Telegram has recently released a new update, which includes many new features and improvements. Under this update, Chromecast support has been added for Android users, so that they can easily stream any video on Telegram on the big screen.

Apart from this, the company has also added some new security features, which will help protect users from fraud and spam. Along with this, Telegram has also provided discounts on its verification platform, allowing businesses and startups to verify the identity of their users at a lower cost.

What's new in the Telegram update?

Telegram detailed these new features in a blog post as part of its monthly update series. The major focus of this update is on a virtual currency called "Telegram Stars", which can be used to unlock content and services in mini apps. Apart from this, users can also use it to donate to other users. The price of buying 100 Telegram Stars in India has been kept at Rs 199.

Chromecast support for Android users- Now Android users can stream videos on Chromecast devices while watching them on the Telegram app. After opening the video, tap on the Settings icon. Select the Chromecast option from there and start streaming.

New Info Page to prevent fraud- Telegram has added a new Info Page feature to prevent fraud and spam. When a new person (who is not on your contact list) sends you a message for the first time, a detailed info page will appear. This page will show information such as their country (based on phone number), when they joined Telegram, when their username and profile picture was updated, which groups they share with you, is it an official account or verified by a third party.

Telegram Gateway: Cheap and secure verification system- Telegram Gateway is a new verification solution that allows businesses and startups to verify their customers' phone numbers at a low cost. SMS authentication will cost $0.01 (approximately ₹0.80), which is cheaper than traditional SMS costs. Companies can set a maximum delivery time, and if the SMS does not arrive on time, the fee will be refunded.

New way to prevent spam and earn money - Telegram has added a new feature, which allows users who receive a large number of messages to prevent spam and also earn money from their popularity. Now users can set a fee for receiving messages from people outside their contact list. This will block spam messages and at the same time give the user a chance to earn money from it.

"Star system" will be implemented in groups and channels - Telegram stars can now be used in groups and channels so that the conversation remains topic-focused. Group owners will be able to monetize their community financially.
