Improved Videos and Much More

TITLE

Today's update adds faster loading, better quality and new speed controls to videos, last edit timestamps, attaching media to sent messages, increased limits for mini apps, new monetization options for developers – and much more.

Faster Video Loading, Better Quality

For videos newly uploaded to large channels, the video player now automatically selects a quality level based on your connection to save your data and load videos faster. Users can also manually select their preferred quality level – High, Medium or Low.

On iOS, we've also made it easier to switch to Picture-in-Picture Mode – simply swipe up to continue watching as you browse your chats. Swiping down still closes the video.

To adjust video quality, tap the ⚙️ gear icon in the video player.

Since users no longer have to watch videos in the resolution in which they were uploaded, large channel owners can afford to post better-quality videos. They will no longer need to pre-process their videos for the best viewing experience — Telegram will now optimize each uploaded video for them and compress it in several qualities.

Users on weaker connections will automatically get more compressed videos, while those with high-speed internet can enjoy the full resolution.

These new video quality features are currently available for channels with thousands of subscribers.

Adjusting Playback Speed

For years, videos on Telegram have supported multiple speed settings – and now users can seamlessly speed up videos with new gestures without tapping through settings.

Just hold down on the right side of a video to activate 1.5x speed – and slide right gradually to increase the speed to up to 2.5x. Release your finger to return to normal speed.

On Android, you can double-tap on the left or right side of the video to skip 10 seconds in either direction.

Add Media to Sent Messages

If you forget to attach your photo, video or file before sending, you can quickly edit the message to add media in just two taps – rather than deleting it and starting over.

You can also edit sent media to re-edit photos or replace media in a message.

Last Edit Timestamps

Edited messages now show a timestamp, displaying when the message was last edited. If a message has been edited more than once, it will show the time of the most recent edit.

Your messages in small groups and private chats also have detailed read receipts – showing the time when your message was opened by each member.

Chat-Specific Hashtags

Group and channel owners can use the new format #hashtag@username for hashtags that only show posts and stories from the same chat when tapped.

For example, a user tapping #travel would see search results from all of Telegram – while #travel@durov would immediately open results only from the @durov channel.

Typing a hashtag in the message bar of public chats shows a special menu – allowing you to add the chat's username to the hashtag in just one tap.

Only public posts and public stories appear in global hashtag searches.

Telegram Ads in Bots

Bots and mini apps are now able to participate in revenue sharing from Telegram Ads – giving services another way to help support their development.

Telegram Ads are unobtrusive and privacy-conscious – supporting Telegram's sustainable monetization strategy, while sharing 50% of ad revenue with content creators and bot developers.

Increased Message Limits for Bots

All Telegram bots can send up to 30 messages per second to their users – completely free of charge. To better accommodate large-scale services, bots are now able to enable increased message limits and send up to 1000 messages per second.

Sending messages with increased limits costs just 0.1 Star per message, paid with Telegram Stars from the bot's balance. Developers can receive Stars from paid content and digital products in their bot.

Exact Reaction Counters

In case you want to know the exact number of heart (or star, or pumpkin) reactions your posts receive, press and hold the counters for more details.

That's it for today. Enjoy the new videos while we work on more stuff to put into demo videos for the next update!

P.S. Happy Halloween! We've added some new limited gifts for those celebrating.
