Telegram's latest update adds new features, such as spoiler formatting for media, new design tools, and more.
Along with the ability to add spoiler formatting for text, Telegram now allows you to add spoiler formatting for images and videos as well. This appears as a shiny layer with a blur on top of it, which hides the spoiler content unless the user taps on it.
New storage management features let you configure separate auto-delete settings for saved media from Private Chats, Groups, and Channels – with exceptions for specific conversations. You can see what’s taking up space and clear it out from dedicated tabs for Media, Files , and Music.

If you're an iOS, Telegram has announced that it has reduced the time it takes for the app to calculate the size of its cache, something Android have been enjoying for a while now. This has resulted in a significantly reduced loading time for the pie chart showing the space used on iOS.
The app now also includes updated drawing tools, with a new blur tool and 5 high-precision color tools, including a new eyedropper. The drawing tools automatically change width based on drawing speed and automatically smooth lines. Text size, font, and background can be changed when adding photos or videos, while custom animated emoji are available even for users who are not Telegram Premium.
You can now also set a custom profile picture for your contacts, which will only be displayed to you. The picture can also be suggested to your contact, so they can set it themselves with just two taps. You can also have a public profile picture for your account, which can be separate from the one you have for your contacts.

The update has now been released on Android and iOS.
