Telegram announces something new to compete with WhatsApp

Since the announcement of the change in terms of use on Whatsapp, Telegram has seen its number of users explode. Private messaging has become, in a few weeks, one of the most visited in the world, with nearly 500 million users today. A new popularity which is apparently not satisfied with the developers of the application who announce the arrival of new features. This article will introduce you to some of them.

New features are coming to the app

Faced with the popularity acquired, following the departure of Whatsapp users, Telegram developers have seen new responsibilities arise and have introduced new features to their application. Indeed, the private messaging now makes it possible to import conversations from Whatsapp and other applications. This transfer of discussions is possible both for individual exchanges and for those between several correspondents (discussion groups) whether you are an Android, desktop or iOS user. You will need to access the discussion information and choose “export discussion” then select Telegram. In its latest update, the application makes auto-deletion of messages available for more discretion and security. Users will be able to erase all traces of conversations after 24 hours or 7 days.

Telegram brings itself to the level of competing applications

A little surprised by the influx of new users, Telegram was able to brilliantly resolve the bugs related to the transmission of membership codes. Today, the app announces the addition of new features similar to those of its Signal and Discord counterparts, to convince more people to use it. Thus, apart from the possibility of self-destruction of its messages, users will also be able to group their conversations on the screen of their smartphones thanks to Widgets. Also, the number of participants in the discussion groups is revised upwards and these groups will now function as “dissemination groups”. Finally, ephemeral invitation links can also be shared. Finally, one might wonder how importing history from Whatsapp is possible if Telegram claims to be more respectful of user privacy than Facebook?
