A new Telegram update has been released.

The company is borrowing some of WhatsApp's best customisation features with its latest update. The new Telegram features are aimed at improving the app's personalisation, video recording, and other experiences.

Telegram Chat Themes are being introduced and they bring "coordination and decoration" together. The company has created eight new themes that you can apply to specific private chats. Each of the new themes features colourful gradient message bubbles, beautifully animated backgrounds and unique background patterns. Each theme comes with a day and night version and will follow your app's night mode settings. Telegram is already said to be working on more themes.
