Telegram now allows you to show animated GIFs in chats
The messaging application that has been attracting the most attention in recent months continues on its way step by step. And it is that Telegram is no longer only praised for its security, privacy and powerful functions compared to WhatsApp , but it is also demonstrating its concern to be up-to-date and offer its users all kinds of comforts, functions and issues Something that can help in their escalation of popularity but that, undoubtedly, is a point in favor for its own users.
Thus, it releases a new update for the Android platform, where it seems to be more prolific. At least for the last few weeks, as it continues to add new features such as voice notes, support for smart watches or languages to accommodate the application to all users. This time it is a minor update in comparison, with new features that improve and facilitate its use but without presenting truly groundbreaking or surprising issues.
This is the case of sending GIF files, the strong point of this update. These are animated image files, which have several frames inside to show the sensation of movement, as if it were a video. A format that has given a lot of play on the Internet, especially in the humorous field, and which is now reproduced through conversations or chats also on AndroidIn this way it is not necessary to download the images and reproduce them in the gallery, being able to enjoy their movement directly at a good size in the same chat. A function that, however, we have not been able to verify in our tests despite the update.
Along with this, this update has also introduced a solution to a problem that low-range terminals were suffering at the time of share photos or establish a image as profile picture And it is that mobile phones with a reduced RAM memory could block or prevent sending photos, or even when customizing the user's profile with an image. Something that should no longer be a problem for any Telegram user on the Android platform, have of the smartphone that you have.
Finally, we have added the possibility of applying localization or translation to the application by sending a document with the texts and codes for it. Simply access the web page where Telegram offers the different translations and send the chosen file depending on the language as if it were a standard document. Something that can make things easier for users who do not speak English if they do not already have a version of Telegramlocalized to your language.
In short, a minor update that continues to take steps to become a complete and satisfactory messaging tool for all kinds of users. Another question is whether it will finally manage to wrest the throne from WhatsApp or at least position itself as a strong alternative. At the moment it is already possible to download the new version of Telegram for Android throughGoogle Play fully free
