Beta version 1.4.4 finally updates emoji!

It also allows you to scale the Telegram interface up to 300%.

On macOS retina screens you can now scale the interface as well, up to 150% (before it was not possible at all). You may need that on iMacs :)

You can download it here:

In the new 1.5.7 beta version you can choose different emoji sets in Settings > Chat Settings.

In the new 1.6 stable version music and video streaming has finally arrived to Telegram Desktop!

You can download it from https://desktop.telegram.org or update to it in Settings > Advanced.

Mac App Store and Windows Store versions with this feature will be available soon.

Starting with Telegram Desktop version 1.8 large (and even super-large-animated) emoji are supported as the rest of the Telegram apps.

Any message with up to three emoji shows them large and without a bubble. And any one of ❤️, 👍, 😒, 😳 or 🥳 shows a large animated emoji. It plays once and you can play it again by a click.
