At the last developer conference for both Facebook and Google, both internet giants, stated that they wanted improve user privacy, in a movement clearly oriented towards wash the image that many users currently have of both platforms. But of course, it was an announcement, over time we will see if they are finally put into practice.
Meanwhile, Telegram, one of the messaging applications that since its launch has always been committed to user privacy, has just launched a new update, an update that focuses on adding new functions to improve the privacy it offers us, but not only at the individual level but also in groups.
What's new in the latest Telegram update for iOS
- Now we can choose who can see our phone number, thus limiting access to our phone number to the people we can contact through the different Telegram groups.
- Within group chats, we can add exceptions "Share" / "Do not share", settings that will work when new users are added, but not for those already within the group.
- If we send a document in PDF format through Telegram, a thumbnail will be displayed of the same to be able to visualize it quickly.
- Another novelty, we find it in the possibility of adding the monospaced format and text with links to your messages.
- From the web, we can access any public chat from the web even though we don't have an account.
- The latest novelty is found in the possibility of integrate bots with web services. On the web t.me/DiscussThis/1 we can find more details of the bots and compatible web services.
- One of the virtues that have always made Telegram so special is that unlike Facebook, Google, Twitter and others ... the configuration options that defend user privacy are activated by default, so, unless we want to change them, we do not have to go into the Telegram configuration options to be able to activate them.
