The official Telegram on Telegram. Much recursion. Very Telegram. Wow.

Today's update brings features to add a little peace, quiet and customization to your chats.

Hold down the Send button to deliver messages with a silenced notification. Your recipient will still see the alert, but won't be woken up or interrupted.

Display your claim to fame with custom admin titles and make group traffic more manageable with Slow Mode. Admins choose how often each member must wait before sending their next message.

Send a single ❤️, 👍, 😒, 😳 or 🥳 and watch as new animated emoji come to life. Toggle looped playback for animated stickers to decrease the RPM of your favorite reactions.

Add timestamps like 0:45 to video captions and replies to automatically create links that play the video from that specific moment.

Android has a fully-redesigned attachment menu, boasting bigger thumbnails and easy gallery access.

iOS users can now set accent colors for night themes, or choose a color-rich Tinted Night theme.

Buckle up, and read more about all the new changes here:

Telegram is six years old! 🥳

To celebrate, we locked six people in a room and gave them six hours to write this encyclopedia of Telegram (it took 24).

The latest update brings scheduled messages, better themes and more privacy for those who need it most.

Holding down the send button now gives the option to schedule a message. Choose the date and time, and let Telegram take care of the delivery. Set a reminder for yourself by scheduling something in your Saved Messages.

Cloud Themes allow you to create a unique combination of theme, wallpaper and accent color to quickly share across platforms and update for all who use it.

Keeping your phone number confidential has become more universal with the new setting Who Can Find Me By My Number. This additional layer of privacy prevents even people who add your contact information to their device from being able to match your profile to your number.

Animated emoji were expanded to include 😁, 😧, 😡, 💩, 😢 and 😮.

The new Telegram update – our 12th this year – has arrived, just in time to say goodbye to 2019.

In this new version (and new decade) say hello to verifiable builds, theme editor 2.0, send when online and plenty more.

The code of Telegram apps has always been open source, but starting today, you can verify the apps you download use the exact same code as we post on GitHub.

New year, new you, new look – you can now add custom gradients to your backgrounds and messages, explore more predefined color schemes and add detail with some of the new background patterns.

Scheduled Messages have a new option – Send When Online. Save yourself the guesswork of when your friend will wake up, and instead have your message arrive the next time they open the app.

When sharing a location, you can now easily select venues on your map instead of scrolling through a list. That's not even mentioning the new night mode maps to help you navigate in the dark.

Android and iOS got plenty more in their stockings and under the tree. Read the full blog to see all the changes, including a Quick Day/Night Toggle, Share Sheet Settings and Improved Search along with tons of new animations and redesigned interfaces.

Happy update to all, and to all a Happy New 2020: https://telegram.org/blog/verifiable-apps-and-more
