I could never understand why Telegram X is needed.No, I, of course, knew that under iOS it was written in the Swift programming language, and under Android it was assembled based on the library TDLib. Telegram assured that this version works faster than the original, despite the identical set of functions. Therefore, for a long time it remained a mystery to me why the developers support the old version of the messenger if it is worse than the new one? Apparently, over time, they began to suspect something and renamed Telegram X simply to Telegram, and the original version was simply removed from the App Store. The odd thing is that this did not happen with Telegram X from Google Play, which is not only still available for download but continues to be updated.
Why do we need Telegram X when there is a regular Telegram?
Despite the fact that Telegram X was originally created as an improved version of regular Telegram, on Android, it seems that everything is happening exactly the opposite. In any case, the functions that appeared in Telegram X with the release of the last update have long been available in the classic version of the messenger.
How to schedule a message on Telegram
Telegram message can be scheduled to be sent in the future
The main innovation of Telegram X is, of course, the ability to send deferred messages. Write the text of the message to the addressee, and then click on the send button and hold it until the context menu appears. Then select 'Send later', set the date and time (or choose to send when the addressee appears online) and confirm the sending. When the message is sent, you will also receive a notification, and a list of all scheduled messages can be viewed by clicking on the calendar button in the entry line, next to the attachment attachment and voice recording buttons.
How to send a message without sound in Telegram
Silent messages will allow you not to disturb the addressee
Another feature that has been present in the classic version of Telegram for a long time, but appeared in Telegram X only now, is the ability to send silent messages. To do this, write a message in the input line and, in the same way as when sending pending messages, hold down the send button, and then select 'Send without sound'. The recipient will receive the message immediately, and next to the message on his smartphone there will be a crossed-out bell icon. However, you cannot disable the notification in this way.
How to set a reminder in Telegram
Telegram reminders will allow you not to forget about something important
Over the years of its development, Telegram has ceased to be just a communication tool, having received a lot of completely atypical functions for a messenger. Obviously, that's why the developers of Telegram X added reminder support to it. To install them, open the 'Favorites' chat, write a text there, and then hold down the send key until the 'Set a reminder' button appears. After that, select the date and time at which Telegram X will send you an alert and remind you of what you asked for. This is a really handy thing, but it has been in the classic version of Telegram for a long time.
How to change the font in Telegram
In Telegram, you can customize the font like in WhatsApp
Many users like to change fonts in WhatsApp and actively use this opportunity, highlighting the main thing in their messages. This function is especially convenient in groups and channels when it is necessary to focus the readers' attention on something specific. Now there is a similar opportunity in Telegram X. The developers did not reinvent the wheel and used the WhatsApp selection method. Detailed instructions on how to change fonts can be found here.

Download Telegram X
Is there any point in using Telegram X? In my opinion, no. Not only does the classic version on Android work extremely fast, but it also receives all the relevant functions six months earlier. Therefore, if for some reason you are still on Telegram X, delete it from your smartphone and switch to regular Telegram. Moreover, with its help it is much more convenient to interact with our chat. Well, at least I think so.
