This is desktop Telegram-specific and I have very few followers, so I doubt it will reach many people; nevertheless I will post it. Locally storing files is a good thing to do. The Internet may go out or you may feel a need to hoard data. In our sphere the latter is quite likely. Saving a large amount of files from a Telegram chat/channel can be done easily. Here are two ways to do so: 1. Click the three vertical dots in the upper right of any chat/channel. Click "export chat/channel history". Select whatever options you desire, even the date range. 2. Click an image/gif/video so that it maximizes on the screen. Right click the displayed media and click "view all photos/files". In this screen, all files of the selected type can be selected by Shift-clicking individually or by dragging with the mouse; the selected files can then be saved by right clicking just one of the selected files. You can also use this method to mass-delete messages in a chat/channel you are admin of. For phone users: Get a desktop computer. #help
