The Telegram Messenger app for iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) has been updated recently to version 2.11 with several new features, as well as a couple of bug fixes. All Telegram users are urged to update as soon as possible in order to receive the new changes.

Among the new features included in Telegram Messenger 2.11, we can mention integration with several cloud services, including iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox. This feature allows users to send files to their buddies directly from those apps. It has been integrated in the “Send File” menu.

With the new update of Telegram Messenger for iOS, users will also be able to trim videos before sending them, as well as to open locations in Google Maps or other third-party Maps apps instead of the default Maps application from Apple. In addition, two issues have been fixed in this release, the hashtag search for iOS 7.x and notifications in Secret Chats.

Users are now able to easily add hashtags in conversations

Lastly, Telegram Messenger 2.11 for iOS lets users easily and quickly add hashtags. The application will now remember recently used hashtags, which will be prompted after typing #. Furthermore, support for non-Latin characters has been implemented in the hashtags.

You can get the new Telegram Messenger 2.11 app right now from the App Store on iTunes. Please note the while the application has been optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, it is also compatible with iPad and iPod Touch devices. Telegram Messenger requires iOS 7 or later.

For those of you who don’t know what Telegram Messenger is, we can tell you that the application is very similar to the famous WhatsApp, only that it is much faster and extremely secure. Telegram clients for PC (Mac, Linux, Windows) and other mobile OSes (Android, Windows Phone) are available as well.
