- Telegram is squeezing in one last feature update this year.
- The patch brings spoiler text formatting, message reactions, and more.
Telegram gained an update earlier this month, which brought privacy improvements and nifty message deletion smarts. However, it seems the chat app isn’t entirely done with the December feature dump. In the final update of 2021, the app is rolling out a host of additional enhancements.
The most notable addition is message reactions, which lets users respond to select texts with emoji in a Slack or Discord-like fashion. Users can Double-tap a message to send a thumbs-up emoji or tap once to access more. The feature is now always on in private chats but can be switched on by admins of group chats and channels.
