Messaging services are constantly changing. While WhatsApp tries to convince its users to accept Facebook's privacy terms, Telegram tries to capture the attention of those users in thousands of possible ways. The constant Telegram updates and new functions such as the possibility of migrating WhatsApp chats make the application see an escape route from an obligation by Facebook that many do not share. The new version 7.5 of Telegram includes very interesting news: auto-deletion of messages in all chats, links to groups with QR, expirable invitation links and much more that we analyze below.
Small but bully: this is the new Telegram update
This update brings a self-delete timer for messages in any chat, as well as new flexible invite links and faster access to your chats with home screen widgets. Also, groups can now have an unlimited number of members.
One of the first novelties is the integration of messages that self-destruct. This type of message was already available in private chats. However, Telegram has wanted to take it to the rest of the conversations. They can self-remove in 24 hours or 7 days after it is shipped. Because according to the app, "some conversations are not meant to last forever."
Also included new ways and tools to share invitation links to groups, broadcasts or channels. Now we can create custom links that work for a limited time and can be used by a specified number of people. In addition, we can download a QR code to convert that invitation link into an easier way to access it.
In addition, they have integrated new widgets for iOS 14 that can be added quickly from the home screen of our iPhone. Finally, now groups can have unlimited members. We can convert the groups that are in the limit of allowed users into unlimited broadcast groups.
