Ratings and reviews

The app works well, but their major monetization hook is: if you don't pay for premium, you have to allow any random person to message you. I generally have to block around one scammer a day. If I could only allow contacts to message me, it would be five stars. But monetizing by making people be vulnerable to scams and harassment unless they buy premium is a terrible business strategy.

Delivers the same telegram experience. But I typically find it is more stable and has never crashed on me. some features are a little more limited but it works quickly and simply. update 7-2025: still have unexplained restrictions.. cannot recommend this app at all, if for no reason your just going to get cut off and block from reaching your friends and damoly. literally useless now.

I’m a full-time student working with large study groups, and Telegram X has made a huge difference. Images and PDFs load instantly, the app feels lighter, and there’s none of the “connecting…” lag I kept getting in the main client. Scrolling, switching chats, and opening media are all noticeably faster. If you rely on quick access to study materials or active groups, this version is easily the better choice.
