Telegram Update: As soon as 2025 starts, many new features will come in Telegram, users will enjoy it, security will also increase..

Telegram has introduced several new features with its first update of 2025. Talking about the changes, the messaging app has now allowed users to convert the gifts received into collectibles. These can also be transferred to others. Apart from this, features like in-app QR code scanner, service message reactions, emojis in folder names and extra message search filters have also been added with this update.

The company says that this was to be the 17th major update of 2024, but it could not meet the deadline due to 'lack of attention from Apple's review team'.

Let's know the new features of Telegram

Telegram has explained its new features in detail in a blog post. According to the company, gifts received on Telegram can now be upgraded to collectibles. They can also be transferred to other users or auctioned on the NFT marketplace. Upgrading gifts to collectibles unlocks a new appearance with custom variations designed by Telegram artists. The instant messaging platform says that collectibles also get background colors, icons, and numbers, ensuring that each collectible is unique.

After the update, service messages such as someone joining a group or sending a gift will now support emoji reactions. Similarly, after the update, it will also be easier to find messages from specific chats thanks to new extra filters to refine searches in private and group chats and channels in Telegram.

Now official third-party services can assign extra verification icons to user accounts and chats to improve transparency. If a user receives third-party verification, a small logo will appear next to the name. However, the company emphasizes that the third-party verification icons are completely different from the verified checkmarks offered by Telegram to public figures and organizations.

Telegram's in-app camera on both Android and iOS now supports QR code scanning by default. With this, users can open links directly in their favorite browser without switching apps. Additionally, folders now support custom emojis, allowing premium users to make their folders more expressive.
