Profile Videos

You can now upload a video to your profile – and choose any frame you like for your static profile picture in chats. This allows you to capture yourself in action and put in your profile page.

People Nearby

When people contact you via the People Nearby section, you will see how far away they are. And when you start a chat with someone nearby, Telegram will suggest a greeting sticker to break the ice.

Mini-thumbnails

Ever wondered whether the incoming picture is just another meme or that selfie you've been waiting for? Get an idea of what media is in a message right away thanks to the new chat list thumbnails.

Filter New Chats from Non-Contacts

If you're getting too many messages from non-contacts, try the new switch in Privacy & Security settings to automatically archive and mute new chats from people not in your contacts. You can access these chats anytime from the Archive folder and bring them back to the main chat list in a tap.

Channel statistics

Channel statistics are now available for channels with 500 subscribers or more, and also for groups with 500 members or more. Soon, this will be available for groups with 100 members.

More Animated Emoji

If you are using animated emoji, you will be happy to learn that more of them have been added with this update.
