Firstly, Telegram has added the ability to replace media and add a caption to the image. For example, you’ve sent a wrong image by accident, and on Telegram, it’s already possible to delete the message for everyone and send a new one instead. However, now users can just replace photos or videos with the correct versions right away. Here’s how you can do that: start editing the messages, then tap on the attach button to replace the media. Furthermore, users can also add captions to photos or videos for the edited ones.

Next on the list, we have the double time playback for voice and video messages. With this feature, users can switch to 2x playback mode for a voice or video message received to save the time. Finally, Telegram has added the ‘Mark as Read or Unread‘ chats functionality to the platform. This feature offers a quick way to get less important messages out of the way and highlight the chats that require your future attention.
