Instant Messenger App, Telegram has launched a slew of new features for its users including in-app Video Editor, two-step verification, animated stickers, speaking GIFs and more. The new video enhancement feature will allow users to tweak videos in two taps. It claims to adjust different parameters like saturation, brightness, etc. with a zoom-in option while drawing. 

The users can now also add Animated stickers to photos and videos while editing which can later turn into GIFs, as well. The app has also added new speaking GIFs for user chat experience enhancement.

Telegram, which takes a lot of pride in offering a secure experience to its users, has also added a Two-step verification on the platform. The feature can be enabled by clicking on the Privacy and Security option. Users need to set-up a new password by entering it twice followed by a password hint. 

This feature would be responsible to protect the app data and securing accounts from cloning in future. Now onward if this Two-step authentication password is enabled on a given account, anyone trying to log-in from a new device that person needs to know the password, along with the OTP.

The platform has also introduced a new Cache memory management tool directly to clean-up the storage as per the user requirement. Users need to go to the settings > Data and Storage > Storage usage to see how much storage is used by the files from Telegram divided into segments like Photos, Documents, Music, Voice/ Video messages, Animated stickers and other files. 

They can also select on a scale from when they want to keep their previous data ranging from 3 days to forever. This will only delete unassessed files which can also be re-downloaded later from the Telegram cloud. A user can also clear the local data base where texts of cached messages will be compressed to save space on the internal disk.

Flexible chat management folders, and a couple of new functional animations have been re-introduced for smooth and better user experience.
