<p>Today's update brings tools to help you control your <strong>downloads</strong>, swiftly share documents, re-arrange <strong>media albums</strong> before sending, turn your channel into a <strong>TV station</strong>, and more. </p>
<p>Telegram users can send files of any type up to <strong>2 GB</strong> each and access them from any device – with <strong>unlimited cloud storage</strong>. While files are actively downloading, a <strong>new icon</strong> will now appear in the Search bar.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>Tap the icon or go to the <em>'Downloads'</em> tab in Search to view and manage them –<strong>pause and resume</strong> all downloads or individual items, and select one to <strong>increase its priority</strong> or view it in chat.</p>
<p>When sending <strong>multiple photos or videos</strong>, tap <em>'… selected'</em> at the top of the panel to <strong>preview</strong> how the album will look in the chat when it’s sent – and <strong>rearrange</strong> or <strong>remove</strong> selected media.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 600px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>On iOS, the <imgclass="icon"src="/file/464001085/2/E4hNXSNQimQ.2503/bf6ffcab3cb3afd43d"alt="Attach"> attachment menu has been <strong>fully redesigned</strong> to <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/silent-messages-slow-mode#android-39s-new-attachment-menu">catch up</a> with the Android app. The in-app camera option is now <strong>beautifully integrated</strong> into the gallery and a new <strong>navigation bar</strong> gives quick access to photos, files, location sharing and more.</p>
<p>The updated <em>Files</em> tab shows <strong>recently sent files</strong> and lets you <strong>search</strong> for them by name.</p>

<p>Telegram's multi-national team includes many members from Ukraine. We wish for an immediate end to the conflict. In these troubled times, we find consolation in the fact that our work at Telegram helps people get quick access to critical information – from verified official statements to airstrike alerts that bring civilians to safety. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this war.</p>
<p>We will continue improving Telegram's ability to connect people in areas with limited coverage and withstand service disruptions.</p>
