Telegram’s latest update includes a revamped media editor outfitted with a slew of new tools for decorating or concealing parts of a user’s image and videos.
According to PTI, the platform is introducing a new blur tool that allows users to block out specific areas of a photo or video in a blog update.
This enables them to conceal sensitive information or blur the faces of passers-by in the background. Telegram suggests using the eyedropper tool to match the color of the blur brush to your image to blend the blurred portion of your photo in.
Furthermore, when adding text to images or videos, Telegram allows you to change the text’s size, font, and backdrop.
Telegram also added a way to quickly add shapes like rectangles, circles, arrows, stars, and chat bubbles by tapping the “plus” icon in the editor.
Users can even add a spoiler effect to an image or video that adds a “shimmering layer” that hides the contents until your recipient taps it.
Outside of image editing tools, Telegram’s latest update includes new storage options that let you automatically remove cached data in private chats, groups, and channels after a certain period, all while excluding the chats of your choosing.
Other minor features include the ability to choose profile pictures for contacts that only you will see, a newly animated and interactive emoji, a new progress animation on Android, and the ability for group admins to hide their member lists.
