<p>Starting today you can <strong>pin several messages</strong> in every chat, get <strong>notified</strong> when friends get near if they are sharing their <strong>Live Location</strong>, send music as <strong>Playlists</strong>, and more.</p>
<p>Each chat now supports <strong>multiple pinned messages</strong>. To jump between them, simply tap the top bar several times – or use the <strong>new button</strong> to see all pinned messages on a <strong>separate page</strong>.</p>

<p>In addition to channels and groups, pinned messages now work in <strong>one-on-one chats</strong>.</p>

<p>When friends share their <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/live-locations">live location</a>, you can set up an alert that will <strong>notify you when they're close</strong>. Icons on the live location map also show <strong>which direction</strong> people are facing.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 400px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>When you send multiple songs at once, they'll be arranged together in a <strong>playlist</strong>– easier to play, forward, or comment on. Opening one of the songs will queue them all up in Telegram's built-in media player.</p>

<p>Sending multiple files together also displays them in one chat bubble. Just like with photo albums, you can always select each file or track individually.</p>
