Telegram X is now open source

Telegram X is now fully open source. This release includes extra tools and measures to eliminate the possibility of client-side backdoors, makes code review and security research easier, and provides the ability for anyone to participate in Telegram X development.

• Each Telegram X version now includes information about the source code used to make it. This allows you to easily verify the code of the exact version you are using at any time from the Settings page.
• After you update to the first open source version, each future update will also allow you to check the new changes made to the source code.
• If you have an access to the installation APK file, you can verify that it was built by the Telegram X creator and was not modified by any third-party by sending its hash (MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256) to the new official @tgx_bot or look it up in the by finding it in the @tgx_log channel.
• To confirm that the source code inside the APK corresponds to the source code linked in Settings, you can reproduce the APK using the guide available in README and verify that the compiled code is exactly the same. Every public Telegram X build is reproducible, that includes all beta versions uploaded to Google Play Beta.

On top of all that, a public chat has been created for communication between the developers of Telegram X. A link to it can be found in the repository.

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.
