<p>This update lets users <strong>share entire chat folders</strong> with one link, create <strong>custom wallpapers</strong> for individual chats, use <strong>web apps</strong> in any chat and more.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" name="shareable-chat-folders" href="#shareable-chat-folders"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Shareable Chat Folders</h4>
<p><a href="https://telegram.org/blog/folders">Chat folders</a> can now be <strong>shared with a link</strong> – inviting your friends or colleagues to dozens of work groups, collections of news channels, and more. With one tap, they will <strong>add the folder</strong> and <strong>instantly join</strong> all its chats.</p>

</div>


<p>Each chat folder supports <strong>multiple invite links</strong> allowing access to <strong>different chats</strong>. When creating a link, select the chats you&#39;d like to include – and give it a <strong>unique name</strong> to match, like <em>Interns</em> or <em>Managers</em>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can include <strong>any public chats</strong>, as well as any chats where you have the admin rights to <strong>add people</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you <strong>add more chats</strong> to your folder and <strong>update its link</strong>, members will see a suggestion to join the new chats.</p>

<p>Your <strong>favorite photos</strong> and <strong>color combinations</strong> can become custom wallpapers in specific chats to give conversations extra personality and make them stand out.</p>

<p>After setting a wallpaper, a <strong>special message</strong> will be sent in the chat that allows your chat partner to add the <strong>same wallpaper</strong> on their side – or they can create their own.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can set a custom wallpaper in any 1-on-1 chat.

<p>Telegram bots are able to host <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps">seamless web apps</a>, bringing <strong>services</strong> and <strong>utilities</strong> to millions of users – these <strong>web apps</strong> can now be launched in <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps#recent-changes">any chat</a>.</p>
<p>Web apps of bots that support this feature can be accessed via a <strong>direct link</strong> or by <strong>mentioning</strong> the bot&#39;s username in any chat on Telegram. For example, try typing <em>@durgerkingbot</em> (followed by a space) in any chat — or posting this link: <a href="https://t.me/DurgerKingBot/menu"><a href="https://t.me/DurgerKingBot/menu">https://t.me/DurgerKingBot/menu</a></a></p>

<p>When <strong>launched in a group</strong>, web apps can now support <strong>collaboration</strong> and <strong>multiplayer</strong> features for members.</p>

<p>You can create groups <strong>without adding members</strong> immediately – in case you want to set up permissions and pin a few messages first.</p>
<p>On the latest iPhones, profile pictures have a <strong>new animation</strong> – smoothly sliding into the dynamic island when you scroll on <strong>profiles</strong> and <strong>info pages</strong>.</p>
