INFINITE REACTIONS, EMOJI STATUSES AND MUCH MORE
Infinite Reactions
• A new expandable reaction menu was added in private chats and groups.
• All users get access to dozens of new reactions, including reactions previously reserved for Premium users.
• The reactions you use most frequently will always be displayed at the top.
• Premium users can react to messages with thousands of custom emoji and add up to 3 reactions to each message.
Reaction Management
• Group admins can control whether custom reactions are allowed in their groups.
• We've added an option to report spam when opening a user's profile from a reaction. (Internet rule number N: if something exists, sooner or later, it will be used for spam).
Premium: Emoji Statuses
• Premium users can add an animated emoji status next to their name to display their current activity.
• To set a status, tap your Premium badge in the chat list or Settings.
• Popular suggestions for working, sleeping, traveling and more will be shown at the top.
• To set a status for a specific duration like 1 hour or 2 days, press and hold the emoji.
New Username Links
• A new format was supported for username links, in addition to "t.me/username." You can now open Telegram accounts, groups or channels using links like "username.t.me" or "https://username.t.me."
Improved Login Flow
• We've improved the registration and login experience with slick animations and a smoother UI.
• If you frequently re-login on Telegram, you can sign in faster using your email.
