• Added support for Tor in Settings → Privacy → Use Tor. This routes Telegram connection traffic through an embedded Tor daemon to prevent network operators from linking your account to your real IP. Media downloads remain direct for better performance. • Introduced a Reduce network tracking option in Settings → Privacy. This refreshes the session key every hour instead of once a day to make passive correlation of your device more difficult. • Added a Pre-release badge to the update dialog for early-access versions. 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 stable device fingerprinting. • Improved background message delivery when using Tor by ensuring the daemon is properly woken up for push fallback requests. Fixed • Fixed an issue where CDN redirects could cause infinite loops during file downloads. • Fixed a bug where stale proxy settings from legacy Orbot configurations could interfere with the connection.

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.
