The latest update of Telegram already allows users of this instant messaging platform assign any sound as ringtone for notifications. Said warning tone can be any short audio that has been downloaded from the mobile device as well as voice messages received through a chat.
Sounds assigned as notifications cannot be longer than 5 seconds
The only limits for these warning tones are that occupy less than 300 Kb and that their duration is less than five seconds. Custom notification tones can be assigned to both specific chats and chat groups.
To do this, you will have to access through the “Settings – Notifications and sounds” route. In case of not having sounds, the Telegram platform itself offers various options through a new channel, “Notification Sounds”.
But the new Telegram update isn’t just about custom sounds, since it also includes new custom modes that allow temporarily mute the app. Until now, you could pre-assign a period of silence to choose between one hour, eight hours or two days.
The new options are more practical by allowing, for example, muting Telegram for 30 minutes during a car ride or, for those who want to take a break or a long vacation, up to two months of muted Telegramperiods of time in which no notice will be received from the application, although it continues to be fully operational.
Within the latest update, other new features can be found in Telegram such as, in the case of the version for the iOS operating system, the improvement of the internal translation tool that is already capable of supporting as many languages as the Android version. In the case of Android, the app now allows you to modify the size of the window in PiP (Picture-in-Picture) mode.
