Telegram has launched a new messaging app: Telegram X. It promises to make it faster and easier to chat with your friends
After being launched a few months ago on the App Store, Telegram X, the new instant messaging app made by the Russian company, also arrives on the Google Play Store. For the moment it is an independent app from Telegram, but it is not excluded that in the future Telegram X will take its place.
The Russian company aims to make a messaging app that is faster, leaner and easier to use. Although Telegram has had many updates, the Russian company has also been pursuing a parallel project over the past two years to make Telegram X. The application is very different from the “original” one: the code for development is completely different without any link to the libraries used for the “first Telegram”. The application can be downloaded for free from online markets, but for the moment nothing is known about its future: if the project does not bring results, the application could also be deleted.
What is Telegram X
The Telegram X project was born mainly from the desire of the Russian company to make an application faster and easier to use. After perfecting Telegram with new features and seeing other companies copy its solutions two years too late (at least that’s what Telegram says on the post published on the app’s official blog), the Russian company wanted to put its employees in competition. The development of Telegram X kept developers busy for two years, while at the same time Telegram was being enriched with new features. To develop the app’s code, Telegram’s founder created a contest among developers, and the winners joined the TDLib platform to create the libraries and cryptographic systems that are the basis of Telegram X.
The new features present in Telegram X
But how does Telegram X differ from Telegram? Practically in everything. The Russian company has changed the user interface, making it more elegant and trying to simplify the use of the app. From the app’s home you can also preview conversations by holding down on the chat. In addition, picture-in-picture mode has been implemented for videos: while a movie is playing you can continue chatting without any problems. Image viewing has also been improved.
Swipes (swiping your finger to the right or left) have been enhanced and you can share images, make video calls or download content with a few simple touches on the screen. In the coming months, new features will be integrated that will make Telegram X even more complete and stable.
