Telegram is rolling out a native Apple Watch application, restoring first-party support for the messaging service on the wrist. Multiple outlets report that the app lets users view and respond to Telegram messages directly from Apple Watch. Beyond basic messaging, the app supports sharing content and interacting with media on the device, including items such as stickers, voice messages, and location information. 9to5Mac also describes broader capabilities that include GIFs and video, suggesting the watch app can handle additional message types and media formats.
Telegram previously had an Apple Watch app when it first launched support for the platform, but that earlier native app was discontinued and removed from the App Store several years ago. While third-party Telegram clients filled the gap for some users, Telegram is now providing a native option again, giving watch users an official experience for reading and managing their Telegram conversations from Apple Watch.
