Messages that disappear after being viewed once came to Telegram. Telegram users will now be able to send one-time audio and video messages.

Telegram introduces a number of new features with the January update, including audio and video messages that disappear after being viewed once, stopping recording when sending video or audio messages, and reading time controls.

Send Telegram one-time voice message

Telegram introduced the ability to share photos and videos that can be viewed once with the September update last year. Now this feature has been extended to include audio and video messages. The steps to send audio and video messages that disappear after being viewed once are not much different from WhatsApp. The following steps are followed to send one-time audio and video messages in Telegram:

  • Tap the microphone icon on the chat screen.
  • Voice message recording will start.
  • Swipe up.
  • Press the view once icon.
  • Share by tapping the arrow sign.

Telegram also offers the option to pause and resume recording for audio and video messages from the same menu.The messaging app now gives users more control over their private conversations. In private one-to-one chats, users will now be able to see when the recipient has read their message. For those who value additional privacy, this feature can be disabled in the settings.

New features exclusive to Telegram Premium

Telegram continues to offer special features to its premium users. Premium users now have the ability to hide their own reading time while retaining the option to view someone else's reading time when shared publicly.

Again, premium users can now customise their messaging experience by choosing who can initiate a conversation with them first. Options include "Everyone" or a more restricted setting of "My Contacts and Premium Users".Telegram's new features follow a series of recent updates aimed at improving user experience and privacy. Last month, the app introduced features to make channel discovery and customisation easier, as well as improved calls with end-to-end encryption designed to drain the device's battery less. Telegram has also turned its attention to bots, enabling bots to react to messages, manage reactions, quotes and links, and even post replies to other chats or threads.
