After WhatsApp announced a change in its privacy settings, many users moved to Telegram, and it was added to the Instant Install messaging app. Since then, Telegram has released a number of new features, and the blockchain-based app is now working on the long-awaited group call and screen sharing feature.

The founder of Telegram, PowerDorov, announced on his official Telegram channel that the platform was finally getting a group video calling feature next month, as well as supporting web-based video conferencing. He also explained how he would add "video dimension" to his voice chats in May, a feature that would make Telegram an even more powerful platform for group video calls.


Other features that will come with group calls and screen sharing include encryption noise cancellation and support for desktop and tablet. Although Telegram is known for advancing new features faster than its predecessors, it backed down when it came to introducing the group chat feature.

This seems like a strategic move as WhatsApp's new privacy policy goes into effect next month. We all know how many people are not happy about it.


New features next month for both iOS and Android. Will make its way.

ElonMusk and, Bezos collide after SpaceX wins moon landing contract

 



(Reuters) - Blue Origin, the space rocket company backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos, is formally challenging NASA's $ 2.9 billion lunar landing contract to rival Elon Musk's SpaceX.


The two richest men in the world have been fighting in a fierce global space dispute, disputing contracts with government agencies and companies.


Blue Origin said on Monday that it filed a protest to the Federal Government Accountability Office, accusing NASA of moving the beams to bidders at the last minute.


Musk responded with a tweet that said, "I can't get it to go up (into orbit) lol."


He did not elaborate on the tweet, but pasted a screenshot of a 2019 report on Bezos revealing the Blue Origin lunar module on the same topic as Twitter.


Blue Origin lagged far behind SpaceX and the United Launch Alliance (ULA) in orbital transport, losing billions of US dollars. national security launch contracts starting in 2022. ULA is a joint venture of Boeing Co and Lockheed Martin Corp.

The company suffered another blow earlier this month when NASA awarded SpaceX the contract to build a spacecraft to take astronauts to the Moon as early as 2024, choosing Musk's company over Blue Origin and defense contractor Dynetics Inc.


The coveted project aims to put humans back on the Moon for the first time since 1972.


"NASA performed a failed acquisition for the Human Landing System program and changed the beacons at the last minute," Blue Origin said in an e-mailed statement.


"Their decision eliminates opportunities for competition, significantly restricts the supply base, and not only delays, but also jeopardizes America's return to the moon. As a result, we have filed a protest with the GAO."


Musk's SpaceX bid on its own, while Amazon.com founder Bezos ’Blue Origin partnered with Lockheed Martin Corp, Northrop Grumman Corp and Draper.


Blue Origin's presentation of the 50-page protest was previously reported by the New York Times.
