# blindGram 12.1 adds a download sound and clearer voice playback

blindGram 12.1, released April 26, 2024 on Telegram 10.10.1, adds a sound when a download finishes and clearer feedback while voice messages and music play.

Before this release, a finished download did not announce itself, and every playing voice message put a player in the notification shade. Both are now up to you.

### Downloads and voice playback

- You can turn on a short sound that plays when a download finishes, so you do not have to go back and check on a file. Today this is **Play sound when download completed** in the Media section of the blindGram Area.
- A voice message no longer has to put a player in your notification shade. A new option turns that notification off. Today it is **Hide the player notification for voice messages**.
- The seek dialog you open from a message's menu now announces the elapsed time of the voice message or track you are moving through.

### Telegram 10.10.1 and labels

- The features that arrived with Telegram 10.10.1 were made accessible.
- Controls that users had reported as unnamed got spoken labels, and other reported accessibility problems were fixed.

blindGram 12.1 Final closed the test cycle that began with [blindGram 12.0 Beta 1](/blog/2024-04-05/blindgram-12-0-beta-1-telegram-10-10-1/) three weeks earlier.

Every row mentioned here is listed in the [Media settings guide](/docs/media/). The current release is on the [download page](/download/).
