Animated Backgrounds
• Meet animated backgrounds for chats – first time in a messaging app! These multi-color gradient backgrounds are generated algorithmically and move beautifully every time you send a message. • Create your own backgrounds in Appearance Settings by selecting unique combinations of colors and applying any of the dozens of patterns. • Share your animated backgrounds with friends and family to upgrade them to a new level of messaging experience. • Choose between dozens of new gorgeous animated backgrounds in Appearance Settings > Background. • Backgrounds are now partially visible through the header and the footer in chats.
Message Sending Animations
• Send messages with improved animations – your input text smoothly transforms into the message bubble as it flies into the chat. • Stickers and animated emoji you send jump into the chat from the sticker panel.
More app icons
• Change your app icon to one of the new gradient logos in Settings > Appearance.
Login Info Reminders
• Confirm that your phone number is up to date and that you remember your 2-Step Verification password from new prompts in Settings. • You will now receive a notification from Telegram each time your 2-Step Verification settings are changed.
