After a month of silence as far as news is concerned, Telegram unwraps its Christmas gift for all users with an update of notable importance: version 9.2 brings the registration without needing a SIM cardTelegram allows you to mark the automatic deletion of all chats, introduces 2.0 themes and many more changes.

What a development streak Telegram has, there is no doubt that the messaging platform has put everything into innovation and the delivery of advanced experiences to its users. It is true that WhatsApp outnumbers you, but no one can object to the fact that Telegram is way ahead of Meta when it comes to advanced features. And he never tires of proving it, each Telegram update goes one step further.

Telegram is now completely anonymous

With the arrival of version 9.2, Telegram makes the use of its app completely anonymous. Until now, the platform required a phone number to open an account; for more than that number not be shared with contacts if the user so desired. With the update, you no longer need a SIM to have a profile on Telegram. Of course, with an important drawback.

Telegram does not need a SIM for a new account, but yes, it also requires a telephone number. The solution is to acquire an anonymous number through Fragment: it is one of Telegram’s commitments to the Blockchain. This translates into auctions that start at $19.91, the price to pay for that extra privacy.

Apart from the change related to opening accounts, Telegram 9.2 introduces the following new features:

• Global automatic deletion. Telegram allows you to apply automatic deletion to all new chats. It is a customizable timer that does not affect already present conversations.

• Themes 2.0. The group themes are shown in two columns with a general thread where the application saves the history prior to the activation of the themes.
• Aggressive anti spam mode in groups. For groups larger than 200 users, administrators can enable aggressive spam removal mode.
• temporary QR codes. Those who do not have a Telegram user, and wish to hide the mobile number, have the option of sharing their contact through QR codes that will last just long enough to add the profile.
• More power for file management. Android receives a more complete and powerful file manager that shows everything that the chats and their respective files occupy. In addition, it is possible to delete the items separately to save space on the phone.
• Do not miss Emojis. In its quest to establish itself as the star application for Emojis, Telegram adds 10 packs of personalized Emojis to its Premium users and includes many more interactive Emojis, those that appear large when someone sends them to the conversation (and that move when you press about them). These animated Emojis reach all users, they can also be used as a reaction.

The latest Telegram update is available in the Google Play Store and on the Telegram page itself. Just download that version to receive all the news.
