๐Ÿ”„ Telegram-FOSS v7.7.2 is now available on F-Droid!

Refresh F-Droid to update.

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.

Telegram-FOSS should follow relatively quickly as usual, you will be notified.

By the way, the primary developer of the Android client seems to have been changed, which is probably what has caused this odd versioning scheme where 8.0.1 is a feature release, while 8.1.1 is a bug-fix release.

๐Ÿ”ƒ Main changes: This seems to be a bug-fix release, no major changes.
