</div>
<p>Today marks <strong>seven years</strong> of Telegram. In 2013, we began as a small app focused on secure messaging and have since grown into a platform with <strong>over 400M</strong> users. Telegram is now one of the <strong>top 10</strong> most-downloaded apps and is used all over the world to stay in touch with family, collaborate with classmates and coordinate coworkers. </p>
<p>We did not reach this milestone on our own Telegram has never advertised and every user has come to the app because of a recommendation from someone they trust. Strong principles and quality features speak for themselves, and millions of you listened. We&#39;ve heard you as well, and will continue to develop features that make Telegram much more than just a messaging app. Today we&#39;re adding the one you&#39;ve been asking for fast and secure <strong>video calls</strong>.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="video-calls" href="#video-calls"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Video Calls</h3>
<p>2020 highlighted the need for face-to-face communication, and our <strong>alpha version</strong> of video calls is now available on both Android and iOS. You can start a video call from your contact&#39;s profile page, and <strong>switch video on or off</strong> at any time during voice calls. Like all other video content on Telegram, video calls support <strong>picture-in-picture mode</strong>, allowing you to scroll through chats and multitask while maintaining eye contact.</p>

</div>
<p>All video calls are protected with <strong>end-to-end encryption</strong>. To confirm your connection, compare the <strong>four emoji</strong> shown on-screen for you and your chat partner if they match, your call is <strong>100% secured</strong> by time-tested encryption also used in Telegram&#39;s Secret Chats and Voice Calls. You can find more details on <a href="https://core.telegram.org/api/end-to-end/video-calls">this page</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Our apps for Android and iOS have <a href="https://core.telegram.org/reproducible-builds">reproducible builds</a>, so anyone can <strong>verify encryption</strong> and confirm that their app uses the <strong>exact same</strong> <a href="https://telegram.org/apps#source-code">open source code</a> that we publish with each update.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Video calls will receive more features and improvements in future versions, as we work toward <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/400-million">launching</a> <strong>group video calls</strong> in the coming months. But for this midyear milestone, you can now enjoy a little one-on-one time with those closest to you, whether they&#39;re in the other room or on another continent.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="more-animated-emoji" href="#more-animated-emoji"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>More animated emoji</h3>
<p>To help you celebrate, we&#39;ve added another batch of new <strong>animated emoji</strong>. To get one of these <img class="emoji" src="//telegram.org/img/emoji/40/F09F9187.png" width="20" height="20" alt="👇" /> in a chat, simply send a message with a single emoji.</p>
