As mentioned earlier, Telegram has announced a host of new features. These include Topics 2.0, auto delete all chats, temporary QR codes and more. Topics in Telegram are now available for groups of 100 members or more. Groups with topics open in a sleek two-column mode, so you can access your other chats as quickly as before. To switch to the latest topic, users can simply tap on the new button in the preview.
Telegram is also adding the ability to set a global auto-delete timer to automatically remove messages in all new chats. The platform says that existing chats will not be affected, but the feature can easily expand your auto-delete settings to any of the existing chats. To do so, simply head to Settings > Privacy & Security > Auto-Delete Messages.
Another feature coming with the latest update of Telegram is the ability to generate a temporary QR code if you don't have a username and are hiding your phone number from everyone. Scanning this code will also allow other Telegram users to add you as a contact without knowing your phone number.
