Group Video Calls
• Start video conferences from Voice Chats in any group.
• Share your screen or video from your camera with up to 30 participants (limit to be increased soon).
• Talk without video with an unlimited number of participants.
• Create voice chats from the ⋮ menu in the profile of any group where you are an admin.
• Group video calls are supported natively on all devices, including iPad, tablets and laptops.

Animated Backgrounds
• Meet animated backgrounds for chats – first time in a messaging app! These multi-color gradient backgrounds are generated algorithmically and move beautifully every time you send a message.
• Create your own backgrounds in Chat Settings by selecting unique combinations of colors and applying any of the dozens of patterns.
• Share your animated backgrounds with friends and family to upgrade them to a new level of messaging experience.
• Choose between dozens of new gorgeous animated backgrounds in Chat Settings > Change Chat Background.
• On iOS, backgrounds are now partially visible through the header and the footer in chats, giving the interface a classy new look.

Message Sending Animations
• Send messages with improved animations­­ – stickers and animated emoji fly into the chat from the sticker panel.
• On iOS, this also applies to media you send from the attachment panel, and even text messages. Your input text smoothly transforms into the message bubble as it flies into the chat.

2-Step Verification Reminders
• You will now receive a notification from Telegram each time your 2-Step Verification settings are changed.

Bot Menu
• We made it easier to communicate with bots, adding a special menu button that lets you browse and send commands. Bots can also change the placeholder in the input field to give you a better idea of what kind of message they are expecting.

Importing Stickers
• The @stickers bot can help you create new sticker packs as well as get usage stats for your stickers.
• Today we're giving third-party developers the tools to make apps that help people generate new custom unique stickers and import their creations to Telegram in one tap.
