We’re preparing v8.3 at this moment, which supports: PROTECTED CONTENT, DELETE BY DATE, DEVICE MANAGEMENT AND MORE Protected Content in Groups and Channels • Content creators can restrict the ability to forward messages from their groups and channels. • When forwarding is restricted, users will also be unable to directly save media from the chat or take screenshots. • Toggle this option on or off via Chat Info > Group / Channel Type. Delete Messages by Date • Clear messages in one-on-one chats from a specific date or period of time. • Tap the date header in a chat to open the calendar and select a single day or range to delete. Manage Connected Devices • Tap the new button at the top of Settings > Devices to quickly log in to Telegram Desktop or Web by QR code. • Choose how long a device may stay inactive before it's logged out automatically. • Select a device to control whether it is allowed to accept Calls or new Secret Chats. Format Text in Media Captions • Highlight text in a media caption to add formatting like bold, italic, links and more. • Captions also support markdown like bold, italics and strikethrough. Anonymous Posting in Public Groups • Comment as one of your channels in public groups and channel comments. • Tap the profile picture next to the message bar to choose which channel you will appear as when you send the message. Redesigned Contact Info and More • Enjoy the new iOS 15 look and feel of Contact and Group Info pages. • Text recognition on pictures is now available for users on iOS 13+. • Log in on some mobile devices by receiving a call from Telegram and entering several digits from the number that called. • When you request to join a group and its admin or bot-admin contacts you with a message, you will see which group they are from at the top of the chat. It's a HUGE update, so it's expected to take some time. It is targeted to release around December 15.
