Also, Telegram has also rolled out more formatting options for media captions and a redesigned Contact Info page on iOS. With its latest update, the messaging application is letting users delete their old messages based on date. You can either choose to clear their chat history from a specific date or a date range in their one-on-one chats.

The users can choose the date range by tapping the date bar that will pop up as they scroll through the chat and then choosing which days to clear. With the Telegram 8.3 update, the messaging app is bringing a new button that will enable users to link a desktop and log out of all inactive devices automatically.

Users can tap any device in the list to get more information on it and toggle on or off to let it accept calls or new Secret Chats. Anonymous posting in public groups - This feature lets users post messages in public groups anonymously by masking an individual user as a channel.

Telegram rolled out global chat themes on iOS last month. With its latest update, it is bringing the same to its Android-based app. Telegram’s Android users will now have access to eight themes that the messaging app introduced back in September. They will be able to customise it further by tweaking the colours and patterns and picking day or night mode for the same.

Apple brought a text recognition feature on its iPhones with iOS 15. Now, Telegram is rolling out support for the same in its iOS-based app. The company today announced that Live Text is enabled for photos in Telegram chats. With this update, Telegram users will be able to select, copy and search text in an image easily. This feature is available for iPhones running on iOS 13 and above.
