Telegram has officially released a native app for Apple Watch, enabling users to send messages, play GIFs and videos, listen to voice notes, share their location, and access chats directly from their wrist. The launch marks a significant return for Telegram on the wearable platform, more than ten years after the app first offered limited Apple Watch support.
The new app is designed to leverage watchOS capabilities for a smooth and responsive experience. Users can now stay connected without pulling out their iPhone, making quick replies and media playback effortless. The update is part of Telegram's ongoing effort to expand its presence across the Apple ecosystem.
While the app is available now, users need to ensure their Apple Watch is running a recent version of watchOS and that the Telegram iPhone app is up to date. The move is expected to be welcomed by the Telegram community, which has long awaited a full-featured watchOS experience.
