Telegram has just released a new update that brings some nice additions to the app. One of them is the ability to create your own notification sounds, which means you can choose literally any sound to play when you receive a message – should you ever unmute your iPhone. Here’s everything new.
Custom notification sounds work exactly the way you think. You can create your own alert from your favorite music or even memes. You just need to click on a short audio file or a voice message in a chat to instantly add it to your list of notification sounds.
Telegram tones are cross-platform and free. It currently supports audio files and voice messages less than five seconds in size and up to 300 KB in size.
Another great addition coming to Telegram is the ability to customize how long the mute lasts. Whereas previously users could only take a break for eight hours or two days, now they can pause notifications for a specific amount of time, while sleeping or taking an extended vacation.
Telegram users now need fewer taps to enable auto-delete in a chat, and can now see a small preview of the message being replied to as it is forwarded.
There are also some other features, but another one that is important to highlight is bots. Telegram claims to be revolutionizing bots. The company explains what’s so important about the update:
Today, we’re adding a whole new dimension by giving bot developers the tools to create infinitely flexible interfaces with JavaScript, one of the world’s most popular programming languages. At the same time, Telegram bots can completely replace any website.
