Telegram messaging app has now added support for unlimited video live streams with its latest update. Version 8.0 of the app, which is available now on both iOS and Android.
You can now live streams to an unlimited number of viewers, up from the previous limit of 1,000. The app also got new features like more options when forwarding messages, and a shortcut to switch between channels.
According to Telegram, “The power to run your own TV station is here, right in your pocket.” Increasing the number of viewers on video calls opens the door to Telegram becoming a full-on mobile live streaming platform to compete with others in the same field.
Telegram also allows as many as 30 users to broadcast at once.
You can now also remove captions and hide sender names when forwarding messages and media. Scrolling to the bottom of a text channel now includes a new option to quickly swipe up to jump to the next unread channel. Other interface tweaks include a new “choosing a sticker” status in chats, and an unread messages counter in comment threads.
You can also deselect messages you don’t want to send or change the recipient if you tapped the wrong chat.
