Apocalypse, 1997. Telegram

Telegram offers plenty of options for customization to make the app feel like a truly personal experience. Here is the list of interface element you can change: Auto-Night Mode They offer a great opportunity to reach people directly, sending notifications to their devices with every post. Users can join and leave channels at any time. And once they join a channel, they can see its entire message history.

This update is being rolled out gradually. If your app is not offering you to update, please wait – the new version will become available soon. Use Hashtags to Organize Your Chats Create APIs To get going, open the Telegram app on your device. Then, head over to a chat and tap on the name of the chat at the top.

The aforementioned secret chats are where you can take part in end-to-end encrypted messaging with a contact. But that’s not its only benefit: Secret chats also don’t allow a person forward messages from there or take screenshots. Of course, someone could take a picture of the screen with another device, but it’s still discouraged, and it’s bolstered by another feature: self-destruct timers. Telegram users will now be able to press and hold any items in the list to reorder them and change their priority – downloading the top file first. A further privacy blunder is that Telegram notifies your contacts when you join it — unless you don’t give it permission to access your contacts. The app doesn’t warn you it’s about to ping your contacts, and that’s a big caveat for those who want to use Telegram to keep a low profile. Unlike mass-market messengers like WhatsApp and Line, Telegram is an open-source app. This means anyone can check the app’s source code, protocol, API, and see how it works and make an informed decision.
