Will Telegram overcome Whatsapp in upcoming years????

Telegram new features: Telegram announces a slew of new features! Facebook-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp’s rival app Telegram has rolled out a new update, which has significant features. These new features include an improved version of its ‘people nearby’ facility, and it also allows users to upload Profile videos. Not just that, it has now also allowed unlimited file sharing with up to 2 GB per file. The updates were announced by the company in a statement on Sunday.

Profile video on Telegram: What it means

The profile video features mean that now, users can upload their video to make it their profile display media, instead of having to stick to a picture. Whenever someone opens the profile of a user who has displayed a profile video, it would play. Apart from that, users would also be able to choose a specific frame from the video which could be displayed in chats.

Telegram: Increased file sharing limit

Telegram also announced on Sunday that it would be increasing the size limit of each file shared on the app. Since 2014, Telegram allowed its users to share files of up to 1.5 GB per file, but on Sunday, the messaging platform increased this limit to 2 GB for any file type.

Apart from that, the update has brought with itself an improved version of ‘people nearby’ feature, through which the users would now also be able to find out the distance between them and any of their deleted contacts. The desktop version of Telegram would now also support multiple accounts much like the mobile app, which has been offering this functionality since 2017. Moreover, the new update has also brought the functionality to block any unwanted chat. In case a user is getting a lot of messages from non-contacts, they can go to the privacy and security settings and switch on the option to automatically archive and mute chats from new people who are not in contact.

Owners of groups that have more than 500 members would now be able to view detailed graphs about the group’s activity and growth. Moreover, these stats would also display a list of top members, based on the number of messages each user sends, and it would also give out the average length of the messages. This feature would also be launched for groups having just 100 members also, in the future.

Google Camera 7.5 changes the file naming scheme and stops saving portrait photos in separate folders

Google Camera 7.5, the latest version of the camera app for Google Pixel smartphones, had earlier been spotted throwing around hints for the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5, alongside hints for features such as audio zoom, expanded social share, and more camera modes. The same version of the app also brings around some more changes, notably a change in the file naming scheme for photos and finally stopping the behavior for saving portrait photos in a separate folder. In Google Camera 7.5, portrait photos will no longer be saved into their own folders, which is a move that is likely to be appreciated by everyone. On older versions, any portrait pics that you clicked would be saved inside individual folders within the DCIM/Camera directory, which was frankly a terrible implementation. Using most gallery solutions would mean that you had to venture into each individual folder to check out the images, plus your photos would not show up chronologically, and deleting the pictures would still le...
