Other perfect tricks for Telegram
Use saved messages
In Telegram there are no space limitations, there is a limit on individual files (up to 2 GB). This means that you can create your own cloud where you can store all your important files in "Saved messages", which is the conversation you have with yourself. There you can store everything as long as you do not delete that chat and have your account started in Telegram.
Create again the «Saved messages» if you deleted them
If by mistake you have deleted your private chat that you had in "Saved messages" you have a way to recover all the conversation that you had saved there so that you can continue storing content.
Click on the magnifying glass icon, which you will see at the top of the Telegram main menu.
Here you type "saved messages."
Click on the first result, write what you want to be able to see the private conversation again and save your messages again.
Pin messages to have them one click away
In a chat full of messages saved to store files, it is normal that you can take a long time looking for something specific. Therefore you can set messages that are important and so you can find what is faster by clicking on the upper part of the chat. Keep in mind that you can also pin messages in private conversations and in groups (in secret chats it is not possible).
In your saved messages find the important message to pin.
Click on the three points that you will see on the right side of the message and click on the "Set" option. Now you will find the message at the top of your chat.
Draft messages to send whenever you want
If you have ever wanted to keep a message, but not delete it, you have the option of drafts in Telegram that are multiplatform. This means that if we write it on the mobile it will be saved on the computer or on another mobile with the same account and without having to send it.
Receive news first
In Google Play you can find the Telegram application, but the APK is also available so you can install it on your Android. This way you can do it faster since developers usually update it earlier from the official page of the application than from the Android store.
Try what's new in development with the beta
And if the APK is not enough for you, you also have the option to test all the changes that are made in the development if you download the Telegram beta, for this you have to pay attention to the App Center because that is where it hangs. Although you must bear in mind that it is not updated automatically, but you must check if there is a new version available and you will have to select the update if there is one.
Use two Telegram accounts (or more) on the same mobile
Generally, today's instant messaging applications only allow you to have one account for each phone number, as is the case with WhatsApp. However, Telegram allows you to have up to three accounts at the same time as long as they are linked to a single phone number. This means that you can have up to three different Telegram sessions to have open on your Android. To do this, you must follow the following steps:
Open Telegram on your device and select on the top three lines of the menu to display the side menu or you can also scroll the screen from left to right.
Now click on the arrow that you will see under your avatar and nick, above.
Now click on "Add account" and then follow the usual steps to start the session.
