Telegram\u2019s latest update includes an overhauled media editor outfitted with a bunch of new tools to decorate \u2014 or conceal \u2014 parts of your image or videos. In an update on its blog<\/a>, Telegram says it\u2019s introducing a new blur tool that lets you block out certain areas of a photo or video, allowing you to hide sensitive information, or blur the faces of passersby who appear in the background.<\/p>\n

To make the blurred portion of your photo blend in, Telegram says you can use the eyedropper tool to match the color of the blur brush to your image. Additionally, Telegram\u2019s adding a way to change the size, font, and background of text (sort of like Instagram or Snapchat) when adding it to photos or videos.<\/p>\n

It says its revamped drawing tools \u201cdynamically change width\u201d depending on how fast you\u2019re drawing and automatically smooths out lines. Telegram also added a way to quickly add shapes, such as rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles by tapping the \u201cplus\u201d icon in the editor. And if you don\u2019t want your recipient to see what you\u2019re sending right away, you can now apply a spoiler effect that adds a \u201cshimmering layer\u201d to an image or video that hides its contents until your recipient taps it. <\/p>\n

Outside of image editing tools, Telegram\u2019s latest update includes new storage options that let you automatically remove cached data in private chats, groups, and channels after a certain period of time, all while excluding the chats of your choosing. While Telegram previously let you clear your cache across all chats, this should make it easier to free up space automatically without affecting important conversations. It\u2019s introducing a handy new pie chart as well, which shows how much storage different types of files, like videos, documents, music, and photos, are taking up.<\/p>\n

There are also some other new settings that allow you to choose profile pictures for contacts that only you\u2019ll see \u2014 perfect if you have a certain unflattering picture you\u2019d like to be reminded of each time someone messages you. You can even suggest profile pictures for specific contacts, which they can then swap out if they like what you\u2019ve chosen. And if you already limit the visibility of your profile picture to your contacts only, Telegram now gives you the option to set a public profile picture that everyone can see. On the other hand, you can now set the visibility of your profile picture to \u201cnobody\u201d if you don\u2019t want anyone on the app to see your picture, not even your contacts.<\/p>\n

Other minor features include new animated and interactive emoji, a new progress animation on Android, and the ability for group admins to hide their member lists. This package of updates adds to the list of several other features Telegram added over the course of the last few months, including a way for Telegram users to sign up without a phone number<\/a> and video transcription for Premium users<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
