The Telegram team has introduced an update for the messenger that adds many useful features.
Video calls
Video calls have finally appeared in Telegram, but not yetonly in test mode on iOS devices. The official blog doesn't say a word about this, apparently because this is an experimental innovation. In order for you to be able to make video calls, you need to do some manipulations:
- First of all, update the App Store application to version 6.3
- open the debug menu by clicking on the settings icon in the application 10 times
- After that, in the debug menu, enable the Experimental Feature function.
- As a result, we get a “Video call” icon in our profile
But there is an important BUT! The interlocutor you want to call must do the same manipulations, otherwise you will not be able to communicate via video call.
What else
Now let's move on to the official innovations. Firstly, these are video avatars, that is, a video instead of a static photo in your profile. Chats will display the frame you choose.
For this occasion, the messenger has been improvedand the “People nearby” section. Now, when someone contacts you through this section, you will see how far away the interlocutor is from you. If you are the initiator of the chat, Telegram will offer a welcome sticker with which it is convenient to start a conversation. To activate your location, go to the Contacts section > Find people nearby and click ‘Show me here’.
