🎄 Happy New Year to everyone! WebK launched its first update of 2023, adding a pack of feaures you can now enjoy on Web!

📚 Topics 2.0 Admins of any group can enable Topics, creating separate spaces within the group to discuss different subjects – with a sleek two-column layout to easily navigate chats.

😶‍🌫️ Hidden Media Media hidden with a shimmering spoiler effect is properly displayed in the app – just tap or click to view the image. The next WebK update will allow you to send media with this spoiler effect.

🏴‍☠️ No-SIM Signup and Login Users who have an anonymous number from Fragment can login to their existing account or create a new account with the number.

🔤 Collectible Usernames
Owners of collectible usernames can now assign collectibles to their personal account, groups or channels – and manage them within the app.

Lastly, the app also preserves your history stack – if you follow a t.me link to another message in a chat, you can return to the first message with the 🔽 button.

1.6.0 (244)

Today, WebK introduces a redesigned Emoji and Sticker Panel – try the collapsible section for default emoji categories and the scrollable bar for your custom emoji sets.

The new Panel features a beautiful blur effect on most desktop browsers and allows you to send or edit messages containing custom emoji. (All users can try out this feature in their Saved Messages)

In the Stickers tab, you can now add or remove stickers from favorites, send without sound or individually delete them from the Recents section.

Preview Stickers and Emoji You can now get a closer look at stickers and emoji, both in the panel and in chats. Click and hold, then hover your cursor over the one you'd like to see in better detail.

Stickers are now rendered more efficiently, using fewer resources and saving battery. Custom Emoji have also had more improvements since their launch in late August.

Downloading Files The download flow has been reworked from scratch. When you download something, the app uses your connection in the most efficient way possible. Premium users will notice how dramatically fast the app downloads files for them – a little demo is available here.

Large files of up to 4 GB are now supported for both upload and download. There is also support for native downloading in certain browsers – your browser will place active downloads on the instrument bar.

Payments 2.0 Significant optimizations were added to smoothly process payments in any browser, and adding familiar functionality from other Telegram apps. Bot payments, @donate invoices and more are supported – including the ability to subscribe to Telegram Premium with @PremiumBot.

Dozens of bug fixes were also made to the app – but those can be a bit boring to read. If you ever come across a bug in the app, make sure to let us know on the Bugs and Suggestions Platform.

1.5.0 (178)

1️⃣ Introducing support for Multiple Tabs – a first for Telegram Web Apps – customizing how you browse Telegram to increase comfort and productivity.

• Open several tabs or browser windows to view multiple chats or channels simultaneously. • Organize your Telegram workflow on multiple monitors by moving tabs to different screens. • Use ⌘/Ctrl + click or middle-click on any conversation in your chat list to open it in a separate tab.

All messages and content are seamlessly synced across the tabs. To use multiple tabs on Safari, kindly consider switching to another browser for the best experience. Due to Safari’s technical limitations, the WebK app can still only be used there in a single tab.

2️⃣ WebK gets even more stylish, adding:

• Animated placeholders when loading the chat list. • Scrolling profile pictures in groups that move up and down with their messages. • Menu redesigns with beautiful new blur effects. • Colored reply previews that match the color of your chat partners' names.

This update also includes several bug fixes, removing issues with:

Incorrect unread values
Visual errors in placeholders
Failing to mark messages as read
Performance drops when returning to previous chats.
and many more 🛠

1.4.2 (161)

The Video Player now supports Picture-in-Picture mode – keep messaging and switching chats while watching videos. Open a video, then click or tap the icon in the bottom right corner.
The Audio Player has been packed with two new features for music lovers: set your favorite song to repeat or change the playback order for playlists. It will also remember your playback settings (volume, repeat, and speed).
Replies in Forwarded Messages – reply previews are now included when forwarding messages to other chats, so everyone can see the full context of your inside jokes.
From your chat list, hit the ESC key and instantly start typing in Search.
Search inputs now transliterate between Latin and Cyrillic keyboards – when searching for your friend Ivan you can type Шмфт and the app will know what you meant.
Along with other Telegram apps, WebK now shows FAKE and SCAM badges for suspicious chats.

1.4.0 (129)

WebK introduced Video Chats back in December.

And now we are proud to launch the first-ever version of Telegram P2P Calls on the Web – bringing native support for calls between two users, secured by end-to-end encryption.

Seamlessly call anyone, regardless of the app they are using – calls will work between the WebK app and any other stable Telegram app: Android, iOS, Desktop, and macOS.

To call someone, open your chat with that user and click or tap the Phone icon in the top right corner.

We mainly focused on calls in this update but also made important under-the-hood changes to the login flow, fixing rare issues when signing in.

In the coming weeks, the app will finally get support for all admin features in communities – bringing you dozens of new ways to manage groups and channels.
