Event Summary

Telegram has launched a fully native application for the Apple Inc., marking its return to the watchOS platform after discontinuing support years ago. The new app, announced by Telegram CEO Pavel Durov on X (social network), allows users to access chats, send messages, listen to voice notes, view GIFs and videos, and share live locations directly from their Apple Inc.. This expansion brings much of Telegram's core functionality to Apple Inc.'s wearable device, offering a more comprehensive messaging experience beyond simple notifications. The setup involves scanning a QR code with an iPhone, similar to other Telegram logins. This move aligns with Telegram's strategy of cross-platform availability and reflects a broader shift in smartwatch software development towards more capable standalone applications, following a trend seen with competitors like Meta Platforms — WhatsApp.
