Telegram has decided to put down the heavy artillery and challenge WhatsApp. The messaging service has unveiled a new update for all users of the app – here’s what to expect.

Until recently, Telegram was not taken too much into consideration by most users. Things have changed dramatically with the continuous crashes and increasingly frequent downs of WhatsApp. These events led to the growth of the blue messaging service, where many have downloaded the app. Now they are ready to launch the attack with a highly anticipated update.

Although Whatsapp is undoubtedly the most popular instant messaging application in the world. The outages and malfunctions more and more frequent of its service have given an assist to all its competitors. In particular a Telegram, the app that has been escalating continuously for several years now. This is a service that is gaining quite a bit of trust from users.

Among other things, the app also includes some advanced features that distinguish it from the most used app in Italy and throughout the rest of the world. Both are services that deliver what they promise. And they have considerable privacy security. But more and more users prefer the service of the Dubai-based company which is now ready to launch a update.

They function as individual chats within the group and support setting up notifications and media sharing. There is no lack of support for ai surveys to the bot and the use of fixed messages.

We then have the introduction of the function of collectible username. In addition to a basic username, you can now assign different collectible nicknames to each of your public accounts and chats. The ownership of these is guaranteed by the TON blockchain network and can be bought and sold through a dedicated platform.
