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.

Telegram X source code is now available

The source code for Telegram X has been released. It only differs from the binaries on the Play Store in that it does not contain Google or Telegram API keys.

Unfortunately, this means you will have to apply for your own in order to build Telegram X yourself. It depends on Google APIs, and nobody has made de-Googled builds either, so that's also something to keep in mind.

For detailed build instructions and the source code, visit: https://github.com/TGX-Android/Telegram-X

â„šī¸ Android Telegram v8.9.0 binary + source code have been released

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

🔃 Main changes: Interactive Emoji in 1:1 chats.

🗃 Changelog:

- Some animated Emoji have been changed to display full-screen synchronized animations when sent in 1:1 chats.

In addition, there are also several features intended for premium users:

- Custom animated Emoji. Telegram Premium subscribers can now upload custom Emoji packs defining different Emoji and animations. These Emoji can then be sent in chats by premium users.

- Privacy settings for voice messages. Premium subscribers can now chose who is allowed to send them voice messages the same way they would select who can see their profile pictures.
