Telegram apps updated on all platforms with a slew of new features

Popular privacy-focused messaging app Telegram updated their app to version 5.2 with a large number of changes and improvements.

The update increases the size of groups to 200,000, and any group can now become a supergroup. Group admins can now control what media users can post, or stop them from posting at all. You also now have 5 seconds to cancel the deletion of chat history before it disappears forever.

The official changelog reads:

• Global permissions for groups. Restrict all members in any group from posting certain types of content.
• Unified group settings. Make groups public, set admins with granular permissions and toggle persistent history in any group.
• Undo deleting chats and clearing chat history within 5 seconds. Detailed confirmation dialogues when deleting chats.
• New sorting options in Contacts: by name or by last seen time.
•  New animations when uploading and downloading media.
