The popular messaging app, Telegram for iOS is updated to version 9.5.1 which includes a new Power Saving mode, granular playback speed, and more.
Available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, the Telegram app delivers a unique communication experience to users by letting them send texts, photos, videos, stickers, and more in chats all protected by end-to-end encryption. It is also a great tool to host online communities as users can create group chats with up to 200,000 members, share any type of document up to 2GB, and even set up bots for specific tasks.
Earlier this month, Telegram for macOS introduced a power-saving mode to conserve Macs’ energy and improve users’ experience. Now, the power-saving feature is available on iOS which disables power-consuming animations and media to preserve power.
