Telegram, the popular messaging app that competes head-to-head with WhatsApp, continues to innovate and improve its platform with each update. Now, version 9.5, which is coming to Android and iPhone mobiles , introduces several new features, among which stands out the energy saving mode, a function that allows you to optimize the application to consume less battery and use your phone for longer.
We already know in advance that, in terms of functionality and features, Telegram is a much more advanced app than WhatsApp. Proof of this are the countless options that it hides inside and that increase progressively with the arrival of new updates. The last one brings a huge amount of changes.

Power saving for Telegram
Smart phones have their own power saving settings to limit the performance of the smartphone and other functions in order not to use up so much battery. Many applications integrate this property under the same premise, and now Telegram joins this group with its 9.5 software update.

This power-saving feature allows users to set specific options to turn off power-hungry effects such as autoplay of videos and GIFs, sticker and emoji effects, and chat interface effects. Furthermore, it is also possible to limit background updates.
Power saving mode is especially useful for users of low-end or older devices as it allows them to extend battery life and improve app performance. But it can also be useful for any user who wants to reduce the energy consumption of their device and improve their user experience. This mode can be set to activate fully automatically based on a specific battery percentage.
