A week into February and Telegram has published another
update in the Store bringing some useful features to the messaging app as it
pursues its goal to become the one messaging app for all.
The first item in the list of changes is video streaming.
Users will be able to view videos right away upon receiving them without having
to download them first. A feature that was introduced in WhatsApp in January
last year. It's good to see Telegram introducing it too as it is neat. Video
streaming works with Telegram 4.8 and on.
The second feature is Night mode. The latter is already
available in the app and I have it enabled by default. In case you are not
comfortable with having night mode on at all times, Telegram now lets you
schedule the switch to the dark version "after nightfall or in low-light conditions". To setup night
mode, go to Settings > Theme > Auto-Night mode. Three options are
available: Disabled, Scheduled and Automatic. Telegram also added three "preferred night theme" to choose
from: Default, Blue and Dark.
The last item is a Telegram Login Widget to log in to
websites that support signing in with Telegram using your browser. "Logging in will send your Telegram name,
username, and your profile picture to the website owner. Your phone number
remains hidden. The website can also request permission to send you messages
from their bot."
That's it for the new features in Telegram 4.8. The update
is already available for download in Google Play Store.
