Telegram has released a new app update. With update 9.3, messages containing media can now be masked. The cache memory in the app can also be managed more finely and the member lists in group conversations can be made invisible.
Telegram explains more about the new features in a blog post . In it, the messaging service states that messages with photos and videos can be masked via the update so that their content is not immediately visible to a recipient. He must then first click on such messages before they can be viewed.
New cache management options are also introduced. That memory could already be cleaned up automatically, but now Telegram makes it possible to do that per conversation type. The chat service is also introducing a new visual indicator that shows what contents are cached and Telegram is also introducing separate tabs for Media, Files and Music contents.
The chat service also added some new photo editing options and it will also be possible to adjust profile pictures of others so that they are displayed differently to a user. Administrators of groups with more than 100 members will also have the option to make a member list invisible via the new update. This should provide more privacy for the group members involved.
