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.

Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain

  Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their minds. Mr.Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr.Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race. Elon Musk reveals brain-hacking plans Gertrude was one of three pigs in pens that took part in Friday's webcast demo. She took a while to get going, but when she ate and sniffed ...
