Telegram messaging client application update version 5.4.0 review

Project repository

https://github.com/TelegramOrg/Telegram-Android

A few days ago, we witnessed the latest update for telegram messaging client's applications, and being that telegram messaging client applications are available on different platforms, the Android version 5.4.0 and iOS version 5.4.1 were released.

Like I said in my previous telegram messaging client article, I have no idea if an update was released for other platforms because, telegram messaging client applications are available for Mac OS, Windows Phone, Windows NT, Linux, iOS, and Android.

In my previous article on telegram messaging client’s application update, I omitted some features based on the fact that my blog articles are based on my personal experience, and at that time when I was writing that article, I had not used some of those features. So I figured it will be best to use those features before writing about them.

List of features on version 5.4.0

New settings for automatic media download. Control data consumption with granular precision or quickly switch between presets (Low/Medium/High).
Autoplaying videos. Videos in chats start playing automatically, press the volume buttons on your device to turn sound on.
Logout alternatives. The logout menu now shows alternative options to logging out.

While writing my previous telegram messaging client’s article, the only feature I discussed was the automatic media download feature which was implemented on the just-released telegram messaging client application version 5.4.0. Now, I'm ready to provide a succinct review on those other features that were implemented which i neglected.

The new telegram messaging client application update has become a frenzied topic in the mouth of many users due to its unprecedented features which were implemented by the developers. It is without doubts that great applications are known for its remarkable features, and in the case of the telegram messaging client application, we have the developers to applaud for that.

Today’s talking points

Introduction

The telegram messaging client application is an ideal application for voice calls, Bot implementation, messaging, and sharing of media files. It provides encryption for voices calls and secret chat, but messages and media files are client-server encrypted.

The telegram messaging client application is an open source application that is freely distributed. It was developed and launched by the Russian brothers, Pavel Durov and Nikolai Durov in 2013.

The source code for telegram messaging client application is made available on its Github account, but there's a clause. The source code for newly released updates is not always available until a few weeks after its release date.

The telegram messaging client application has grown over the years, and it currently has over 100,000,000 active users across the world.

Autoplaying videos

Autoplaying videos feature is a unique feature though it is not a rare feature. If you have an account on the Instagram application, then, you've seen videos playing automatically.

Having an Autoplaying videos option on telegram messaging client application is really cool and I love it. It will enable videos shared within a conversation to play automatically.

I would have added this feature to my previous article which was based on the telegram messaging client application update, but because I needed to experience how this feature works so that I can provide a succinct review on it.

I did try this feature, and I must say that it works perfectly fine, just that you're required to use your volume key in order to turn on the sound.

Logout alternatives

Logout alternatives is a feature that I never thought could be implemented on the telegram messaging client application. The feature is unique, and with it, you can easily switch between multiple accounts.

The logout alternative feature is accessed when the logout feature is clicked. When this is done, the telegram messaging client application displays different options such as

  • Add another account,
  • Set a password,
  • Clear cache,
  • Change phone number,
  • Contact support.

  • Add another account feature is a feature which allows users to add multiple accounts on the telegram messaging client application so that instead of logging out an account in order to log in another one, they can switch between two accounts easily.

  • Set a password feature is another useful feature that is added within the telegram messaging client application, it enables a user to protect his telegram messaging client application with a master password.

  • Clear cache feature is a feature found within the logout alternative feature which is implemented on the telegram messaging clientapplication. It is useful when it comes to cleaning of cache memory so that space can be freed.

  • The change phone number is a wonderful feature that I love so much. You might not know when your mobile number will be displaced, but with the help of this feature, it will be easy to move media files and chats to a new mobile number.
  • Contact support feature is here to assist you with any difficultyyou are facing. If you're in need of help, you can easily click on this feature, and all your problems will be solved as long as you follow the given instructions.

Conclusion

The Telegram messaging client application is an excellent choice if you wish to up your media sharing and chatting game. It is unique, and it has lots of features implemented which will grant your heart desires.

I have used the telegram messaging client application for over two years now, and I can honestly say that it is a wonderful application to go for.

The most amazing thing I love about the telegram messaging client application is its ability to contain more users in its groups and channels. I felt really bad when I could not add more than 500 people on my WhatsApp group, but on telegram messaging client application, I was able to achieve my goal.

If you choose to join the telegram messaging client application, you'll definitely have a reason to stick around.

Thanks you.

Hello, @abasifreke!

Thank you for another informative blog post about Telegram. You did a good job in providing useful information about the recent developments, and I appreciate the effort. Keep it up!

On the content side, I have mixed feelings about your contribution. Even though I like all the information provided, I have to admit that I was expecting to see more editorial content in your review. The post definitely includes valuable information about the project, but tells the readers so little about your personal views and experience of using the features mentioned in your review. I appreciate the fact that you did actually provide some information on this matter, but I wanted to read more about that.

That said, the post did have issues of grammar and style, but not to the level where it hurt the readability of your text. I'd be happy to provide a few examples in a follow-up comment.

I look forward to your next contribution.
