Telegram Desktop finally graduates to v1.0. I didn't realize that it supports themes! Try Blue and Dark.
Luca
@chrismessina Not sure if you have any influence over this, but it looks like the screenshots are showing off Telegram for macOS and not Telegram Desktop.
Enric Enrich
I find this a bit confusing; if I'm not wrong right now there are 3 official Telegram apps for macOS. The "Telegram" native app on the App Store, the "Telegram Desktop" non-native app on the App Store, and the "Telegram Desktop" non-native app outside the App Store. 🤔

@enricenrich hmmm.. Maybe Spray and Pray?
J Mueller
@enricenrich I don't understand either. Telegram 2.30 for Mac was at v2.30 -- same icon, same interface. But now version 1.0 got released?
Enric Enrich
@j_mueller No, there's the native Telegram app distributed on the Mac App Store with current version 2.30. Then there's the Telegram Desktop app distributed on the Mac App store with current version 0.10. And THEN there's this new app also called Telegram Desktop but distributed outside of the Mac App Store with current version 1.0.

@j_mueller @enricenrich The screenshots shown above are actually (and very confusingly) taken of the native macOS app which is currently version 2.3. I'm not sure how the featured screenshots can be changed. CC @bentossell Telegram Desktop is cross-platform and works on Windows, Mac & Linux alike. Check out https://telegram.org/blog/deskto.... They have better screenshots there.

10/10 ... I love Telegram. I just want like 100 new use cases where it can compete and I'll be an avid user. I love Telegram and really want it to succeed. ❤️
Manny
@as_austin exactly this! What are the differences between them?
Matteo Gavagnin
I don't get it. Why "our founder insists that Telegram Desktop is the way to go on all platforms." as stated in the original blog post?
Arun
@macteo Should be the need to achieve uniformity and makes it easier for devs to push updates. I would obviously love the native apps over this though.
Arun
@macteo Please ignore my previous reply. I was confused that this might be a desktop browser app. Just got this, and turns out is a native Mac app. I am now as confused as Enric is: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Dear @durov, thank you for Telegram because our Eightydays.me are using this. I can't find "lock" button like this

What segment is applying telegram over messenger or WhatsApp for chart UX OR signal for secure messaging

Bubbles in the chat. You can't change that in themes. Just colors. I'll continue with the native one.

Fantastic app with available on all platform simultaneously. Your team is awesome @durov
Bojan Spaic
Hopefully this won't mean that the native mac app won't be developed any more.

I love the new swift version. So fast and light! Congratulations

Quit viber and slack for this. More secure and light weight than those two.
