<p>Starting with Telegram <strong>4.5</strong>, whenever you send multiple photos or videos they are grouped into <strong>albums</strong>. Each album can include up to <strong>10</strong> photos or videos, arranged in the chat as elegantly proportioned thumbnails. They will also result in one notification instead of ten on the recipient’s side.</p>
<p>From now on, you can control the order in which photos are sent. Each photo you choose for sharing will show its sequence number. This makes it easy to double check that your “before-and-after” pics will be sent in the correct order.</p>
<p>When viewing a photo from an album, you’ll see other pictures from the same group as thumbnails in the lower part of the screen. Profile photos are now also displayed this way, which makes them much easier to navigate.</p>
<p>You can now bookmark important messages by quickly forwarding them to <strong>Saved Messages</strong>– your personal cloud storage for any messages or media you may want to send or forward there. Each saved message has a <strong>“go to”</strong> button that takes you to the right place in the chat where it was originally posted.</p>
<p>The <strong>Saved Messages</strong> chat is always displayed at the top of the list in the <strong>sharing</strong> and <strong>forwarding</strong> menus. This makes it easy to save your favorites while keeping things as tidy as before.</p>
<p><strong>Saved Messages</strong> are easy to find: they are accessible both from the <strong>Chats</strong> list and from the side panel on Android / Settings on iOS.</p>
<p>Speaking of finding things, we’ve upgraded the global search algorithm used for finding public channels, groups and bots. Now you can search for public channels and bots by their titles, and most popular items will always be displayed first.</p>

<p>Channel admins can now pin messages to focus their subscribers’ attention on important announcements. This tool can also come in handy if you want to help new subscribers navigate your channel.</p>
