Telegram had support for emojis long time ago, but the developers saw that they might not be enough to express emotions. Therefore, the application has interactive emoji, which appears with additional effects across the entire screen of the device. The recipient will see such a message immediately the moment the sender clicks on it. Selected themes and interactive emojis are currently only available in private chats.
The group chats got also improvements. Users will now be able to see which members of the small group chats have read the messages they send. Previously, when someone read a message, a corresponding notification appears, but it was not clear who exactly saw the message.
