At the beginning of May, a new regular update for the popular Telegram messenger was released, which brought interesting innovations. We tell you what an ordinary user can take from the update both on the mobile version and on the computer client.
An active user has a large number of groups, bots and channels. Chats are obviously bombarded with notifications, so users turn them off. Now favorite channels can be easily archived, that is, hidden. The function is useful if the content of the group is useful and you do not want to permanently delete it. But even with notifications turned off, the channels are an eyesore with numerous unread messages.
New features allow you to save such chats, but at the same time keep only the most important.
The main innovation in the update is channel archiving, which performs the function of hiding the chat from the general list of dialogs.
In order to activate the new option, you need:
Notably, if notifications are not disabled on archived chats, they automatically return to the general list when a new message arrives. This does not happen if alerts are disabled, in which case channels do not leave this folder.
In fact, this tab is the same list of dialogs - here you can also pin and unpin your favorite groups.
Above, instructions were written for mobile versions of Telegram, what should those who use the desktop client do? It is also enough to run the program and click on the dialog with the right mouse button - exactly the same corresponding menu will appear.
This option also allows you to hide unwanted chat notifications (pin, unpin and delete) with almost one click without having to select each conversation individually. The innovation, however, affected only users of smartphones on the Android platform.
Just select one of the dialogs and hold it down with your finger, the notifications of which you want to remove, or delete the channel, or prioritize over other groups. Then just check the boxes for all other chats and choose from the list of possible actions in the list above.
Also in the section "Contacts" there is an opportunity to see users online. Previously, you had to enter the dialogue yourself and check if the selected contact is online.
Now Telegram can be blocked with a six-digit password. On Android devices, third-party applications were previously installed separately, but on iOS this possibility is not provided.
In addition, the application icon has been updated, a three-line display of messages has appeared, the removal of recently used stickers, and the send text button has shifted slightly.
To get all of the above features, you need to upgrade to version 5.6 on both iOS and Android systems.

Relevant only for desktop versions.
In this mode, all chats, notifications from which are hidden, will not be shown in the main list.
In order to activate the operating mode, do the following:
When there are really many channels to which you are subscribed, it again looks like a dump. There is an easy way to solve this problem.
Telegram now has a lot of bots aggregating messages from channels.
Take Vestnik as an example. This is a simple aggregator with intuitive controls.
Just add the channels you want to receive messages from and you can delete them (may the admins forgive me).
However, it is worth considering that messages from channels arrive with a slight delay, so we advise you to stay in your favorite and important channels, which you follow especially carefully.
Setting up the Messenger is quite simple:
Launch the bot and send it messages from the channels you want to add to it.
Additional traffic sources for the channel is always nice. This is something for which it is worth taking a little steam and here, as usual, the almighty Yandex comes to the rescue.
Many of you have heard about the Yandex Zen news platform. In addition to directly sending an rss feed there from your site, you can use this site without it.
If you do not have your own promoted site, you can create a channel directly in Zen and use it as a replacement for Telegra.ph
This way you will get an additional audience from Yandex directly to your channel.
Plus, when you reach a certain number of Zen views, you can also monetize well.
We hope our advice will help you a little in using Telegram (rhyme +100). Make only quality content for your channels and use Telegram to the fullest.

An active Telegram user always has a very large list of added groups and channels. It is logical that for some publics you turn off notifications. But there are a lot of such groups, so it will be useful to know how to hide a chat in Telegram.
Let's first explain how to disable notifications.
In the same way, you can turn notifications back on:
In this case, all groups and channels remain in the general list of all added ones.
Now let's learn how to make a hidden chat in Telegram.
Important! Do not confuse hiding notifications with secret chats. The latter are displayed in general conversations.
This mode is designed to hide conversations.
The convenience of using WorkMode is that you only have Important publics, it is easier for you to navigate among the rest, and you can always return these conversations.
The only disadvantage of this method is that it works only in the desktop version of the messenger, the mobile version simply does not have such a function. And, if you hide conversations on a PC, they will remain in the list on a mobile device. Let's hope that this feature will be implemented on mobile platforms.
The WorkMode function is disabled in the same way as it is enabled - enter WorkMode in the settings, click OK, and the Telegram application restarts without this function.

Messengers have become an integral part of our lives. However, they hide a lot more than just messaging. About the little-known functions and tricks of Telegram writes "Lifehacker".
1. Saving important things in "Favorites"
Not everyone knows that the "Favorites" section allows you to send messages to yourself. With it, you can conveniently transfer files, photos and simple links from your computer to your smartphone.
This section can act as a common clipboard for all devices where you use Telegram.
Also, with its help, you can quickly save interesting entries from Telegram channels. To do this, in the desired post, click on the repost arrow and select "Favorites" from the list of options. This is a convenient way to return to what you just do not have time to read now.
2. Reading messages invisibly
As soon as you open a new message, the sender will see a note in the chat that it has been viewed. The mobile version of Telegram has a trick that allows you to read messages without your interlocutor noticing.
Immediately after receiving a message, do not open it and turn on airplane mode on your smartphone. Then open the message, read it and close Telegram by unloading it from memory. After the flight mode, you can turn off and restart the application. If everything is done correctly, the interlocutor will not see that you have viewed his message.
3. Viewing video in picture-in-picture mode
In the mobile version of the messenger, YouTube videos can be watched directly in the chat - just click on the preview image that is displayed next to the link.
Not everyone knows that you can also play videos in picture-in-picture mode, that is, in a small window on top of all chats.
To do this, launch the video in Telegram and click on the icon with a filled rectangle in the frame below it. The window that appears can be dragged, but its size is always fixed.
This mode allows you to watch videos and chat with friends at the same time. It will be especially useful in cases where the sound is more important to you than the picture itself, since on small screens the video window will be quite small.
4. Replying to a message in a pop-up notification
To not expand the application to reply to each new message, you can use the reply function directly in the notification. That is, a message with a typing area will be displayed directly on top of other programs and desktops.
To activate this feature, find the notifications and sounds section in the settings, and there - "Pop-up notifications". If you select the "Always show" value, then the new message will make itself felt even when the screen is turned off or locked.
5. Recording an audio message without holding the button
To record an audio message in the mobile version of Telegram in the selected chat, you need to hold down the microphone icon. This is no secret to anyone. However, not everyone knows that if, after pressing the microphone, you do not remove your finger and pull it up, then the recording will continue automatically. This is very useful when creating long audio messages.
6. Automatic recording of an audio message
There is another way to quickly record a voice message: you just need to open the desired chat and bring your smartphone to your ear. The device screen will turn off and automatic recording will start.
If the feature doesn't work, it might just be disabled in the Telegram settings. Check the "Record voice when approaching" toggle.
7. Create and send GIF-animation
The mobile version of Telegram has a function to send a video. It allows you to quickly shoot a video, trim it if necessary, select the quality and send it to the chat.
The result is a video file in MP4 format that starts when clicked.
If, when creating a video, in the trim menu, turn off the sound by clicking on the microphone icon, then your recording will be sent to the chat in the form of a GIF. And it will be played automatically in a circle.
8. Apply masks over photos
When sending a photo to Telegram on your smartphone, you can crop the photo, change colors, add a caption, or attach funny mask stickers. It can be a funny wig, beard, glasses, animal ears and more.
To select these "stickers", take a photo using your smartphone's camera in the send message menu. Then, in the editing menu, click on the brush, and then on the mask icon. All stickers offered by the messenger can be rotated and resized.
9. Protecting chats with a password
This feature allows you to hide correspondence from prying eyes. It will be useful in situations where you can accidentally leave an unlocked smartphone somewhere. With all the desire, without a confirmation code, even the list of chats cannot be opened.
The feature is called "Passcode" and is available in the privacy and security settings. After creating a four-digit password in the chat list at the top, you need to click on the lock icon. Next, you can minimize the application or simply turn off the smartphone screen. When you try to open Telegram again, you will need this password.
10. Hiding chats with disabled notifications
The list of chats and contacts in Telegram is still not organized in any way. When new messages come from everywhere, even turning off the notifications of the selected channels no longer saves.
To solve this problem, many are switching to alternative mobile clients such as Plus Messenger. It has separate tabs for chats, channels, bots and other things. This is really convenient, but what about the desktop version? There is a solution for her, and right in the official client.
Open the settings, turn on the English layout and spell the word workmode. A message should appear asking you to confirm the action.
Then the program will restart and a clickable inscription "Hide chats without notifications" will appear in the list of chats and channels. Clicking on it will hide all chats in which you have turned off notifications.
You can return to the standard view in the same way: by entering the workmode command in the program settings.
