Many who are waiting for the new Telegram update on Android should instead go to Telegram's official website and manually sideload the app. iOS devices, on the other hand, will be able to download the app from the App Store. Additionally, new transitions have been added to the Android app when opening the side menus or swiping back to the chat list from a chat.

The release of Payments 2.0 is one of the most significant features of this upgrade. This feature would enable Telegram users to make credit card payments to merchants. According to the company, it does not charge a fee for this service and does not keep any user records. It also allows buyers to leave delivery tips, and payments can be made from any Telegram app, even the Web versions.

Telegram has set up a demo channel so that users can test out the feature in advance. There is also a Payments Manual that contains all of the important details for the payments function. Telegram's Voice Chats 2.0 has the latest feature that allows users and admins to plan a voice chat, with a timer at the top of the page. Hosts would also have to manually initiate the voice chat at the end of the countdown. Instead of waiting in the session, listeners can choose to get a notification at the end of the countdown.

Dark Mode, animated stickers, chat files, payments, and other features are included in the new apps. In addition, the chat app has enhanced the media viewer inside the app. Telegram also allows users to stretch and zoom into media without needing to access it in the media viewer. You can head over to their blog to find in-depth details on the new features.
