To keep these chats easy to read, groups with over 200 members can now enable topics and create separate spaces for any subject. This feature is intended specifically for large groups, adding new ways to customise their chats and promote discussion.

In addition to one basic username, users can now assign multiple collectible usernames to each of their accounts and public chats. The update to Voice-to-Text for video messages adds the same functionality to video messages, allowing Premium users to get an instant text transcript.
