The Telegram application for Mac users has just received what users of the application for iOS devices have for a few days, the calls. After a series of updates in a row to put the messaging application on its site, once completely rewritten in Swift, now the application adds the option to make and receive calls between its users.
Obviously, errors of the previous version and others are also corrected, but the main novelty in this version 2.98 launched a few hours ago is precisely the function to make calls. A function that we have already tested and that works really well.
These calls obviously depend on the data network or the WiFi connection, so it may not always be the best of the experiences in terms of calls but in the three test calls that we have made it has been heard really well, without cuts and so on except in one that the person we have called was within car and it has not been possible to contact her. It is possible that it was due to a Bluetooth issue in the car or similar, but it did not work in that case.
To make a call from our Mac to any user who has the latest version on both systems, iOS 3.18 and macOS is 2.98What we have to do is directly access the user we want to call (by clicking on their name) and the phone symbol will appear in the upper right margin. We press and a window appears in which the call starts with the option to silence the microphone and hang up. Once we have made the first call in the text chat, the phone icon appears directly to be able to make other calls without having to access the user's profile.
