logs into your profile, they will be greeted with balloons and lots of confetti to celebrate.
