Telegram now allows you to archive your chats on Android and iPhone

Have you already come across a Telegram update on your Android or iPhone mobile? Well, if not, check it out to have new and interesting functions. And it is that the messaging application launches useful features to keep everything tidy, as is the case of the chat archive. Or a new look that is more attractive and practical for users of the Android platform. Here we tell you.

A complete chat archiver

Although the function is already recognizable thanks to WhatsApp, Telegram has actually made an effort to give this concept a twist. The file, in this case, consists of a place to store those conversations that only take up space on the main Telegram chat screen. To send a conversation there, all you have to do is slide your finger over it from right to left With this, the archive symbol appears, and the chat ends in the archive.

The file is displayed as one more conversation in the header of the chat screen. Thus, all you have to do is click on it to access it and review all the conversations that you wanted to move away from the main view Of course, each time one of those archived conversations receives a new message is returned to the main screen with its respective notification of unread.Of course, if we mute or silence these archived conversations, they will not leave the archive when receiving a new message.

Another interesting feature of this file is that we can remove it from view as well. If we make the same gesture of sliding it to the left, instead of occupying the first place on the chat screen it will be right at the end.

By the way, you can pin archive chats to keep conversations in the order you want. Even when you receive new messages and conversations move to the main screen, once they are archived again they will return to the order created

New design for Android mobiles

Now Telegram users on Android have resources to perform actions more quickly. Sort chats, pin them, delete them… It's all just a long press screen away.By doing so, the chats are marked with an icon that allows you to reorder them by simply swiping from the icon. In addition, all the extra functions appear at the top of the window: pin, delete, archive…

But not only that. Android mobile users also have a new icon for the application, adapted to the new times and style currents. There's also a notable redesign to the menus, which are simple, minimalist, and intuitive. But there is more, because these design changes also fall directly on usability, so that Telegram is more comfortable to use.

It is now possible to select multiple chat items and find a handy forwarding function directly in the bottom right corner of the screen. In addition, in the chat settings menu it is now possible to select to show three lines of each chat on the chat screen, instead of two.More information to know where you want to enter without breaking with the general aspect of Telegram.

More options for mass sharing

New sharing menu is swipeable. So you'll see not just a handful of contacts, but the entire collection of recent people with whom you can quickly share your photos and messages. Also, the comments section now supports Emoji emoticons. As if that weren't enough, this redesign also helps you share entire sticker collections.

What about iPhone?

On iPhone, Telegram users are now more secure when it comes to protecting their chats. Instead of a 4-digit code, it is now possible to protect with a 6-digit number.

The option to delete the record of recent stickers used has also been added, so that no one knows what you've recently sent in your chats . And, as for the Emoji emoticons, they are now larger.

Best forwarding

Finally, Telegram has improved the options for forwarding content. Thus, before launching a link, photo or message, you will see who is addressed to at the top. If you got confused, just click on this new indicator to reselect the recipients

In addition, to keep conversations clear, it is now possible to copy a link to a specific message in a conversation and send it privately Fair like you do in public conversations. Of course, only users belonging to the mentioned group or channel will be able to access the linked message.
