Telegram is a great all-around messenger, especially when you start using its best features and know everything it's capable of. All usernames on Telegram have their own t.me/username links, making it easy to share public profile, group or channel anywhere on the internet. Every username will now have a new unique link format – username.t.me – for those who want to emphasize their name (or have trouble finding the / key). New icons are available that premium users can add to their Home Screen to better match their personality or wallpaper. Choose from a premium star, night sky, or turbo-plane.

When you use a hashtag in a message, that word becomes searchable allowing you to see all the messages relating to that topic.

If you want to see all the messages in one location, you can just tap on the hashtag and all the messages with that hashtag will come up.
