• Added an embedded Tor daemon to route Telegram connection traffic, preventing network operators from linking your account to your real IP. This can be enabled in Settings → Privacy → Use Tor. • Introduced a Reduce network tracking option in Settings → Privacy. This rotates the session key every hour instead of once a day to make passive correlation of your device harder. Improved • The app now automatically rotates the session key whenever a network change is detected (such as switching Wi-Fi, toggling a VPN, or resuming from a long idle state) to prevent device fingerprinting. • Improved background update delivery when using Tor by extending the wake budget to account for the Tor bootstrap process. • Updated the update dialog to clearly display a badge for pre-release versions. • Refined proxy management to ensure existing proxy settings are preserved when toggling Tor and to prevent conflicting proxy selections while Tor is active. Fixed • Fixed an issue where CDN redirects could cause infinite loops and prevented CDN nodes from using long-lived keys to reduce tracking.

*Warning:* Creating new accounts in the FOSS version not possible anymore, you have to create an account in the official build and then login to the FOSS. Client for the Telegram messaging platform. Chat with friends, start group chats and share all kinds of content. All of your messages and conversations are stored in Telegram's cloud. The messaging platform is aimed at mobile devices, but desktop and web clients exist as well. Several proprietary parts were removed from the original Telegram client, including Google Play Services for the location services, HockeySDK for self-updates and push notifications through Google Cloud Messaging. Location sharing functionality is restored using OpenStreetMap. Anti-Feature: Non-Free Network, since the servers run proprietary software. The official source code of the app contains binary blobs, so this tracks a fork which builds those from source. Hence, versions might become available with a certain lag.
