Video calls have appeared in Telegram for Android

Telegram for Android OS has a video call function, according to the messenger's blog.

For iOS users, calls will be available after the app update is reviewed by App Store moderators.

To start a video call, you need to click the button with the camera icon in the user profile.

“You can switch between a voice call and a video call right during a call, as well as chat in chats without ending the call: it can be minimized to a small window in the corner of the screen,” the blog says.

Telegram has promised to launch group video calls “in the coming months.”

• The ability to enable video calls in test mode in Telegram for iOS appeared at the end of July. In the latest version of the messenger, click the "Settings" icon ten times, and then turn on the experimental features in the Debug menu that opens. To call someone, you need the interlocutor to perform the same actions.
