“With this update, you get even more control: secret chats, groups you created and call history can now also be deleted for all sides at any time”.
Messages and media you move don`t need to occupy extra space.
“Older apps make you store all data on your device? but Telegram can take up virtually no space while letting you access all your messages, photos and videos anytime you need them,” the company said.
The company also announced improved chats where the users can adjust the volume of individual participants to manage microphone levels.
