This week, Telegram has begun the rollout of an update for its macOS application, introducing an array of new features and enhancements. The update, version 9.4.1, is now available for MacBook users and includes a power saving mode, customizable autoplay settings for various media types, as well as several bug fixes and performance improvements.
According to information provided by Telegram, the new power saving mode is a significant highlight of the update. It automatically engages when the device’s battery charge reaches a certain level, effectively minimizing power usage while the app is in operation. This feature aims to enhance the user experience by prolonging battery life during critical times.
The latest macOS update also introduces a convenient switch that allows users to disable all resource-heavy processes with a single click. In addition, users can now customize autoplay settings for videos, GIFs, stickers, and animated emojis among other media, tailoring their experience to individual preferences.
It is important to note that this update is specifically designed for the Telegram app on macOS and is not applicable to the broader Telegram desktop application, which is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms.
Earlier this month, Telegram launched its first major update of 2023, featuring several new tools including a real-time chat translation option and an autosave functionality for incoming media. The translation feature, however, is limited to Premium users and is accessible at the top of any thread with a foreign language in personal chats, groups, and channels. Users can select their preferred languages from the menu to facilitate translations.
