While Whatsapp is on everyone’s lips by saying it’s a “novelty” to be able to delete the messages “without other users noticing”, Telegram is updated again to remind us because it is a messaging application much more advanced than Whatsapp.
Telegram already had the option to delete messages in a chat for months, while at Whastapp we continue to wait for it to be implemented in Mexico. Whatsapp also announced a few days ago that they could already send files of any type, another feature that Telegram did practically since it was released.
Yesterday, Telegram launched the new version 4.0.1 of its application in Android and iOS with which will now allow the creation of supergroups of up to 10,000 users, as well as the inclusion of Android Pay as payment method for the bots compatible with the Mobile telegram payments.
But if you think that allowing at least 10,000 users to interact at the same time in a group is crazy, it is important to mention that in Telegram groups and channels have become an excellent communication tool for: artists, who develop themes In telegram; Bot developers, who implement new solutions and functions through the application; And discussion forums on thousands of topics. So allowing up to 10,000 users per group is an important step for the community, although Pavel Durov, creator of Telegram, has promised to increase this limit to 20 thousand in the future.
Similarly, channel and group administrators now have the option of granting specific permissions to the members they want, so selected users can manage messages, add people, block other users, edit group information, and Perform partial locks.
Regarding the aforementioned partial locks, it is also one of the novelties which allow users locked in this mode can only read messages from the group, but will not be able to interact in it, at least for as long as it is assigned to its block .
Last but not least, Telegram has added the option to pay in its bots with Android Pay, excellent news if we consider that the pending point after the company will announce the payments in the app a few weeks ago was the subject of Security, because even though the company would be responsible for processing payments, we were not quite sure where all of our banking information was going to go, so using Android Pay will allow users not to give this information to Nobody except Google.
Telegram wants to start increasing electronic commerce through its large community of users, who could soon start to create their own marketing groups to sell and buy what we like most without the need to leave the application itself
