Telegram’s new features – Quick wrap

Messaging app Telegram has added a few new features. One of them allows you to send messages “without sound” to a recipient. All you need to do is simply hold the Send button to have any message or media delivered without sound.

Your recipient will get a notification as usual, but their phone won’t make a sound – even if they forgot to enable the Do Not Disturb mode.

This also works in groups, should you get an urgent idea at five in the morning – but not urgent enough to wake up everyone in your work chat.

Slow Mode

In case a group you manage is getting hard to follow, the Group Permissions section now features a Slow Mode switch.

When an admin enables Slow Mode in a group, you will only be able to send one message per the interval they choose. A timer will show how long you have to wait before sending your next message.
