Telegram adds selfie masks and customisable GIFs in Snapchat-esque update

Messaging app Telegram has taken a leaf out of Snapchat’s book, adding a slate of new features to its in-app photo editor including selfie masks, trending stickers, and custom GIFs.
The “entertainment-heavy update” includes the implementation of facial-recognition technology that enables the app to identify faces in photographs and use mask meta-data to align to each user’s face.
