Telegram have added custom notification sounds to their Android app 😍😍 I have longing for this feature since I started using Telegram maybe 5 years ago.
I really hope they have added the same feature to the desktop client because this feature is a very asked feature for a very long time! But it should because they add almost the same updates for all devices 😊
I recieve tons of notifications on Telegram daily. So much that I have been disturbed by it for some time now.
I have had no notification for Telegram in Linux, but notification sound and popup in Android. I really liked to have no notification in Linux. Have had internet off in my phone because I have been disturbed when my phone have called on my, so to speak.
So I disabled the notification sound in Telegram in Android yesterday, and so far, I really like it 😊😌
I introduced Telegram's potential to a friend earlier this evening where you can create a channel and then invite people and make them admins.
That way, they can create messages (read: posts), let others react to them and/or comment them. They can also react on the comments.
See this feature as Facebook's feed, but with much better security and privacy.
Hm. I think I will create such channel just for fun and then invite my family, friends, and contacts to it. We'll see.
Telegram just got updated with more privacy settings and also security settings. Go Telegram!

Telegram will get reactions!! 😍 About time! And it looks bloody awesome, too! 😍
1. There will be no ads in chats on Telegram. If you use Telegram as the messenger that we launched in 2013 – you will never see a sponsored message. Sponsored messages can't appear in your chat list, private chats or groups.
2. User data will not be used to target ads. As with everything we do, our main priority is protecting the private data of our users. That's why unlike other apps we will not use your private data to display ads.

Telegram just released yet another awesome update! Screensharing in 1-on-1 calls, playback speed in videos, group video calls for up to 1000 people + more 😍😍
I really love the music payer in Telegram! But the same feature in their app have more features than in Telegram Desktop.
Telegram has released their new Group video calls feature + more (sorry for the screenshots in Swedish). You can also share your phone's screen while sharing your video!
I must say, this update got me extremely happy and chocked in a positive way! 😍😍 Darn it! I love Telegram even more now! 🤩
And Telegram just got even better! 😍 ❤️

I totally love the improved video player, the new pinch to zoom feature, and the mini profiles for group voice calls. You can read about them (and also see a demo GIF/video) in the blog post I linked to.
I also really love the new Telegram Web; Web K and Web Z. The only difference that I've noticed on desktop, are the graphical aspects. Web K are more compact than Web Z. Again, what I have seen so far.
Now when Telegram have a broadcasting feature just like Clubhouse (and with recording‼️), I truly hope that Telegram will lift the mandantory phone number registration and allow people to invite others outside Telegram to voice calls only.

Pavel's own words on the 3 most common myths about Telegram.
As for encryption, I have encounted people on mainly reddit that states that Telegram stores everything in plaintext. This is false! Cloud chats do use MTProto 2.0 which is the exactly the same encryption method as for secret chats! The only difference between them is that cloud chats are stored on their servers.
