Telegram 10.3 released: similar channels, decryption of audio messages for everyone and more

Telegram 10.3 update has been released, which brought 11 new features and improvements. Among them is a channel recommendation system. Every time you subscribe to a channel, a list of similar public channels that may be of interest to you will appear on your screen. They are selected based on the intersection of audiences.

Stories can now be reposted to yourself and accompanied by text, an audio track or a video message. You can also select the circle of users who will see this repost.

Another important change is that transcription of audio and video messages is now available without a Premium subscription. There are some “buts”: you can decrypt only two messages per week for free. Premium subscribers have no limit. It is noted that this feature is being rolled out gradually and may not yet be available in all regions.

Also among the innovations:

• You can now add a video message in a circle on top of a story (your own or someone else’s when reposting);
• Premium subscription now allows you to add a unique logo and profile color combination;

• Premium also allows you to apply new wallpapers for chat so that they are displayed for both you and your interlocutor;
• Channel owners now have access to statistics on views, shares and reactions to stories - with graphs;
• Administrators can also add emoji from non-standard sets to the list of reactions - one for each channel level;
• All Telegram apps now automatically recognize code language in messages and highlight syntax (when the "code" formatting type is used);
• The application remembers the display mode when viewing groups with topics - as a single chat or individual topics;
• Self-destructing messages on iOS are now accompanied by a “Thanos snap,” an animation in which the file or text crumbles into dust.

The update is already available on all platforms.
