  • Improved UX when browsing Global Search results
  • Improved censorship circumvention

Firstly, in Telegram’s blog post, is the ability to replace media and add captions to anything that previously didn’t have something. This simply means that for the users who send the wrong photos, for example (check the gif below) have the ability to swap it for the correct ones.
