Secure Group Calls. Telegram's secure calls can be easily expanded to hold up to 200 users – all protected by end-to-end encryption.

Telegram calls can be used for anything from spontaneous chats to job interviews:
• Add other users to an active call by tapping in the top corner.
• Start a call with several users via the 'Calls' tab or Settings > Recent Calls – tap 'New Call' and select multiple people.
• Send a link to the call to create scheduled meetings or invite multiple groups.

Group Calls: Encryption Emoji. Telegram Calls are protected by end-to-end encryption to ensure your conversations are 100% private.

To confirm this, simply compare the emoji on your screens – if they match for all participants, the call is completely secure.

The emoji shown in the call will update any time a user joins or leaves.

Group Calls: Invite via Link. Telegram Calls support invite links – which allow you to schedule calls in advance, invite users from several chats and let others join at their own convenience.

To create a call link ahead of time, go to the 'Calls' tab or Settings > Recent Calls and tap Start New Call > Create Call Link.

To share a link to an active call, tap 'Invite Via Link' at the bottom of the list of participants.

Call links can also be converted to a scannable QR code.

Granular Gift Settings. In Settings > Privacy and Security > Gifts, you can:
• Add a gift icon to the message bar for you and your chat partners.
• Control whose gifts are shown on your profile.
• Select which gift types other users can send you – like 'Limited-Edition' or 'Unique'.

Gift Marketplace. You can use Telegram Stars to buy thousands of rare gifts from other users in a safe and simple interface.

The marketplace has advanced search filters to quickly find a specific model, backdrop or symbol. Search results can also be sorted by price, date or number.

To browse the marketplace, go to Settings > Send a Gift and open the 'Resale' tab.

Sell Your Gifts for Stars. Your collectible gifts can be resold to other users for Telegram Stars.

To add your gift to the marketplace, open it on your profile, tap the 'Sell' button and set your price in Stars.

Gifts you list in the marketplace are also marked as 'On Sale' on your profile – in case friends or followers are interested.

Post Several Stories at Once. The story editor lets you select, edit and post multiple photos or videos at the same time.

On Android, simply tap to choose multiple items from your gallery – and on iOS, tap ‘Select’.

Split Videos into Several Stories. When posting a long video to your story, the story editor automatically splits the video into a series of stories.
