The goal of Telegram X is to reinvent Telegram and explore new frontiers in speed, ease of use, quality of animations and all other aspects. The Telegram X project features apps written from scratch, with an entirely new code base and without all the legacy components that our older apps have accumulated through the years.

This is why for the last two years we've been developing a new generation of Telegram clients in parallel with the main versions. In this environment, we started relying on internal competition to feed our flames. But as years passed, we saw less and less innovation coming from competitors, who now seem content merely to adapt Telegram features to their platforms with an average lag of two years. Competition is the soul of progress, so at first we got plenty of inspiration from other messengers that spurred us on. Our mission is to make Telegram faster, slicker and easier to use with each passing month. If you're looking for the best iOS experience, switch to the main Telegram app. In comments to the tweet of Kazakov, the user Twitter noted other updates: for example, a customizable font size, the ability to listen to audio files without downloading to the device and viewing GIF animations in the version for the iPad.UPD: As of October 2018, Telegram X for iOS has replaced the older Objective-C based client. In the description of Telegram X developers indicate that it is completely written in the programming language Swift, allows you to install a dark theme for the messenger and runs faster than the main version. The application was published by Telegram Messenger LLP - the same company publishes the desktop version of the messenger in the App Store, and on Google Play - the version of the Android application.īlogger Ilya Kazakov published a screenshot of the correspondence with the messenger support service, which also confirmed the official status of the new application.Ī new application is available for the iPhone and iPad. The fact that the application is really developed by the Telegram team is evidenced by the information about the creator in the App Store.
