The streaming window will feature a progressive bar as well as a light gray strip which will let you know how much of the video is currently cached. The streaming feature will however only work on videos uploaded on the version 4.8 or later.

Another newly added feature is the Auto-Night Mode which when enabled will make the app automatically switch to a darker theme once it's night time or in a low light condition.

To setup the Auto-Night Mode, just go to Auto-Night Mode by heading over to Settings >> Theme >> Auto-Night Mode.

The third new feature is the telegram login which will give External Websites the option to add a special telegram login feature for quick authentication, this will work in a similar way as the Facebook widget.

I prefer telegram to whatsapp. If everyone on my contacts should join telegram... I'm deleting the whatsapp app.

For some reason that I can't explain yet, I am yet to accept Telegram. I have installed the app on several occasions only to uninstall it later. You see, I realised that people who use telegram do so cos it allows for more members, which to me translates to more messages, mindless chatter, chaos and most importantly quick drainage of my device battery.

For now, I prefer WhatsApp and the sanity it brings.

The one thing interesting for Telegram App is ability to use the same account for various devices(PC, Android etc) compared with WhatsApp. Also it store document where you can download and delete that doxc, if you want that doxc you can download again, the thing which is contraly to WhatsApp.
