Since its launch, Telegram has positioned itself as one of the best alternatives to WhatsApp. Its main features are, on the one hand, being away from Facebook control and respecting the privacy of users, and on the other hand, offering a client and an open source API that lets its users know what is hidden in the code and Chat security.
Telegram is intended for use from mobile devices, just like WhatsApp. However, it also has different clients, both official and third-party, that allow us to use this messaging client from PC. We can find the official Telegram client for Windows , macOS and even for Linux.
A few hours ago, those responsible for Telegram launched a new version of their messaging application for PC. This is the first Telegram update of 2020 and has reached all users for everything great, full of improvements and novelties.
Telegram 1.9.3: a great messenger client update
This new version of the messaging client has wanted to start the new year for everything great.
The first of the news that has reached this messaging client is related to the reproduction of the videos on the chats. From now on, the videos play automatically when we play them in a chat. This also applies to GIF images.
This new option had been quite requested by users, and it has finally come true. However, if we don’t want the videos to play automatically, we can easily disable it from the Telegram Settings menu.
Also related to videos, from now on Telegram will save the progress when we watch videos or listen to long audios from the app itself. Upon returning to them, reproduction will continue from where we had left it.
The spell checker, another highly anticipated novelty
Along with the novelty of the videos, this new version of Telegram also includes another great novelty: the spell checker . This novelty is available for all modern operating systems (such as Windows 10 or Ubuntu, among others), and will allow us to communicate much better, without any misspelling.
The Telegram spell checker is also available for Android and iOS users.
Telegram for PC is still one step behind the Android and iOS version
Without a doubt, these are two great novelties that have reached Telegram for Windows and other PC operating systems. However, this client is still one step behind the Android and iOS client.
For example, on PC we will not be able to use the new chat backgrounds of the space cat (even if we configure it from the mobile), in addition to not having the function of sending schedule available when it is online.
The new version of Telegram for Windows 10 is now available in the Microsoft Store. Users who already had the previous version installed can upgrade to this new version from the Windows store itself. Those who do not have it installed yet, can download it for free from the Store.
