The messaging app that boasts security, gets even a little more secure. We are talking about Telegram, which receives a new update for Android and iPhone. This is version 4.6, with which you can enjoy encryption or security that extends to more aspects within the application. Or to configure in more detail the auto-download of photos and videos. We tell you everything in detail below.
More security
Telegram now has full support for the MTProto 2.0 protocol. It is an evolution of the security system that it already had. However, evolution has allowed some advances in terms of end-to-end or user-to-user encryption That is, the entire chain of sending a message is secured against information theft.
However, what's interesting about all this is that security now offers features like albums in secret chats A good way to keep safekeeping all the photos of those private conversations, without fear of theft or without having to self-destruct them after sending them.

Detailed AutoDownload
To date, as in WhatsApp, self-downloading allowed us to manage whether we wanted to have photos, audios, and videos in the terminal's gallery each time we received it. More convenient so as not to waste time, but not as efficient with the data of our Internet rate. Now, in version 4.6, things are much more specific to specify what type of content we want to always have on hand.
Just go through the settings and, in the data and storage section, enter any of the Auto-download multimedia sections. This way we can choose which contents, from which channels we want to auto-download according to the connection available at any given moment.
More previews
The presence of previews of content such as Twitter and Instagram has also been improvedIf these posts shared in a message have multiple photos, they are all displayed in album format. Something really comfortable to view all the contents without problems.
Fast answer
Reply to a specific message no longer requires a long press. Just swipe a message to the left and compose. Of course, at the moment this function is only available for iPhone.
HTML Widget
There is now an embeddable widget to display messages from channels and public groups. That is, thanks to this window, it is possible to see the t.me links of messages in channels and Telegram groups in web browsers Just copy and paste the link to that message.
P2P Calls
Also exclusively for iPhone, it is possible to choose the level of privacy of calls through Telegram. From the Security menu, within settings, it is possible to specify that P2P calls (peer 2 peer or user to user) be carried out with all contacts , only with the chosen ones or with none.
More startup speed
Like any self-respecting update, there are also general improvements to the application. These result in a more fluid and agile use of the application In other words, the application starts with less waiting time. And the same when moving through the different conversations and groups. Everything should be more fluid and comfortable. Although it is something that also depends on the terminal of each user.
In the case of users with iPhone and iOS 6, you should know that different errors have been fixed.Specifically one that caused the application to crash. Therefore, you should not only enjoy a smooth and comfortable experience, but also no crashes or errors.
