Telegram’s latest update includes a revamped media editor outfitted with a slew of new tools for decorating — or concealing — parts of your images or videos.
Telegram announced a new blur tool on its blog, allowing you to block out specific areas of a photo or video, allowing you to hide sensitive information or blur the faces of passersby who appear in the background. Telegram suggests using the eyedropper tool to match the colour of the blur brush to your image to blend the blurred portion of your photo in. Additionally, Telegram is adding the ability to change the size, font, and background of text when adding it to photos or videos (similar to Instagram or Snapchat).
