Telegram brings new update a day after blaming Apple for delay

A day after Pavel Durov said an update had been in Apple’s app review for two weeks, the Telegram CEO and founder has now released the feature.

According to Durov, the new update comes packed with emoji-related features. However, one is missing because the tech giant requested its removal specifically.

“After extensive media coverage of my previous post, Apple got back to us with a demand to water down our pending Telegram update by removing Telemoji — higher quality vector-animated versions of the standard emoji,” the CEO and founder said wrote on his Telegram channel.
