Introducing Pigeon 1.1, now with stickers and voice messaging
By Vincent Neo • June 21, 2023
Pigeon 1.1, a major update to the third-party Apple Watch Telegram client, has been released, taking Telegram communications on the Apple Watch, to new levels.
With stickers and voice messaging capabilities, the experience of communicating using Pigeon is tremendously enhanced. Users can now share their favourite Telegram stickers to better convey their feelings to their friends and family. Voice messages allows users to freely express their thoughts, right from their speech.
Watch Face Complications comes to Pigeon for the first time, with two sizes to choose from, giving Pigeon users, fast and convenient access to the app, right from the watch face.
New Ways to Socialise with Polls and Contacts Polls and Quizzes are popular ways to interact in many Telegram chat groups among friends, co-workers and family. With Pigeon 1.1, users will be able to vote for their poll preferences, or to answer quizzes, directly from the app.
Pigeon also adds support for users to view vCard-based contacts shared by other Telegram users, acting as a bridge for users to view contact information with ease.
Additional features in Pigeon 1.1 include:
- Notifications are now grouped by app, rather than by chat. This allows users to view earlier message notifications, without the need to enter into the app. Users tapping on the message notification, will now be brought to the relevant chat in the app.
- Messages that are forwarded by other Telegram users will now appear as such, in Pigeon.
- Online and offline statuses are now set, everytime a Pigeon user enters or exits the app.
- The new Condensed messaging mode can be activated in Settings. Once activated, users will see a user interface that is more conventional with typical instant messaging apps, with a focus on text messaging.
