Scheduled Messages, Reminders, Custom Cloud Themes and More Privacy

In our previous update, we added a handy menu when you hold the send button. Today we're populating this menu with a new option that helps you plan ahead.

Hold the ‘Send’ button in any chat and select ‘Schedule Message’ to automatically send things at a specified time in the future (DeLorean not included).

Scheduling also works in your ‘Saved Messages’ chat, turning your planned posts into reminders. Be your own time-travelling secretary – whether it's about a dentist appointment next week, or waking up in time for pizza delivery.

Whenever a scheduled message or reminder is sent, you get a special notification marked with a , so you don't get caught off-guard by messages you planned in the past.

Custom Cloud Themes

You could first customize Telegram's appearance way back in 2017. Today's update makes this easier than ever across all platforms, including our native desktop apps.

Choose a pre-set accent color or pick something unique from the color wheel, and the app will adjust all elements accordingly. See how it looks in your favorite color, blue – no, yellow!

You can now easily create new themes based on your color and wallpaper choices, then fine-tune them manually or share right away. Each theme has a sharing link which allows anyone to switch to your theme and wallpaper in just two taps.

When you change your theme, it gets updated for all its users. This way you can update your app's looks to evolve as Telegram updates – or to change with the seasons.

To try out cloud themes, take a look at Sky Blue or Desert. These will work for both iOS and Android, and we solemnly swear to update them to acid green on orange when you least expect it.

Redesigned Message Options

On iOS, we have condensed message options into a single menu for forwarding, replying and more. You can now also select any portion of the message to copy or share, instead of only the full text.

New Privacy Settings

Telegram groups can be public and may hold up to 200,000 members each. When launching them, we were thinking of campuses, conventions and spaces where you could properly brag about your cats. However, Telegram communities are also increasingly used by people to organize themselves in the face of oppression.

We believe that all people have a right to express their opinions and communicate privately. To further protect these rights, we‘re expanding Telegram’s arsenal of Privacy Settings today.

If you set Who Can See My Phone Number to ‘Nobody’, a new option will appear below, allowing you to control your visibility for those who already have it. Setting Who Can Find Me By My Number to ‘My Contacts’ will ensure that random users who add your number as a contact are unable to match your profile to that number.

If, like the majority of our users, you rely on uploading phone contacts to identify friends and family members on the app, this setting won't get in your way.

More Animated Emoji

Regardless of whether you‘re fighting for freedom or queuing for coffee, you’ll likely find a use for the new additions to our animated emoji family.

As before, send a single , , , , or to unleash their spirit in motion.

And that's all, folks! While waiting for our next update, check out this brief history of Telegram. Or, if you're not into reading, run a bath and enjoy these animated rubber duck stickers.

How to Schedule Messages on Telegram

By John Awa-abuon

Telegram has a useful feature that lets you schedule messages for a later time. Here's how to use it.

Have you ever wanted to schedule a message on Telegram? Maybe a reminder for an event, or an early message for a friend’s birthday? Telegram has a feature that can help you do that.

Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging service that lets you send messages, photos, videos, and files of any type to people around the world. But one of the features that Telegram has, which not many other apps have, is the ability to schedule messages for later.

This post will show you how to do so, and also give some ideas for when it might be useful.

What to Know About Scheduling Messages on Telegram

Scheduling messages on Telegram ensures your message goes out at a specific time so that it reaches the recipient even if you’re not online at the scheduled time slot.

Gone are the days when you needed to stay awake until midnight just to be the first person to send a birthday wish to your friend or relative. Or the days when you needed to pick up your phone every two hours to send your friend a reminder for your flight booked for later that day.

How to schedule a Telegram message at a specific time

The Telegram messaging app has many features compared to its counterparts like WhatsApp and Messenger. Scheduled messages are one of several features that make Telegram special. With it, you can set up Telegram to automatically send a specific message to a recipient at a specific time. Also, it works even if your phone/computer is not connected to the internet or if Telegram is closed. This is good for reminders, group/channel posts, and other use cases that require advance planning. nine0003

You can schedule these types of messages to be sent automatically at specified times: Text messages, media (photo/video), files, music, location, and content of other connected apps/bots.

  1. Open a Telegram chat (individual / group / channel) that you want to schedule a message to.
  2. Enter a message or select the media/files you want to send.
  3. Press and hold the Send button. A submenu with additional options will open. nine0021
  4. Select "Schedule Message".
  5. Select a date and time in the future.
  6. Finish by clicking the "Submit (date) at (time)" button.

That's it. Now you can relax and let Telegram handle it. Telegram stores scheduled messages on the server. You can change content using any of your Telegram devices (desktop, laptop, phones) at any time. Also, the message will be sent even if none of your Telegram clients are connected to the internet. nine0003

Note: Send special greetings before using this feature. Note that even though the message/media is sent at the selected time, it does not appear as "online". Thus, your last visit will remain blocked until the moment you last opened the Telegram app.

Managing scheduled messages (add, change or cancel)

Once you have scheduled a message or media in a chat (group, channel or individual), it is very easy to manage scheduled chats where you can edit or cancel a previously scheduled message or add messages to the queue at different times. nine0003

To view and manage scheduled messages simply:

  1. Open the Telegram chat in which you have scheduled messages.
  2. You will find the calendar icon on the bottom bar of Telegram where you type your message.
  3. Click on it and you will be taken to the scheduled messages window. Now:
