Telegram launches supergroups of 5,000 people
One of the messaging applications best known in the mobile world is debuting. We're talking about Telegram, which has updated its service to further improve its capabilities, albeit bordering on the ridiculous in some of them. And it is that the most secure messaging application of the moment has increased the number of users in mass conversations to reach 5,000 participants Something that didn't seem necessary, but it comes along with other improvements in this latest update.
To date, Telegram had stood out for its supergroups of 200 users , which later became up to 1,000 in the same conversation. Now the service allows multiplying this figure by 5 to maintain conversations (if possible) of up to 5,000 members , where to share messages, photos and any content on a regular basis However, it is possible that neither mentions nor labels are very useful in these conversations massive.
Along with this, these supergroups, massive or not, now allow administrators to inform the participants of something important thanks to the pinned messagesThey only have to mark a message as such so that it is anchored in the header of the group, recording a piece of information of interest to all users.This message, in addition to remaining at the top of the screen, arrives as a notification to all the participants, even those who have silenced the supergroup
In addition, these supergroups can now become a true open and public community This means being able to admit any new user who wants to , in addition to allowing it to be shared through a convenient link to reach more people. All you have to do is access the information of the group and copy said link to paste it anywhere later to make it known. However, this opening to the world can bring with it many problems such as the creators of spam or inappropriate content For this, the new version of Telegram has also worked on improving the moderation tools, allowing the deletion of all messages from a user, blocking them and also report it.Something that should keep trolling and malpractice users at bay
Finally, you have to understand that all these new features apply only to supergroups However, Telegram already allows administrators of groups or regular group chats to transform them into supergroups With this, it is possible to take advantage of these advantages as create public environments or pin messages in conversation places that were previously only for friends. Of course, only the administrator can perform this function. The good thing is that this authority is now clearly marked in group chats so that no one has any doubts about who is who is pulling the strings
In short, an update that is committed to large-scale mass communication. Something that seems not very useful to comment on, but quite interesting to spread.In any case, the new version of Telegram has already been released for all its platforms. In the case of mobile phones, it can be downloaded for Android through Google Play Store, or through App Store if you have a iPhone or iPad
