<p>Today's update adds <strong>faster loading</strong>, <strong>better quality</strong> and <strong>new speed controls</strong> to videos, <strong>last edit</strong> timestamps, attaching <strong>media</strong> to sent messages, <strong>increased limits</strong> for mini apps, new <strong>monetization options</strong> for developers – and much more.</p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="faster-video-loading-better-quality"href="#faster-video-loading-better-quality"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Faster Video Loading, Better Quality</h4>
<p>For videos newly uploaded to <strong>large channels</strong>, the video player now <strong>automatically selects</strong> a quality level based on your connection to save your data and <strong>load videos faster</strong>. Users can also <strong>manually select</strong> their preferred quality level –<em>High</em>, <em>Medium</em> or <em>Low</em>.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>On iOS, we've also made it easier to switch to <strong>Picture-in-Picture Mode</strong>– simply <strong>swipe up</strong> to continue watching as you browse your chats. Swiping down still closes the video.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>To adjust video quality, tap the <imgclass="emoji"src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/E29A99.png"width="20"height="20"alt="⚙️"/> gear icon in the video player.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Since users no longer have to watch videos in the resolution in which they were uploaded, large channel owners can afford to post <strong>better-quality videos</strong>. They will no longer need to pre-process their videos for the best viewing experience — Telegram will now <strong>optimize</strong> each uploaded video for them and compress it in several qualities.</p>
<p>Users on weaker connections will automatically get more compressed videos, while those with high-speed internet can enjoy the <strong>full resolution</strong>.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p><ahref="https://telegram.org/evolution#march-2023">For years</a>, videos on Telegram have supported <strong>multiple speed settings</strong>– and now users can <strong>seamlessly speed up</strong> videos with new gestures without tapping through settings.</p>
<p>Just hold down on the right side of a video to activate <strong>2x speed</strong>– and slide right gradually to increase the speed to <strong>up to 2.5x</strong>. Release your finger to return to normal speed.</p>
<!--<p>Just in case you want to control time.</p>-->
</div>
<blockquote>
<p>On Android, you can <strong>double-tap</strong> on the left or right side of the video to <strong>skip 10 seconds</strong> in either direction.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="add-media-to-sent-messages"href="#add-media-to-sent-messages"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Add Media to Sent Messages</h4>
<p>If you forget to attach your photo, video or file before sending, you can quickly <strong>edit the message</strong> to <strong>add media</strong> in just two taps – rather than deleting it and starting over.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>Edited messages now <strong>show a timestamp</strong>, displaying when the message was <strong>last edited</strong>. If a message has been edited <strong>more than once</strong>, it will show the time of the <strong>most recent edit</strong>.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>Your messages in <strong>small groups</strong> and private chats also have <strong>detailed read receipts</strong>– showing the time when your message was opened by each member.</p>
<p>Group and channel owners can use the new format <code>#hashtag@username</code> for hashtags that only show posts and stories <strong>from the same chat</strong> when tapped.</p>
<p>For example, a user tapping <em>#travel</em> would see search results from all of Telegram – while <em>#travel@durov</em> would immediately open results only from the <ahref="https://t.me/durov">@durov</a> channel.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>Typing a hashtag in the message bar of public chats shows a <strong>special menu</strong>– allowing you to add the chat's username to the hashtag in just <strong>one tap</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Only <strong>public posts</strong> and <strong>public stories</strong> appear in global hashtag searches.</p>

<h4><aclass="anchor"name="telegram-ads-in-bots"href="#telegram-ads-in-bots"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Telegram Ads in Bots</h4>
<p>Bots and mini apps are now able to participate in <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/monetization-for-channels">revenue sharing</a> from <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/monetization-for-channels#ton-based-ads">Telegram Ads</a>– giving services another way to help <strong>support their development</strong>.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<!--<p>Just in case you want to shout out to the mini app crowd.</p>-->
</div>
<blockquote>
<p>Telegram Ads are <strong>unobtrusive</strong> and <strong>privacy-conscious</strong>– supporting Telegram's <ahref="https://t.me/durov/142">sustainable monetization strategy</a>, while sharing <strong>50% of ad revenue</strong> with content creators and bot developers.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="increased-message-limits-for-bots"href="#increased-message-limits-for-bots"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Increased Message Limits for Bots</h4>
<p>All Telegram bots can send up to <strong>30 messages</strong> per second to their users – completely <strong>free of charge</strong>. To better accommodate large-scale services, bots are now able to enable <strong>increased message limits</strong> and send up to <strong>1000 messages</strong> per second.</p>
<p>Sending messages with increased limits costs just <strong>0.1 Star per message</strong>, paid with Telegram Stars from the bot's balance. Developers can receive Stars from <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/superchannels-star-reactions-subscriptions#paid-media-for-bots">paid content</a> and <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/telegram-stars#digital-goods-and-services">digital products</a> in their bot.</p>
<!-- > Developers can [go here](LINK) to see how to turn on increased message limits for their bots.-->
