<p>In <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/photo-editor-and-passcodes#photo-editor">2015</a>, Telegram released the most powerful <strong>photo editor</strong> to be implemented in a messaging app, letting you enhance image quality and add drawings, stickers and text to pictures. Today we're upgrading the media editor with support for <strong>animated stickers</strong> and editing <strong>videos</strong>.</p>

The second rule of Crab Pool is: No Ducks."alt="Demo Video: New Media Editor">
<p>You can now <strong>enhance video quality</strong> automatically in two taps – or manually tweak a dozen parameters, like brightness or saturation, until your inner Kubrick is satisfied.</p>
<p>For perfect paintbrush precision, <strong>zoom in</strong> on photos or videos when <strong>drawing</strong> on them to get every line just right. Your made-up makeup – or your classmates' handlebar moustaches – will never look the same.</p>

<p>Most importantly, you can now add <strong>animated stickers</strong> to any photo or video – just in case you were looking for ways to decorate your dinner table with <ahref="https://t.me/addstickers/HotCherry">twerking cherries</a>. Putting an animated sticker on a photo turns it into a <strong>GIF</strong>:</p>

<p>The GIF panel has been upgraded with a new <strong>Trending</strong> section and <strong>emoji-based tabs</strong> that cover the most popular emotions. You won't ever need to wrestle with words again when looking for Robert Downey Jr. <imgclass="emoji"src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F9984.png"width="20"height="20"alt="🙄"/></p>

<p>We've also improved <strong>loading times</strong> for GIFs in the panel, so you can find that perfect GIF faster. Hold on any GIF you haven't sent before to save it to your <strong>Recent</strong> tab for later use.</p>
<p>If you have many chats and use <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/folders">folders</a>, hold on any chat in the list to add it to one of your folders. This also works for removing chats from folders. Last call for spring cleaning!</p>

<p>Android users get a few extra features to make their app slicker. Messages now get sent, edited and deleted with new <strong>smooth animations</strong>. We've also improved the <strong>video player</strong> to make sure that controls and long captions get out of your way quickly. Videos shorter than 30 seconds get looped automatically and voice messages play with even more wavy animations.</p>

<p><strong>Cache management</strong> interfaces on Android got a facelift as well. Not only can you keep Telegram's storage footprint on your device incredibly small – you can do it in <strong>style</strong>. See <em>Settings > Data and Storage > Storage Usage</em>.</p>
<p>Last but not least, monkeys. You know that protecting your account with a <strong>Two-Step Verification password</strong> is a good idea, but we thought we'd sleep easier at night if we knew that a monkey was overseeing the process. No, this is totally not a coded message, go see for yourself.</p>
<p>And that's it for today. Enjoy making post-ironic memes with the new tools while we go back to the dungeons and continue working on you-know-what (and not only that).</p>
