How to install Telegram on Ubuntu Linux. Telegram is a WhatsApp alternative for Linux Ubuntu Systems. Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, it’s super fast, simple and free.
You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any of your phones, tablets or computers. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is cloud-based and heavily encrypted. As a result, you can access your messages from several devices at once, including tablets and computers, and share an unlimited number of photos, videos and files (doc, zip, mp3, etc) of up to 1,5 GB.
Latest Telegram Update for Ubuntu
Theme Editor 2.0
Using the new theme editor in Chat Settings (or Appearance Settings on iOS), you can quickly tweak the style of elements in Telegram chats and add awesome gradients to both your messages and your background.
Once you’re done editing, you can quickly share the result of your work with friends so that they can continue tuning your theme.
New Predefined Colors
Not in a creative mood? Not a problem – we’ve added a boatload of new predefined color schemes
for Telegram’s default themes. The theme of your dreams may be just a
few taps away, try the new options under Classic, Night, Day, etc.
Send When Online
Some things are best served fresh, like sushi and today‘s hot memes.
For messages that have to be delivered at the perfect moment, we’ve
added the option to schedule messages to be sent when your recipient comes online.
Now you can slide your message in with the morning post – or time a funky duck sticker for the exact moment a meeting gets boring.
Note that this option is only available if you are allowed to see your recipient’s online status. You can still sneak out of bed without anyone noticing.
Improved Venue Sharing
Location sharing has been updated to make finding venues
easier. You can now tap a place directly on the map to select it,
rather than scrolling through a list of all the power converter
purveyors in Tosche Station.
View Search Results as a List
The Search function allows you to easily jump
between messages containing a keyword – or sent by a particular person,
or even from a certain day. Tapping the bottom bar will now switch to list view in case you want to see all the results on one page.
On iOS, you can also select several messages without leaving Search Mode. (Before you ask, this feature was already available on Android.)
Podcast and Audiobook Support
You’ve always been able to share files of up to 1,5 GB, but podcasts and audiobooks now get special treatment. Telegram apps will remember your last position when resuming playback of audio files longer than 20 minutes.
If you’d like to make podcasts get to the point a little faster, try the new 2x button (which you already know from voice messages). We’ve eliminated voice chipmunking in 96.8% of cases.
On iOS, you can skip forward and back with high-precision scrubbing: just hold on the progress bar and slide your finger down, then left or right.
