A few minutes ago the new Telegram update has come out. An update that we receive with open arms, because it incorporates multiple improvements that make it one of the best messaging applications that we can currently find on the market.
The most important of the update have been the nicknames. Telegram has always been characterized by being a platform that defends privacy above all and that the difference with respect to other social networks. With this new functionality they show that they want to go that way.
This method consists of associate a nickname to our Telegram account so that other users can find us by that name, thus avoiding the need to share our phone number. To do this, we only have to go to Settings> Nickname and choose our name (the sooner we do it, the more possibilities we will have to choose the name we want). If we want to find another user by their nickname, we just have to go to Contacts and in the Search bar enter their name.
In addition to the nickname, it includes other improvements that are similar to some of the functions that Snapchat has, such as touch and hold an image to view it (when it has time to self-destruct) and notifications when they take a screenshot in a secret chat.
Another interesting novelty that we can find within the app, are the dynamic states. That is, when we are talking to another person, we will no longer be shown only the typical ones »en línea»Or»typing», But now They will also change when we are sending a photo, a voice note, a video or a file.
For all this and for many more things that it already had, we encourage you to install Telegram if you have not already done so. What's more, is optimized for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Since Facebook bought WhatsApp most of my contacts and all my groups we switched to Telegram and we are delighted, not only can I have it installed on my iPad and Mac but because we can send each other all kinds of files, sending pdf is a joy to exchange documents easily.
Not to mention the WhatsApp developers who are the most lazy in the entire app store, and it took them months to adapt the app for the iPhone 5 screens and they still haven't deigned to update it for the iPhone 6 and 6+, we They announced with great fanfare that they were going to incorporate voice calls before the summer, but they forgot to tell us what year, apart from the fact that privacy is now going to stand out due to its absence in the hands of Facebook.
Well, you should know that Telegram belongs to Russian Facebook and its privacy is equal to or worse than WhatsApp.
Luis, thank you very much for this article, and I really mean it. When I saw the update in the AppStore I thought that no blog would say something, but here you have.
Telegram is much better than WhatsApp, it receives updates much more frequently, it is much safer, free and it is always the first to adapt to news (iPhone 6, iOS 8 screen).
Almost all of my contacts that I talk to on a daily basis use it. Try it, I recommend it.
Greetings.
There is only one thing missing for 100% of the people I know to use telegram and that is to be able to hide the last hour connected, many people have not gone to him for that, something otherwise incomprehensible, more taking into account privacy of which it boasts.
And also that the size of the letter can be increased when we write a message
Why eliminated Telegram HD?
The truth is that I have not yet made the leap to telegram, especially because of my contacts that most do not have it. If it were up to me I would always use it. I COULD ALREADY LEARN WHATSAPP,
@miki telegram HD has been removed from the App Store because Telegram is now a universal app, that is, it is adapted for both iPhone and iPad
