Send Photos in Higher Quality. Important images can be sent in higher resolution – with 4 times the pixels of standard photos.
To send photos in HD, tap the 🎥 button in the photo editor or select 'Send in High Quality' from the 📎 attachment menu.
Photos can also be sent as a file – at their original resolution and file size.
Trim Voice Messages. After recording a voice message, you can move the start and end points to cut out a specific section.
This option appears after swiping up to lock recording – which also allows you to preview the message or add more audio.
Topic Tabs. Groups with topics support a streamlined tab layout that lets users jump between conversations in one tap.
Tapping the tab bar changes its layout – from a larger bar on the side to a minimalist bar on the top.
To enable topics in a group or turn on the tab layout, go to Group Settings > Topics.
Send Direct Messages to Channels. You can send direct messages to channels to chat privately with owners and admins.

To message to a channel, tap the 💬 message bubble in the bottom bar of the channel. To turn on direct messages for your channel, go to Channel Settings > Direct Messages.
