โฌ‡๏ธ If this does not yield anything, it can be any of these reasons:
- You have discovered an F-Droid bug.
- F-Droid repositories are down.
- The wrong 'suggested' tag is set.

You may wish to simply use the GitHub version we link here as it's faster and easier. It is labeled as "beta", even though it's the current stable version.

If you do prefer to use a client, we can strongly recommend @AuroraDroid by our friend Rahul.

โ„น๏ธ Adding telega to our list of clients

Telega
is a Telegram client for emacs. As far as we know, it supports deletion properly, and does not have malicious features like other clients. (that would ruin the integrity of Telegram features like the aforementioned deletion)

It also supports E2E ("secret chats").

But be warned: if you are not already a dedicated emacs user, this will most likely be too hard for you to use. It's surprisingly also not very lightweight, as one would expect. But it may be good to know for those that fit this particular niche anyway.

โ„น๏ธ Updated Changelog

We posted the update on April 14th before Telegram did their blog. Both blog and playstore have now been updated.

This should have been a 'quiet' message (silent notification) as this is nothing too important. Find more in the updated post.
