9.3.1 2023-01-16

• HIDDEN MEDIA, ZERO STORAGE USAGE, NEW DRAWING TOOLS, PROFILE PICTURES FOR YOUR CONTACTS, AND PUPPIES
• We found someone's letter to Santa and implemented everything on the list:
• Hidden Media
• Media with spoiler effects. You can wrap photos and videos you send in a fuzzy cover by selecting media in the attachment menu and tapping (⋯) > Hide With Spoiler.
• Zero Storage Usage
• Auto-remove cached media. You can choose how long cached media is kept in Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – and add exceptions for specific chats.
• Removing media by type. Separate tabs with Media, Files, and Music from all chats let you quickly clear the largest files.
• Pie charts. The new design helps you see what's taking up space.
• Dwarves with calculators. Cache size is now calculated a lot faster.
• Reminder: All cached media you remove remains accessible in the cloud and can be re-downloaded if needed.
• Profile Pictures for Your Contacts
• Setting pictures for your contacts. You can choose your own picture for a contact – only you will see it on their profile.
• Suggested profile pictures. When editing your contacts, you can suggest a photo for their profile. It will take them just two taps to add the picture you suggested.
• Public profile pictures. If you only allow certain users to see your profile photos, you can set a public picture for everyone else.
• Ultimate profile picture privacy. You can set 'Who can see my profile photos' to 'Nobody' and add some users or groups as exceptions.
• Hiding Members in Large Groups
• Member list privacy. Owners of large groups can hide the list of members.
• The letter also mentioned taking over the world and a puppy, but we hope the real Santa will be able to handle that – now that we've done the rest.

• GLOBAL AUTO-DELETE, TOPICS 2.0 AND MUCH MORE
• Global Auto-Delete
• You can set a Global Auto-Delete Timer for all new chats and groups you create.

• The new menu in Settings > Privacy and Security > Auto-Delete Messages also lets you set up Auto-Delete for any of your existing chats faster.
• Topics 2.0

• Topics 2.0: Navigation

• When in a topic, you can hold the 'Back' button to go back to All Chats.
• Topics 2.0: Organization
• Up to 5 topics can be pinned to the top of the list.
• Each topic now supports multiple pinned messages.

• Badge counters for topics you never opened will have a lighter, less distracting color.
• Topics 2.0: General Topic
• A new 'General' topic is now included by default, containing service messages and the earlier message history from the group.
• Admins can rename the General topic or hide it in the topic list.
• Aggressive Anti-Spam for Groups
• Large groups can enable 'Aggressive Filtering' in Group Info > Administrators to remove more spam with automated algorithms.
• Admins help improve filtering by reporting any false positives in 'Recent Actions'.
