Telegram Desktop

Starting with Telegram Desktop version 1.8 large (and even super-large-animated) emoji are supported as the rest of the Telegram apps.

Any message with up to three emoji shows them large and without a bubble. And any one of ❤️, 👍, 😒, 😳 or 🥳 shows a large animated emoji. It plays once and you can play it again by a click.

In the new 1.6 stable version music and video streaming has finally arrived to Telegram Desktop!

You can download it from https://desktop.telegram.org or update to it in Settings > Advanced.

Mac App Store and Windows Store versions with this feature will be available soon.

In the new 1.5.7 beta version you can choose different emoji sets in Settings > Chat Settings.

Beta version 1.4.4 finally updates emoji!

It also allows you to scale the Telegram interface up to 300%.

On macOS retina screens you can now scale the interface as well, up to 150% (before it was not possible at all). You may need that on iMacs :)

In case you can't update Telegram Desktop because Telegram is blocked in your country, here are the files for the new version 1.3.7.

This version is optimized for censorship circumvention and can update itself automatically.

Warning! Never install and launch files from untrusted sources. Make sure that you download the files from the verified Telegram Desktop channel.

Finally version 1.3 is available for download and from Mac App Store and Microsoft Store.

- It should work better in countries that are blocking Telegram.
- It should be able to autoupdate better.
- It supports saving several proxies in Connection Settings, including MTProto proxy support.
- Also you can use Socks5 proxies for calls.
- And finally you can use formatting (select text and Ctrl/Cmd + B/I for Bold/Italic, Ctrl/Cmd + K for a link with custom text, Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + M for monospace font).

If in Settings when you try to update from 1.2.17 you see "Latest version is installed." — this means that my autoupdate site is unavailable :( Please install the version 1.3 from https://desktop.telegram.org or (if this link isn't opening for you) from GitHub releases page:

https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/releases/v1.3.0

After that it should autoupdate just fine.

Also there is a search icon in the stickers panel where you can find some nice new stickers.

In 1.2.9 alpha version you can quickly reply to a message by double clicking near the bubble.

New 1.2.7 alpha version is released today. It offers you a fast reply button in your group chats.

Happy New Year to all Telegram Desktop users! 🎉 😃
