Elements in a message

A message can carry more than text. Each switch here decides whether that part becomes its own stop when you swipe through a message, so you can reach it directly instead of hunting for it. All are on by default.

  • Links — links inside the message text.
  • Bot Buttons — the buttons a bot attaches under its message.
  • Poll Hints — the explanation attached to a quiz answer.
  • Poll Buttons — each poll option or checklist task as its own stop.
  • Instant View — the button that opens an article inside the app.
  • Share Button — the forward arrow drawn beside a message.
  • Reply — the quoted message above a reply.
  • Comment — the comments button under a channel post.
  • Profile — the sender's avatar.
  • Forward — the "forwarded from" line.
  • Transcribe — Telegram's own voice transcription button, which needs Premium. blindGram's offline Convert voice to text is in the message menu instead.

Switching one off does not hide it from sight; it removes it from the reading order, which makes walking a long message quicker.
