Telegram v.3.10 introduces Drafts, Picture-in-Picture and other goodies
Telegram for iOS was updated to version 3.10.1 today.
Picture in Picture is now available not just for YouTube and Vimeo videos, but for all videos in Telegram.
Chat preview (formerly only with 3D Touch) is now available for all iOS devices. Simply tap and hold on a chat to preview without opening.
We've also made a few minor improvements and fixed a couple of bugs. The app will no longer crash when sending videos to channels, and if you've seen an indestructible empty chat in the list, it will go away now (try terminating and restarting the app if it lingers).
Stay tuned for more updates on all platforms.
