Telegram brings message reactions, bigger emoji animations and other features

Telegram announced the long-awaited features like themed QR codes, message reactions, and more in its latest update. Starting with this latest update, Telegram has added message reactions to its platform, where users can send reactions that attach to specific messages instead of sending as their own messages. They can now double tap a message to send a quick reaction. The app is also rolling out support for ‘Spoiler Alert’ messages that blur out selected portions of text until a user clicks on the option. Also, users can create themed QR codes for their accounts. It is also adding in-app translation for messages. Telegram 8.4 is live now in the Google Play Store, rolling out to all Android users. This feature works on all Android devices, but only iphones running IOS 15 or higher. Telegram will now be able to generate QR codes that will be available for users that have a public username. The app has also redesigned all the context menus for macos.
