Telegram has announced a new set of changes this month, with a focus on monetization for influencers and creators. However, there are also some updates for regular users to take note of.
One key improvement is the detailed info page that now appears when someone outside your contacts messages you for the first time. This page includes their country, any shared groups, when they joined Telegram, and when they last updated their username or profile picture. This helps you spot scams, avoid impersonators, and verify the identity of the person contacting you.
In addition, Android users can now stream videos to their Chromecast devices directly from Telegram. This feature is great for watching content with friends or presenting in a meeting on a larger screen.
