The feature is bundled with other features like the ability to record voice chats, hand raising mechanism, invitational links, and voice chat titles. The update comes in wake of the popularity of voice-only messaging services like Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces. The app also lets s cancel forwarded messages, replace recipients, and listen to voice messages from where the s left off.

In a launched this feature only for group chats. s can also record the voice call to share with participants of the group/ channel who may have missed the live voice call session. Also, participants can see when the call is being recorded with a red light next to the name of the voice call.

Just like Clubhouse, participants remain muted and can ‘raise hands' to show the s that they are interested in speaking in the voice chats. The s have the discretion to select which listener can participate by viewing the bio of the listener. Telegram allows group and channel s to create links that will help participants to directly the voice call.
