<p>Sending the wrong picture by accident is rarely fun. On Telegram, it was already possible to delete the message for everyone and send a new one instead. Now you can just <strong>replace photos or videos</strong> with the correct versions right away:</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 480px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>Start editing the message, then tap the paperclip button to replace the attached media. You can also <strong>add captions</strong> to photos or videos that didn't have one.</p>

<p>You'll like this one if your friends enjoy sending long and thoughtful voice notes. From now on, you can switch to <strong>2X playback</strong> and hear people get to the point <strong>faster</strong>.</p>
