The update adds long awaited features such as instant full-text cloud search, new flexible privacy settings for last-seen time and account self-destruction. Users can now find any message sent or received in Telegram by using the universal search. They will have to simply tap a message and it will send you to its place in your message history.

A new self destruction feature is also added to Telegram. If you stop using the app and do not login for at least 6 months, your account will be deleted along with all messages, media, contacts and every other piece of data you store in the Telegram cloud. You can change the exact period after which your inactive account will self-destruct – with options ranging from 1 month to 1 year.
