Telegram introduces functions for setting sounds and notification timers

TELEGRAM has released an update that allows users to create notification sounds, set timers to turn off notifications and automatically delete messages, forward replies with the original message preserved, and develop and use next-generation bots. This is stated on the website of the messenger.

Users will be able to choose the sound of notifications for both personal correspondence and group chats. The sounds are available in the Telegram library and are free for all users. In addition, now users will be able to turn off notifications for any period. Previously, they could only do this for eight hours or two days.

There was a function of automatic deletion of chats. Users can set time limits for chats to automatically disappear - 2 days, 3 weeks, 4 months, and so on. Updates have also appeared in the chats themselves - now users will be able to send replies to messages along with the source code. “You don’t have to explain the joke if you immediately add context,” they say in the messenger. The messages themselves can now be translated into other languages ​​right inside the app.

New updates also affected the work of Telegram bots. “Bots have already learned how to support logging into third-party services using Telegram and processing payments made through 15 built-in payment services (with support for GOOGLE Pay and APPLE Pay), collect feedback, send personal notifications to users and help in many other ways,” the company said. . A new bot can be created using Java Script. The work of bots in chats can be configured.

The previous app update happened on February 1st. Then the ability to send video stickers, leave reactions to messages became available to users.
