â„šī¸ Android Telegram v8.4.1 binary + source code have been released

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

🔃 Main changes: Spoiler messages, message translation, Emoji reactions

🗃 Changelog:

- Users can now attach specific emoji to messages sent by anyone in a chat as reactions.
- A special kind of spoiler message can now be sent. In these messages, the content will not be visible until it is tapped, much like how spoilers are hidden in some online forum software.
- Messages can now be translated from other languages by selecting "Translate" from a message's context menu, after enabling message translation in settings. (This uses Google Translate, but works in TG-FOSS as Telegram pretends to be a web browser using the translate web page.)
- QR code images with colors applied can now be generated for any user or channel that has a public username.
- Some new Interactive Emoji have been added.

No sign of server or TGX sources yet. No sign of Telegram caring about E2E (secret chats) either as Telegram Desktop still doesn't have it. (Only the Mac client that's made by another developer.)

If you want to try the new reactions, it's enabled here now. On TG-Desktop you have to hover over the post for a bit. The translation feature is ridiculous though, why would a privacy-marketed messenger offer an easy way to send all your data to Google?

🔄 Telegram-FOSS v8.4.2 is now available on F-Droid!

Refresh F-Droid to update.

âŦ‡ī¸ 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.
