Links like t․me open in Telegram X, but I use a different client — what should I do?

After updating Telegram X to version 0.26.8.1717, users may have noticed changes in how links like t․me, telegram․me and telegram․dog are handled. Starting from this version, Telegram X takes priority for opening such links, even if they previously opened in another installed Telegram client.

To revert back to the previous behavior, follow these steps:

1. Open system settings.
2. Go to the "Apps" section.
3. At the top of the page, select the "Default apps" menu. On some manufacturers' devices, like Xiaomi, this item is hidden behind a three-dot icon in the top right corner.
4. At the bottom of the page, tap on "Opening links".
5. Find Telegram X in the list and tap on it.
6. Disable the "Open supported links" option. If the list of "Supported web addresses" displays a list of domains with switches, you need to turn off all the domains.
7. Go back to the list of applications and select the main Telegram application.
8. Enable the "Open supported links" option. Tap "Add link" or "Supported addresses" and enable all domains in the list if switches are present.

The @tginfo editorial team is unaware if this logic will change in future versions of Telegram X.
