Telegram has introduced a number of new features aimed at improving privacy and control over material on the platform.
This is part of the year-end update for the cloud-based platform, which focuses on significant public usage improvements.
One of the most noticeable additions is the option to use a blur effect to disguise critical photographs or videos.
Telegram has added a feature that allows users to put up a separate profile photo for public viewing while hiding their image from all but a few select users.
It’s easier for group admins managing large groups to hide the members’ list and protect them from unwelcome personal chats.
