Hyper-Speed Scrolling for Shared Media

Every chat has a shared Media page that shows all the photos, videos, files and music sent. Telegram has added a new date bar on the side of the page, which you can drag up and down to scroll through shared media faster.

Calendar View for Shared Media

To quickly find media from a specific time on the Telegram app, tap on the date bar to open a calendar interface with media previews for each day then tap to see all the media from that date.

Users can now also filter the shared media to view only photos. videos or both.

Join Requests for Groups and Channels

Invite links gives the users the option of joining a group or channel in their own time. Telegram says, “whether you share the link privately or turn it into a QR code on a billboard is up to you. When you create additional invite links for your chat, there is now a Request Admin Approval setting, which gives admins more control over who is able to join and see the chat.”

Unique Names for Invite Links

In the ‘Additional Invite Links’ section admin approval can be applied to any link.
