<p><strong>UPD:</strong> As of October 2018, <strong>Telegram X for iOS</strong> has replaced the older Objective-C based client. If you&#39;re looking for the best iOS experience, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/telegram-messenger/id686449807?mt=8"><strong>switch to the main Telegram app</strong></a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Our mission is to make Telegram <strong>faster</strong>, <strong>slicker</strong> and <strong>easier to use</strong> with each passing month. Competition is the soul of progress, so at first we got plenty of inspiration from other messengers that spurred us on. But as years passed, we saw less and less innovation coming from competitors, who now seem content merely to adapt Telegram features to their platforms with an average lag of two years.</p>
<p>In this environment, we started relying on <strong>internal competition</strong> to feed our flames. This is why for the last two years we&#39;ve been developing a new generation of Telegram clients in parallel with the main versions.</p>
<p>The <strong>Telegram X</strong> project features <strong>apps written from scratch</strong>, with an entirely <strong>new code base</strong> and without all the legacy components that our older apps have accumulated through the years.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="telegram-x" href="#telegram-x"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Telegram X</h3>
<p>The goal of Telegram X is to reinvent Telegram and explore new frontiers in <strong>speed</strong>, <strong>ease of use</strong>, <strong>quality of animations</strong> and all other aspects. Today we are glad to present two new official apps Telegram X for <a href="#x-for-android"><strong>Android</strong></a> and <a href="#x-for-ios"><strong>iOS</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Both these apps are experimental and may or may not eventually replace the existing official apps. But even if they don&#39;t, they will speed up the development of Telegram by allowing us to quickly test new approaches and technologies.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="x-for-android" href="#x-for-android"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>X for Android</h3>
<p><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thunderdog.challegram&amp;hl=en">Telegram X for Android</a> was born in the furnaces of a contest for Android developers that our founder launched two years ago. The winner then used the power of <a href="/blog/tdlib">TDLib</a> to create a stunning app with a special focus on <strong>smooth animations</strong>.</p>
<p>X for Android is faster and more battery-efficient than the original app and features a <strong>sleek new design</strong>:</p>
<div class="blog_video_player_wrap" style="max-width: 640px; margin: 20px auto 20px;">
<video class="blog_video_player" controls poster="/file/811140194/14aa/LGRtvjivQGI.36081/c850a12937307985dc" style="max-width: 640px;" onclick="videoTogglePlay(this); delete this.onclick; this.removeAttribute('onclick');">
<source src="https://telegram.org/resources/video/AndroidX640.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>
<p>Telegram X also supports a clean <strong>bubble-free mode</strong> for chats, where messages and photos get more breathing space and photos in channels assume the full width of the screen:</p>
<div class="blog_image_wrap">
<a href="/file/811140507/1a6f/EUKZ_Tw7ZPI.158675/7edcf02e3d83a723b3" target="_blank"><img src="/file/811140700/1954/UL01eOk5gqw.195810/94a6e86da2ab0abbb0" title="Channel in bubble-free mode" /></a>
<p>Bubble-free Photo in a Channel</p>
</div>
<p>In Telegram X, you can tap and hold on any chat to <strong>preview</strong> its content without opening. This works everywhere, including in the forwarding and sharing menus, as well as in the Calls tab and Groups in Common.</p>
<p>The app also offers an abundance of useful <strong>swiping actions</strong>. For example, you can switch between Chats and Calls by swiping left and right on the main screen. You can also swipe right on any message to instantly open the forwarding menu:</p>
<div class="blog_image_wrap">
<a href="/file/811140816/194b/O6xTBKZvmHc.95243/6c1b307df6e95fc6a7" target="_blank"><img src="/file/811140816/194b/O6xTBKZvmHc.95243/6c1b307df6e95fc6a7" title="Swipe right to share" /></a>
<p>Swipe right to share</p>
</div>
<p>The app includes a reimagined music player and <strong>attachment menu</strong>, as well as <strong>optimized profile pages</strong> with quick access to <strong>shared media</strong>. You can easily switch between different types of shared media by swiping.</p>
<div class="blog_image_wrap">
<a href="/file/811140235/1666/rUoSn0NzyQA.183154/247b8d679f249dec21" target="_blank"><img src="/file/811140235/1666/rUoSn0NzyQA.183154/247b8d679f249dec21" title="New profile page with shared media" /></a>
<p>New profile page with shared media</p>
</div>
<p>This is by no means an exhaustive list of features, Telegram X for Android is full of little surprises in every corner.</p>
<p>The app is now ready to begin its experimental journey with new features scheduled to appear as early as next week.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" name="x-for-ios" href="#x-for-ios"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>X for iOS</h3>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>UPD:</strong> As of October 2018, <strong>Telegram X for iOS</strong> has replaced the older Objective-C based client. If you&#39;re looking for the best iOS experience, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/telegram-messenger/id686449807?mt=8"><strong>switch to the main Telegram app</strong></a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/telegram-x/id898228810?mt=8">Telegram X for iOS</a> is written entirely in <strong>Swift</strong> and is significantly <strong>lighter</strong>, <strong>faster</strong> and <strong>more battery-efficient</strong> than the original app, built with Objective C.</p>
<p>The design and feature set are closer to what iOS users have learned to expect from Telegram, but you will definitely notice the <strong>smooth animations</strong> and faster speed and loading times on most iPhones.</p>
<p>The internal structure of Telegram X for iOS is also much better optimized for the things that are expected of a Telegram app in 2018 and beyond. Just as with X for Android, today&#39;s X release for iOS is the beginning of a long journey.</p>
<div><br></div>
<p>Look out for our next updates, both to the experimental versions and their classic counterparts.</p>
