Telegram’s redesigned media editor now includes a blur tool and extra text possibilities

The most recent Telegram version features a revamped media editor loaded with a slew of new tools for decorating — or concealing — sections of your images or movies. Telegram announced a new blur feature on its blog, enabling you to block off certain sections of a picture or video, allowing you to conceal sensitive information or blur the faces of passersby who appear in the backdrop.

Telegram suggests using the eyedropper tool to match the colour of the blur brush to your picture to blend the blurred section of your photo in. Additionally, Telegram is introducing the ability to adjust the size, font, and backdrop of text when adding it to photographs or videos (similar to Instagram or Snapchat).
