Unknown Telegram Tips That Will Improve Your Messaging Experience

Telegram is a messaging app that is slowly but surely gaining more and more popularity. Since both WhatsApp and Messenger are affiliated with Facebook, users started trusting them less. Telegram represents one of the best alternatives out there. The app has numerous innovative functions. Here are some of them.

Custom LED colors and notifications

Telegram allows users to customise notifications and even the LED notifications color. For notifications LED you will need to have an Android phone with a notification LED. Custom notifications are available on all phones. Simply go to Contact info, tap on Notifications and sounds and you will have a chance to change notifications, sounds, priority, LED colours, vibration patterns and more.

Change your number

You might need to change your Telegram phone number at one point. Luckily for you, it is very simple to do that. You just need to head over to Settings and then tap Phone number. There you will be able to change it to a new one. All your Telegram contacts will get your new number added to their address book, as long as they had your old number.

Manage media downloads

Telegram is great for file sharing as it allows you to send files up to 1.5 GB. However, you don’t want your storage to become full so you need to decide which Telegram files should be downloaded. In order to do this you need to open Settings, head over to Data and Storage and choose whether you want automatic downloads When using mobile data or When connected on Wi-Fi.

Hide last seen

Telegram also allows you to hide last seen so that other users can’t see the last time you were online. You can do this by going to Settings > Privacy and Security > Last seen.

iOS 13 Won’t Support Older iPhone Smartphones, Reportedly

An Israeli site came up with a very concerning rumor for the owners of some older iPhone smartphones. According to the portal, iOS 13 won’t support old iPhone devices, from iPhone 5S to iPhone 6S. Apple did not confirm the rumors, so we should take it with a grain of salt until the Cupertino-based company comes out with an announcement in that regard.

“The company is currently completing the process of building the operating system, iOS 13, which will be presented for the first time at the company’s annual developer conference, the WWDC 2019, which will take place this June. According to previous years, the update is expected to be released to all users for free in September, together with the launch of the new iPhones,” the Israeli site, The Verifier, stated.

“But just before we get a look at the next update of the iOS 13 operating system and what the innovations will be, we can say today that the company will lower support for several iPhones and iPads that will not be updated,” the news portal continued.

Reportedly, iOS 13 Won’t Support Older iPhone Smartphones

The Verifier, the Israeli site that came out with the rumor that iOS 13 won’t support older iPhone smartphones and iPad models, also presented a list of the devices that won’t get the update. According to them, the following iPhones and iPads won’t get iOS 13:

  • iPhone 6s Plus – Update is in question
  • iPhone
  • iPhone 6 Plus
  • iPhone SE – Update is in question
  • iPhone 5s
  • iPad Mini 2
  • iPad Mini 3
  • iPad mini 4 – Update is in question
  • iPad Air
  • iPad Air 2
  • iPod touch 6th generation

We should not take this rumors as true, at least not until Apple confirms it. However, The Verifier provided some accurate news regarding Apple and its iPhone smartphones and iPad tablets. If indeed iOS 13 won’t support iPhone smartphones, owners of devices from the list above would have nothing else to do than use iOS 12 versions or upgrade to newer iDevices.
