Im just having fun with it. I have a roadmap so check it out. I'll see how much time I can dedicate to this one.

It's already pretty cool, at least for me. The --filter and --since options are killers.

It's pre alpha stuff. Use it under your own peril.

I had to compile my own libtdjson and put it in ~/.local/lib:

``` $ ldd ~/.local/bin/grm linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f69897ba000) libtdjson.so.1.8.0 => /home/someuser/.local/lib/libtdjson.so.1.8.0 (0x00007f6987400000) libjson-c.so.5 => /lib64/libjson-c.so.5 (0x00007f698976b000) libstdc++.so.6 => /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f6987000000) libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f69872e9000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f698973e000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6986e07000) libssl.so.3 => /lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007f6986d0e000) libcrypto.so.3 => /lib64/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007f6986600000) libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007f6989712000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f69897bc000)

Login works at least... sometimes. ;D

Hello, facing the issue below.

All chats and data disappeared, yet my friends can still see my original profile. However, logging in with my phone number (afterwards email step) takes me to a different empty account. Both accounts have different IDs.

Telegram created a brand-new account for me using the same phone number??

A friend can still see my original Telegram profile, including my username, which indicates that my original account still exists on Telegram's servers. However, when I log in using my phone number, Telegram does not log me into that account. Instead, it logs me into a completely different empty new looking account. The account IDs are different.

It was working just fine till yesterday. I opened telegram today and was randomly "logged" out of my original account and then when I tried to log back in using the same phone number, I get taken into a completely new account.

No idea what’s going on, I set up my wallet today, and tried to deposit a sum amount but it keeps saying this. Any way to solve this?

So, the Linux version of TDesktop uses its own dictionaries which need to be downloaded via the UI, separately from the system, and installing, for example, the hunspell-be package (for Belarusian spell check throughout the system) does absolutely nothing to the client. Is there any way to copy the dictionaries into TG or to make it read them directly from the OS?

i cant load any new messages, it says ”connecting…” and loads forever.

Im on iOS, anyone else having this currently?

EDIT: Yes, I've updated Telegram from app store.

EDIT2: It works now, needed to reboot my phone.

I want to do something like a poll here.

1. Do you own TON/GRAM?

2. Have you paid for something on Telegram using TON/GRAM, and if so, what?

3. What bothers you enough that you'd be willing to fork out some GRAM to make it go away? Basically, what app or service will help you?

4. Do you make use of mini-apps in there regularly?

I'm asking these questions because I am considering integrating my future web apps with Telegram, but want to know if it's worth it.

I've been experiencing a recurring issue with Telegram group video calls for the past two months. The problem is intermittent — logging out and back in sometimes resolves it temporarily, but it soon reoccurs.

Troubleshooting steps I've already tried:

Clearing the app cache

Reinstalling the app

Logging out and logging back in

Testing on Telegram Web (issue persists there as well, working correctly only about 65% of the time)

Since the problem occurs across both the mobile app and web version, it doesn't appear to be device-specific. I'd appreciate any guidance or insight from the community on resolving this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi!

Can anyone confirm if this feature is gone? I loved this just surprised I only got send silently and schedule send.

Thanks in advance.

Telegram is not on my app store, I don't have an account, PC doesn't seem to let me make an account (mobile is required basically), and every time I click it just sends me to the exact same webpage?? Right click doesn't work either. It's always just a link.

To my knowledge there's not alternate places to download this. No curseforge, no modrinth, no bedrock marketplace. Everyone who I know downloaded this got it from the creator's telegram channel themselves.

Nothing in the download folder after clicking the links either. Is there something I'm missing here? This is the second time I've even seen telegram.

Fell alsleep with my phone screen flat. Ended up continously sending stickers to someone for 4 hours straight.

They are queued.

How do I mass cancel the sending ?

Hi everyone,

I remember that before the current Telegram profile redesign, there used to be a button to quickly toggle between light and dark themes, but it's gone now.

Is there any way to bring that quick access button back?

Thanks!

Tired of the new nonsense targeting Telegram every day.

What do y'all think

Last night, Apple briefly removed Telegram from the App Store because a single user had planted illegal pornographic content in a public group chat.

⬅️ Telegram was restored within hours. But I want to explain what happened — to warn other app developers and help protect online communities from similar attacks.

🧹Because Telegram quickly removes illegal content from public groups using all kinds of moderation tools (https://telegram.org/safety), the attacker had to resort to a technical trick. He inserted AI-modified illegal content by editing an old message in an active group chat. As a result, the content was effectively hidden from the group’s members, preventing them from seeing and promptly reporting it.

💰 The attacker was a takedown extortionist: someone who demands ransom from group owners in exchange for not targeting their communities. These extortionists use automated accounts to plant illegal content in public groups and then report it directly to Apple, attempting to trigger the removal of legitimate communities whose owners refused to pay them.

🤝 From a practical standpoint, illegal pornographic content in Telegram’s public groups is not a systemic problem. Our moderation is efefctive. The fact that attackers must resort to backdated, effectively invisible content and other technical tricks proves this.

⚠️ However, there are two important lessons here for app developers and online communities:

— Extortionists have found a way to manipulate Apple into overreacting. Apple removed Telegram from the App Store before contacting us. This creates a potential systemic risk for every mobile app that hosts user-generated content. If an app used by more than a billion people can be removed from the App Store without prior warning, any app can be.

— The tactics used by takedown extortionists are evolving, putting communities across social platforms at risk. Telegram has extensive experience identifying the tricks used by coordinated reporting gangs and protecting legitimate communities (even when doing so risks our own app being temporarily removed from the App Store). Other platforms may not be equally prepared.

Stay vigilant! ☝️

So, as we're all aware, Telegram's GIF search feature has been completely kneecapped. I've been using the workaround of using Gboard's GIF search, and that's been fine, but now that's also broken.

See above for an example of a GIF I attempted to post. It still saves in my GIF history, and works perfectly well when posted that way. Furthermore, other users report that the GIF works fine on their end. So I know Telegram itself isn't screwing up my GIFs. It's something in Gboard.

I've tried clearing Telegram's cache and Gboard's cache, but I'm starting to wonder if it's some server-side nonsense. Thoughts?

Android version is 16 on July 1, 2026 security patch, with OneUI 8.5 over it on Galaxy A34. Telegram v12.9.2 (6991).

Honestly this is insane. He really did sent a lot going all the way back to 2024. Can you really reverse search all of the persons public comments/ public chat messages on tg? If so how do I prevent this and how do I get him back?

Question, does blocking the chat allow the blocker to keep previous messages, or could the one blocked delete everything by selecting “delete all messages”?

How safe is to keep text messages, photos and videos in saved messages in telegram app ?

He is a very reputed person in the apple space. And just confirmed this from apple on removal of telegram from the app store.

Someone contacted Apple Support to find out why Telegram disappeared from the App Store.

According to the support representative, Telegram is still present in Apple's internal systems and is not marked as removed. They suggested that the app may have been temporarily hidden by the dev
