The Telegram secure messaging app has been updated with video support, bot payments, and instant view.
Pure instant messaging — simple, fast, secure, and synced across all your devices. Over 100 million active users in two and a half years.
What's New In This Version: Version 4.0 brings three major updates in one:
1. Video messages and Telescope. - Tap the mic icon to switch to camera mode, then tap and hold to record quick video messages. - Swipe up while recording for hands free mode. Works with voice notes too! Stop and replay before sending. - Introducing Telesco.pe, where anyone can view video messages from public channels — no Telegram account required.
2. Bot Payments. - Bots can now accept payments from users. - Soon you'll be able to order pizza, shop for clothes, or maybe pay your utility bills using Telegram bots. - Bot payments support Apple Pay.
3. Instant View Platform. - Instant View is ready to support thousands of websites, including your favorite ones. - Anyone can create article previews with our new Instant View Editor. - We're launching a $200,000 contest to help us enable Instant View for the (almost) entire web. – Added themes for Instant View pages: read articles in a dark, grey, or sepia environment, choose font type and size, auto-nightmode supported. - Long tap when viewing an Instant View page to quickly copy or share the selected paragraph with friends.
