Messaging app Telegram is developing a group video calling feature that would be launched later this year, the company
announced today. The move would help its customers keep in touch with loved ones all through the coronavirus pandemic and after, the messaging app said.
While Telegram did not reveal many details about the feature, it appears to be taking a dig at other video calling services facing
privacy issues and security scandals. In response, Zoom has
promised to improve security features and upgrades. However, that won't stop competition from taking advantage of its blunders.
The Verge
said Telegram had faced its share of complaint from the security network in part as its end-to-end encryption needed to be
enabled manually.
Telegram, however, remains to be one of the most trusted messaging apps worldwide, Engadget
reported. The messaging app allows its users to delete messages retroactively. Throughout the Hong Kong protests, Telegram introduced a
feature to protect customers' identities better.
Telegram also detailed a collection of new features today. Users can now add educational snippets to quizzes created on the carrier. At the same time, a new sticker directory would also be seen. Its macOS clients will also have unique features.
