Telegram X

Telegram X: an alternative Telegram client

Telegram X is a social and messaging app for people who want an official, more experimental way to use Telegram on Android. It focuses on a responsive interface, quick movement through conversations and media-heavy chats, and a selection of layout and theme choices that differ from the main Telegram app.

What it does

The app is built around Telegram Database Library (TDLib), with an emphasis on fast message synchronisation and smooth handling of large conversations. Custom animations, swipe-based navigation and rapid media loading are central to the experience, particularly when browsing image galleries or busy group chats.

• Chat layout: A bubble-free mode can present messages with less visual separation and more room for text.
• Personalisation: Theme controls and alternative interface modes give users more scope to adjust the appearance of chats.
• Performance: The interface is designed to remain responsive while scrolling through long message histories and media collections.

Points to weigh

Telegram X suits users who value a lighter, more fluid-feeling client and are comfortable with an interface that may change as the app develops. Its experimental role can also mean that it does not always receive the newest Telegram features at the same time as the standard app, including some Stories or sticker-related updates. Those who need complete feature parity may therefore prefer the main client.
