Tap or click the PiP icon in the media viewer on any app to switch to picture-in-picture mode, and pinch or drag to resize the player window. To close the window, drag it off screen or tap the ⓧ.

Bots can be added directly to chats from their profile, letting you instantly configure their rights. Bots can be added to groups as members or admins, but can only be added to channels as admins.

Bot Interfaces. Developers can create infinitely flexible interfaces for bots using JavaScript. With these, bots can replace any website – like online stores, games and services. Interface elements can update in real time, changing to match a user’s theme or night mode. Check out @DurgerKingBot to see them in action.

Replies in Forwarded Messages. Select messages to forward them to another chat. Forwards show replies to keep the full context of the conversation. You can control whether forwarded messages include a link to your account in Settings > Privacy and Security.

Silence or Mute Notifications. Disable alert sounds from a chat or turn off notifications completely. Select ‘Mute for’ on Android or ‘Mute until’ 🔔 on iOS to set a custom mute duration – pausing notifications for a specific period. You can also quickly mute chats from your chat list.
