<p>This update brings a new power saving mode, optimizes Telegram for lower-end Android devices, adds even more playback speed options, and much more.</p>
<p>Telegram's beautiful animations and lightweight effects are optimized to make any phone feel powerful, but can now be disabled to <strong>extend battery life</strong> and <strong>improve performance</strong> on older devices.</p>
<p>Power Saving Mode can be set to <strong>automatically turn on</strong> when your battery reaches a certain percent – with <strong>individual toggles</strong> that let you disable specific effects.</p>

<p>iOS users can also use power saving settings to <strong>limit background updates</strong>– although we do not recommend doing this, because you will see your app <em>'Updating…'</em> a lot more often.</p>
<p>For Android, we've manually tested more than <strong>200</strong> device types to see how well Telegram performs and created <strong>optimized default settings</strong> to ensure all users get the best experience.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can toggle Power Saving mode or tweak individual settings for autoplay, animations, and effects in <em>Settings > Power Saving</em>.</p>
<p>For <ahref="https://telegram.org/evolution">years</a>, Telegram users have been able to <strong>change the playback speed</strong> for videos, podcasts, voice and video messages. Now you can have even more flexibility by <strong>holding</strong> the <imgclass="icon"src="/file/464001821/10013/UYLTCSDWb_U.2377/76c42bed3869d85159"alt="2x"> button to choose any speed between <strong>0.2x–2.5x</strong>.</p>
