TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – In a post on a blog, a competitor app WhatsApp, Telegram, unveils a series of the latest features and updates it is making to its messaging app. Most significant is the so-called Group Video Calls 2.0.
Setelah peluncuran pada Juni lalu, fitur ini telah dikembangkan lagi untuk memungkinkan setiap panggilan video bisa ditonton sampai 1.000 orang. Jumlah maksimal peserta dalam panggilan telepon dan membagi layar serta audionya tak berubah, 30 orang. Tapi, Telegram bergurau kalau batas kemampuan fitur ini masih akan terus bertambah sampai, “seluruh manusia di Bumi bisa join ke sebuah group call.”
Pesan Video di Telegram juga sekarang diperbarui menjadi 2.0. Ini memberikan resolusi yang lebih tinggi, dan penggunanya dapat mengambil dan melihat setiap klip video yang datang dengan gambar yang lebih detil. Ketika pengguna merekam pesan videonya, Telegram mengatakan kalau audio dari perangkat bisa tetap diputar untuk memberi audio latar belakang seperti yang diinginkan.
“Jadi Anda kini dapat sambil bernyanyi lagu favorit atau memutar musiknya tanpa harus pause podcast Anda,” kata Telegram. Termasuk bisa melakukan zoom in ketika sedang merekam dengan kamera belakang.
Videos sent via Telegram can now also be watched at 0.5X, 1.5X, or 2.0X. On the Android operating system, 0.2X speed support is also available.
Telegram also allows 1-on-1 video calls sharing screen with voice, and there are intervals auto-delete new to delete messages after a month—Longer than the previous option which was for a week. Users can also now draw more precisely or in detail before sending them to friends or groups.
More animations will be available in passcode screens, and messages added to a chat will animate in a new way just like in Android apps. A new password reset option has also been added to the app settings that will help one user recover passwords in seven days if they don’t have a backup password restorer.
Lastly, there are a number of animated emojis including dancing emojis, greetings fist bump, broken heart, and sad face. The iOS app also gets integration with the camera app on iOS so users Telegram can switch to the zoom application or a wider camera when taking a photo directly in the application.
