The most used messaging application in the world, WhatsApp does not seem to have much interest in improving the operation of its platform by adding new functions or improving some of the present ones. Most of the updates that it releases periodically do not offer us any kind of news. Quite the opposite happens with Telegram.
Telegram has us badly accustomed, since practically every month, it adds new functions that were not available or improving some of those that were already available on the platform. The main novelty offered by this new update is the possibility of create groups of up to 200.000 members. Yes, 200.000.
If you felt alone in a group with 30.000 members, the previous limit when creating groups, with this new limit, you will feel twice as lonely. As the years have passed, Telegram has been expanding the number of members of the groups that it allows to create. When this platform was officially launched, the limit was set at 10.000. In 2017, this number was increased to 30.000 and later to 100.000. Now there are 200.000.
As the number of members of the groups has increased, Pavel Durov's boys have had to increase the number of functions available through these. This latest update allows us to restrict the type of content that can be published in the group. In addition, we can set administrators with specific permissions and activate or deactivate the chat history so that new members cannot access all previously published content.
Another novelty, we find it in the option of undo the deletion of chats or history, an option that is only available for 5 seconds after deletion. New animations have also been added when uploading and downloading media content and loading speed for media preview has been improved.
