Telegram update adds reply and link previews improvements،

One of the most popular messaging apps, Telegram, is adding more functionality to features like replies and link sharing. THE new changes coming with latest update promise more customization for these two features and a bunch of other small improvements.

For the first time since Telegram introduced replies in 2015, the app is introducing the ability to quote specific parts of any message. Telegram users can now tap the quote to focus on the exact location in the original message with animation.

To try this, tap the message (on iOS you have to hold), then hold and drag to select the text and choose “Quote.” Additionally, Telegram users can also send replies to other chats. To reply in another chat, you can now tap the reply bar above the input field, select “Reply in another chat”, then choose where you want to send it.

Another improvement brought by the latest Telegram update includes the ability to add quote formatting to any text, including multiple quotes in a single reply. The context menu has been updated to provide a more streamlined experience.

The link preview functionality has been completely redesigned to give users more control. For example, Telegram users can now change the media size, choose where the preview appears (above or below the message), as well as select which link to preview if there are several. Finally, you can now tap anywhere in the preview area to open a link.

Customizable link previews

For Premium users, Telegram has added the ability to personalize their account even more by choosing a color or color combination. This specific feature will change the color of an account’s name across all groups, the links they send, and the replies to their messages. Additionally, it is now possible to choose an icon to use as a pattern.

The final highlight of the latest Telegram update is Stories. Some improvements such as the ability to fast forward and rewind videos have also been added, as well as the ability to adjust the brightness using the front flash.
