Telegram brings auto-delete to all chats, home screen widgets, invite links
February 26, 2021
Telegram updates are always something to look forward to since they consistently bring exciting and useful goodies to the digital table. The latest one is no exemption as users can now enable an auto-delete timer to all kinds of chats. You can also now access your chats faster with two kinds of home screen widgets as well as more flexible invite links. And if your group is almost reaching the maximum limit of members, you can convert it to a broadcast chat with unlimited members.
Previously, Telegram users can set a message to self-destruct at a certain time, but you could only do it in Secret Chats. The update now lets you put an auto-delete timer in all of the Telegram chats, whether one-on-one, groups, or channels. You can choose to automatically erase the message or messages for all participants either in 24 hours in 7 days after sending. You have to set the timer first before sending of course and you’ll see a countdown timer in the message. For groups or channels, only admins can enable and modify it.
