<p>OK, so there is a celebration in the Android camp today. Telegram for Android was <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/android-2-0">redesigned and loaded with new features</a>. But what about the iPhone fan army? It turns out, the iOS app got something just as great.</p>
<p>In addition to granular controls for <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/privacy-revolution">hiding your Last Seen</a> and <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/privacy-revolution#self-destructing-accounts">other privacy settings</a>, today’s iPhone update introduces a great media feature –<strong>Animated GIF search</strong>. </p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="how-does-this-work"href="#how-does-this-work"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>How Does This Work?</h4>
<p>You can find and share images from the Web using the <strong>“Find Images”</strong> attachment option. Today the Web image search got two new tabs –<strong>GIFs</strong> and <strong>Recent</strong>. The GIFs tab allows you to search through thousands of great GIF animations, <ahref="https://giphy.com"><strong>powered by Giphy</strong></a>. Just type in a keyword and have fun. </p>
<p>All images from the Web and GIFs you share will be saved in the <strong>Recent</strong> tab. You can go that tab whenever you're out of words and instantly share any of them just in three quick taps. If you forward an incoming GIF to a contact, that animation will also be available from the Recent tab. And yes, you can send multiple GIFs at once.</p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="one-more-thing"href="#one-more-thing"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>One More Thing</h4>
<p>Another media feature we added to the iPhone app today are previews for YouTube and Instagram links. If a message contains nothing but a link to YouTube or Instagram, it will be transformed into a thumbnail with relevant information, such as title and duration. Check it out!</p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="but-i-39m-on-android"href="#but-i-39m-on-android"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>..but I'm on Android</h4>
<p>All of this is coming to our Android app in the next updates. So for now, sit back and enjoy your new <ahref="/blog/privacy-revolution">privacy settings</a> and <ahref="/blog/android-2-0">material design</a>. Soon we'll have GIFs and images for you as well!</p>
