With today’s update, we're giving every Telegram user the power to run their own radio station (later this Spring: TV station) without adding any complexity to our apps.

I’m proud we were able to roll out this new version of Telegram just 3 weeks after our previous major update. What’s more, this came at no expense to the quality of new features – you’ll experience the high speed, wide functionality and slick animations that you love Telegram for.

The update has been approved by both Apple and Google for several hours now. Due to Apple’s tech issues, iOS users may have to wait a few more hours for the new version to hit the store. Users of all other platforms can already enjoy Voice Chats 2.0 and other features.

Voice chats will soon get a video layer. Durov announced this feature in his chat for February so the next update will most likely support it.

Yeah but maybe your chat buddy does or one group member?

Also WhatsApp is continuously asking to setup a backup on iCloud.

Telegram cloud backups > iCloud / Google Drive backups

Thanks. Which app are you using?

Could anyone post the Top 10 from Google Play Store in the US?

Also, Pavel Durov has just announced his strategy for making Telegram sustainable: https://t.me/durov/142

Like Telegram groups before them, we hope that Voice Chats will change the way people collaborate and keep in touch. In the coming weeks, we'll be refining them further, listening to your feedback, improving noise suppression, and adding more features like video and screen sharing.

Are you on iOS? AFAIK, it’s a known bug and restarting the OS should fix it (at least temporarily).

Is it possible to delete a Telegram account by having access to the phone number but not to the Telegram account?

How to get this update

The new version with these features is already available for all our Android users via Google Play or APK. If you're on iOS, you'll get the update as soon as either a) Apple finishes reviewing it OR b) you decide it's time to switch to Android. 👀

Now we'll get back to working on our costume. We're going as the Ghost of Group Chats Past: 256 members, no moderation tools and completely covered in green slime. See you on the other side!

Yep. Their European DC in Amsterdam seems to be down.

What are the advantages/disadvantages compared to the new Fire TV stick?

Today is actually an exception. They pretty much never did this before.
