New Telegram update brings ability to edit sent messages
Popular messaging app Telegram has rolled out a new update that - among other things - brings along the ability to edit messages after they've been sent. The new feature - which can be used within 2 days after posting a message - works across all Telegram chats, including groups as well as one-on-one conversations.

"Simply tap and hold on a message, then press ‘Edit’. If you're on desktop, press the up arrow button to edit your last message," the company explained in a blog post. "The messages will display a small ‘edited’ label so that it's easy to tell which were altered."
In addition, the update also brings along the ability to mention people even if they don't have a user name. "Just type the @ symbol and select whoever you would like to address."

Moving on, the update also includes a new People list in Search which can be used to get to your recent chats much faster, Telegram claims.

I wish more of my friends used Telegram, hence why the app isn't installed on my phone.

100M+ is really not much compare to 1billion of Whatsapp monthly active users. So, you were saying?

You think 100M+ Telegram users is not much?
