<p>The new version of Telegram allows you to play media from services like YouTube, Vimeo or SoundCloud directly from Telegram – without having to leave the app. Just tap on the preview of a link to an external media to view the video or listen to the audio file (speaking of audio files, they are now beautifully rendered and played in chats).</p>

<p>The new attachment menu in Android is not only gorgeous and beautifully animated; it also allows you to share contacts, audios and recent photos way easier:</p>

<br>
</div></center>

<p>All of your communications in Telegram are already instantly searchable with the <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/shared-files#multisearch">multi-purpose search field</a>, but now you can also search for messages in specific chats. Just tap on the name of the chat in iOS or toggle the Actions menu in Android:</p>

<a href="/file/811140207/1/_2sA3cqdcXM/ba145a87cf59c6f3b0" target="_blank"><img src="/file/811140207/1/_2sA3cqdcXM/ba145a87cf59c6f3b0" title="Looks pretty much the same on Android" style="max-height: 330px; padding: 10px 5px" /></a>
<br><br>
</div></center>

<p>You will see the number of occurrences of the keyword in the chat and will be able to navigate through them with the up/down arrows. Enjoy!</p>
