<p>For us, your private data is <strong>sacred</strong>. We never use your data to target ads. We never disclose your data to third parties. We store only what is absolutely necessary for Telegram to work. </p>
<p>In <strong>2013</strong>, we gave millions of people power over their data with end-to-end encryption.</p>
<p>Today, we are giving hundreds of millions of users <strong>complete control</strong> of any private conversation they have ever had. You can now choose to delete any message you have sent or received from both sides in <strong>any</strong> private chat. The messages will disappear for both you and the other person – without leaving a trace. </p>
<p>The “Unsend” feature we introduced 2 years ago worked only for messages sent by you and only for 48 hours. Now you can “unsend” messages you have <strong>received</strong> as well, and there is <strong>no time limit</strong>. You can also delete any private chat entirely from both your and the other person's device with just two taps. </p>

<p>To make your privacy complete, we’ve also introduced a way to restrict who can <strong>forward</strong> your messages. When this setting is enabled, your forwarded messages will no longer lead back to your account — they'll just display an unclickable name in the “from” field. This way people you chat with will have no verifiable proof you ever sent them anything. </p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 480px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>Look for “Forwarded messages” in <em>Privacy and Security</em> settings. By the way, you can now also restrict who can view your profile photos.</p>
<p>Since the Settings section keeps getting bigger, we’ve added a <strong>search tool</strong> that allows you to quickly find any <strong>settings</strong> you need.</p>

<h3><aclass="anchor"name="emoji-search-and-gifs"href="#emoji-search-and-gifs"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Emoji Search and GIFs</h3>
<p>The GIF and stickers search has been upgraded on all mobile platforms – it now looks better and finds more cats. Any GIF you find can be previewed by tapping and holding. Sticker packs now have <strong>icons</strong>, which makes selecting the right pack easier. Large GIFs and video messages on Telegram are now streamed, so you can start watching them without waiting for the download to complete.</p>
<p>On Telegram for <strong>Android</strong>, you can now use keywords in many languages to find any <strong>emoji</strong>. If we are missing a keyword for an emoji, you’re welcome to suggest it <ahref="https://translations.telegram.org/en/emoji">here</a>– emoji search will constantly be improving without the need to update Telegram.</p>
<divclass="blog_video_player_wrap"style="max-width: 480px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<p>You’ll also see a list of related emoji when typing a message. If you like an emoji enough to send it without any accompanying text, the emoji will appear larger in the chat on Android (iOS coming soon).</p>
<h3><aclass="anchor"name="voiceover-and-talkback"href="#voiceover-and-talkback"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>VoiceOver and TalkBack</h3>
<p>We’ve added support for accessibility features – VoiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android. These gesture-based technologies give you spoken feedback so that you can use Telegram without seeing the screen.</p>
