Built for speed and performance, with a complete redesign of the look and feel. You'll be able to try it for yourself soon…

A small sample of the many new features:

  • OLED black theme
  • Local message cache (all chats open instantly)
  • Add/modify chat networks (no need to set up on desktop)
  • Chat bubbling
  • Tablet (multi-pane) mode
  • Full message search (across all your chat networks)

He added, on Matrix, “Plan is to offer local bridges for all encrypted networks”

Although confirming this would be the case at launch, it was unclear specifically which networks are counted as encrypted.

I thought Telegram pretty much was Discord but for people who prefer phones over computers.

Not a bad way to look at it, although I think one-on-one messaging is much more common on Telegram compared to discord, which has its “communities” thing as its main use case.
