Telegram was updated a couple of days ago, although we normally share all the news that arrives with the new version of the application, this time we have decided to go for a change and we are going to see the 7 most interesting news that have arrived on Telegram in the last weeks.
Descriptions above multimedia
Descriptions above multimedia
Telegram has changed the position of the descriptions when sending images. Now, the text that accompanies the photographs you send can stand in the upper area. Of course, Telegram will continue to allow this text to be integrated at the bottom of the image.
On an aesthetic level, the change means that the images that are sent have a context as soon as they are seen and what the user who sent them can identify at a first glance. No more waiting for the end of a list of images to see the text.
Quick actions for phone numbers
Quick Actions for Phone Numbers
Now, when sending phone numbers within Telegram, what will happen is that the application will display a new redesigned menu to offer options. What the application will offer when receiving a number are the following actions:
- Add contact
- Send Message
- Telegram voice call
- Telegram video call
- Call via operator
- Copy the number
Search by hashtag
New search by hashtag
It is really strange that, until now, Telegram has not allowed the hashtag search. Channels and user groups often use these elements to identify important content or messages.
Telegram allowed users to use these elements in their private chats, but with this new update hashtag search has become global. This means that when searching for one of these elements, all similar hashtags from the public channels of which you are a part are displayed.
Effects on messages
This may be one of the most visual features that Telegram has released with this update. Now messages in individual conversations will have a wide range of effects that play when the recipient opens the conversation.
These effects can be added to any message, both text messages and videos recorded with Telegram. Conventional users have 6 free effectswhile those with a premium subscription enjoy more than a hundred effects.
Collapsible quotes

Finally, Telegram launches a new way of quoting when sending messages. The application will now allow hierarchical and collapsible structures to be generated within the messages, this new way of understanding the messages will allow them to have a smaller size within the conversations.
Users will now be able to hide text within these messages, leaving at the beginning what they want other users to read. It may not be one of the flashiest features, but it helps keep messages from taking up a huge amount of space in conversations.
