Telegram adds in-app translation, feedback and spoiler text. Know how it works

reactions

Double-tap a message to send a quick response. For more responses, tap the message once (or press and hold if on iOS). Each reaction appears with its own unique animation. You can change your default reaction to any other emoji by going to Settings. Android: Chat Settings > Quick Response. iOS: Stickers & Emoji > Quick Response.

In groups and channels, admins decide whether or not to turn on reactions and choose which reaction emojis are available in chat. Admins can control reactions through their group or channel’s Info page > Edit > Reactions.

fail

Select any part of your text as you type and choose the new ‘spoiler’ formatting. This will hide the selected part of the message in the chat, as well as in the chat list and notifications.

When you’re ready to see what’s hidden, tap the spoiler to reveal its text.

message translation

Now you can translate any message into another language, directly in the app. Enabling Translate in Settings > Language adds a dedicated translate button to the context menu when selecting a message. You can also exclude any languages ​​you’re fluent in – which will hide the translate button for those messages.

Translate is available on all Android devices that support Telegram, but requires iOS 15+ on Apple devices. The list of available languages ​​depends on your phone’s operating system.

themed qr code

You can generate QR code for any user with public username. It also works for groups, channels, and bots, making it easy to show anyone your favorite blog or fan club. Tap the new QR code icon next to a person’s username (or from the chat’s info page), choose the most appropriate color and pattern, then print, post, or share your QR code with other apps. A QR code for your own username can be obtained in Settings.
