Cloud-based instant messaging service Telegram has rolled out its latest update with a host of features that include an extended library of emoji reactions, emoji on status for subscribers, improved experience for iOS s, smoother in-app transition animations and priority s on Android, auto-apply on icon packs for Android 13 s, and a change in format for a 's unique profile URL. The latest update builds on the messaging service's previous update that brought in an open source platform for creating custom animated emoji.

s can now also use custom emoji on their status updates instead of the limited 7 options available on the previous update. This will, however, replace their badge displayed next to their name.

The latest update also looks to streamline and simplify the experience for Android and iOS device s, through for receiving codes on their email address or using Sign in with Google options. iOS s will also see animations on the page that was previously only limited to Android s.

Telegram has also introduced a new unique link format for names – name.t.me, which the company claims will help s emphasise their name audibly while also eliminating the trouble of having to find the '/' key on the keyboard, prevalent on the previous link format.

All Android s will now be able to prioritise s by pressing and holding any items in the list to reorder them in order of preference in the 's' tab. Meanwhile, Android 13 s will have a smoother in-app experience through added transition animations for opening, closing, and changing media, while also having the option to choose thematic Telegram icons that will automatically match their phone's dark mode settings and accent color.
