The announcement of the new update was made by Telegram on the blog post stand it has highlighted the following changes that are coming to the app.
Video Stickers
Perhaps one of the biggest changes coming to the app is the ability to make video stickers on Telegram. You also get access to a manual that will tell you how to do everything you need to do.
Improved Message Reactions
In the last update, Telegram brought iMessage-esque reactions and in version 8.5, the company has made the animations more compact. Those who are looking to react with the larger effect of the previous version can do so by pressing and holding a reaction in the menu. Additionally, the reaction animations are now synced on both ends of the chat. One more thing is that you get a badge that appears outside a chat when someone reacts to one of your messages. You are also getting new interactive emojis, so there is that that you can look forward to.
Other Tweaks and Fixes
In addition to that, you are also getting a bunch of changes that you can read about below. Telegram v8.5 is now rolling out to both iOS and Android. You can download and try out all the new features. On iOS, you’ll also notice new animations when tapping icons in the tab bar.
