Pavel Durov's tough position on the protection of user data has recently increasingly become a reason for intolerance towards Telegram on the part of the authorities and large corporations. The messenger is blocked, removed from digital stores, and in some countries it is completely banned.
Apple recently removed both Telegram clients from the App Store, and now there may be problems with updates and installation on new devices. Unlike Android, iOS can only download apps from the official Apple store, so you'll have to look for alternative solutions. Fortunately, they are.
Lifehacker shares three ways to install Telegram in cases where it is not available in the App Store.
1. Installing Telegram X via Apple Configurator
This method will allow you to install the messenger via an ipa file using a special Apple utility for setting up iOS devices in companies and educational institutions. The procedure is as follows.
1. Go to the Telegram Beta channel and download the installation ipa-file by scrolling through the feed or using the #iOS tag to search.
2. Install Apple Configurator from the Mac App Store using this link.
3. Connect the iOS device and run the installed utility.
4. Click on the device image and open the Apps section in the side menu.
5. Drag and drop the previously downloaded Telegram X ipa file and confirm the installation.
6. After synchronization, open the Telegram X icon that appears on the desktop of the device and click on "Cancel" in the message about the developer's unreliability.
7. Go to "Settings" → "General" → "Device management", open the TELEGRAM MESSENGER LLP profile.
8. Press the button "Trust TELEGRAM MESSENGER LLP" and confirm the action.
9. Done!
Installing Telegram X on Windows
Apple Configurator is not available for Windows, so you have to install the ipa file via iTunes. Since, starting from version 12.7, iTunes cannot sync applications with iOS devices, you will have to use version 12.6 or earlier. The process for adding a trusted developer profile to a device is the same as described above.
2. Installing alternative messengers with Telegram support
In addition to official clients, the App Store also has a lot of alternative ones. There is a possibility that some of them will remain in the store and it will be possible to communicate through them.
For example, now in the absence of Telegram and Telegram X, you can download Loopy, Mobogram or TechGram. These clients are not inferior in their capabilities to the official ones, and in some ways even surpass them.
Other applications that support Pavel Durov's messenger can always be found in the App Store by requesting telegram.
3. Using the web version
Or you can do without installation problems altogether and use the web version of Telegram. It is accessible from the browser on any device, including mobile.
Follow the link and log in using your phone number. After entering the confirmation code, we see the familiar interface with chats, which you probably saw when you clicked on Telegram links on your computer.
The web version works pretty well right in Safari. Messages come instantly, everything loads just as fast. The only thing missing is notifications in the background, but you have to put up with that.
