Telegram's Latest Update: Send Gifts to Friends and Enjoy a New Video Chat Interface.

The Telegram team has rolled out a brand-new update, bringing exciting features for users to explore. One of the coolest additions is the ability to send animated gifts to friends. These gifts come with personalized text messages, making them extra special. Once received, you can even display them on your profile to show off or trade them for Stars.

What’s even more interesting is that you can send these gifts anonymously! The recipient will know who sent it, but your name won't be visible to others, even if they see the gift on the profile.

For Android users, the update finally includes support for live streaming in RTMP mode. This means you can now generate stream keys and control video streams using popular software like OBS Studio or XSplit Broadcaster. This feature has already been available for PC and iPhone users since 2022.

iOS users get an entirely revamped video chat interface. Group calls now use fewer resources, which helps save battery life. Plus, your phone won’t heat up as much during long conversations with many participants—perfect for staying connected without worrying about your device.

The "Report" menu has also been expanded, giving you more detailed categories. For example, if you're reporting spam, you can now specify if it's fraud or phishing.

Additionally, Telegram introduced a new platform for sending verification codes, perfect for businesses. Verified codes will be delivered in a separate chat, helping businesses communicate with customers. However, this service isn’t free—it costs $0.01 per user.
