Telegram Messenger Beta update brings hashtags, easier reply options

Telegram Messenger Beta has just received an update that brings several enhancements when using the groups feature. You can now reply to specific messages in a group chat, and mention select users in a group through the @usernames feature. Hashtag support is also new in this update.

These are the changes in version 1.8.0.0:

• Reply to specific messages in groups
• Mention @usernames in groups to notify multiple users
• Add comments when forwarding messages
• Use #hashtags for easier search
• Revised notifications in groups: mentioned users and people you reply to will be notified (private chat notification settings apply in this case instead of group settings)

Telegram Messenger continues to be one of the most feature-filled messaging clients on Windows Phone. What do you guys like the most about the service?
