We have included Gboard as one of the best apps launched this past year on Android. Although, to tell the truth, it was the 6.0 update that transformed Google Keyboard into that keyboard whose great exclusivity is the G button inclusion that allows you to search to share them with whoever you want.
Another of the great novelties of Gboard is that it carries built-in GIF finder to send them from the same keyboard, the only thing that only worked in Allo and Hangouts, so we were left without being able to use it in apps in Telegram. Although it has been in today's Telegram update when you will be able to send GIFs, as well as other new features such as the deletion of sent messages, shortcuts from the icon and much more.
Deleting spam sent messages
Starting a year strong is having an update like the one Telegram has in hand with version 3.16. I have put as the main protagonist the sending of animated GIFs from Gboard in Telegram, but it is the chat app itself that emphasizes the ability that you will have from now on to delete those messages that by mistake you have been able to send.
It wouldn't be the first time we've sent a message and then we have retracted having carried out that action, so if the sender, for whatever reason, has not seen or read it, you will have the opportunity to erase it before he turns on his mobile to find out about that new notification that has reached his mobile device.
You can now delete the messages you have shipped in the last 48 hours, which is a good time frame to make corrections and remove those messages from the conversations you have on Telegram.
Use of the network, T.me links and Android news
Telegram has included another very interesting feature in this update at the beginning of the year and this is the ability we now have to know exactly how our app uses the network. This way you will know precisely how much data do you consume while you are under the 3G / 4G or WiFi.
Another of the virtues of this update is the ability to use t.me instead of telegram.me in usernames. For this reason, you can write t.me/username to shorten the time in which that new contact will be able to talk to you through those chats.
T. me too works for channels, t.me/telegram, for public groups, t.me/snowballfight and stickers, t.me/addstickers/NickSantini.
All the what's new for Android users are these and it is because 85% of Telegram users are on Android:
- Messages from a sender are now grouped, so even when you scroll through the chat you can see the day
- The app now remember the position inside the chat
- Shared files are now easier to see because you will see a list of recently downloaded ones on the share screen
- Gboard support, which means that from the Google Keyboard you can send animated GIFs
- Android 7.1: app shortcut from the icon for different accesses such as the most frequent chats
- Now you can report spam in secret chats
- Several emojis return to Android: the cowboy, the clown and the sick face
Una more than interesting Telegram update that brings a good number of small novelties, but that as a whole improves the user experience. Now let's hope that WhatsApp takes note of the ability to send animated GIFs and activate the compatibility to be able to send this type of multimedia content so fashionable and that allows us to interact with our contacts in a more fun and enjoyable way at certain times of the day. day. Telegram has done it, now will be their time.
You can now go through the Google Play Store as the update to the version 3.16 from Telegram.
