Telegram's version 8.0 update brings new features, but drops Wear OS app

Telegram's latest update brings some new features, but it looks like it also got rid of a feature. The version 8.0 update doesn't include the Wear OS app. 9to5Google noted that the app has vanished from the Play Store on Wear OS. When you search for it, it no longer appears. But if you have the app already, it should stay put.

The update brings features like unlocking the limits on the size of a live stream's audience. You can now hide captions or the sender's name with messaging forwarding. Telegram will also now show trending stickers, and it improved sticker selection on the Android app. If you send emojis as a single message, these will be animated.

Amazon might be the next company to offer a live audio solution, at least according to recent reports. But the focus will be on the music, like concerts and other events. Amazon is reportedly looking at podcasts and talk radio extensions, but Amazon Music will take charge of this initiative. According to Axios  sources, Amazon is looking to build live audio into Twitch, but it isn't know how or when this might arrive.

It won't be surprising for the company to jump into this space. As Engadget  pointed out, Amazon recently integrated Twitch streams into the Music app. And the company acquired podcast subscription service business Wondery last year.
