Telegram’s latest update brings an AI-powered text editor, upgraded polls with animated leaderboards, Live Photos in chats, the ability for bots to manage other bots, and a lot more.
The new AI Editor lets you quickly translate, improve, restyle or summarize any text directly in Telegram. Just select text in any message input field, tap the new wand icon, and choose what you’d like to do.
Polls in Telegram now have animated leaderboards that show results in real time, making group decisions even more engaging. Quiz polls also get new settings for custom correct answer explanations.
You can now send Live Photos from your iPhone directly in Telegram chats. Recipients can press and hold to see the motion captured in the photo — just like in the iOS Photos app.
Bot developers can now allow their bots to be controlled by other bots. This opens up new possibilities for complex automation workflows where multiple bots work together.
