Telegram Adds Custom Notification Sounds, Custom Mute Durations, And More
Telegram has released a new update for Android and iPhone users, bringing several features including Custom Notifications Sounds and Custom Mute Durations. This is the third update rolled out by Telegram in 2022. In March, the messaging app redesigned its system for sharing media files.

While the feature can be used to express thoughts about a particular message in personal chats, admins can use it to collect feedback from a group of users by limiting the reaction options to upvote or downvote.
