Apps Telegram officially launched for Wear OS smartwatches with 7 key features



Telegram for Wear OS is making its official debut for smartwatches. This announcement follows the recent launch of Telegram for Apple Watch. The company revealed 7 key features that the app is bringing to your wrist gadget.

If you own a Wear OS-based smartwatch, Telegram can now be accessed on it. The biggest beneficiaries are the owners of Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel smartwatches.

When Telegram was available for Wear OS, Samsung was using its own Tizen OS in Galaxy watches. Google was not in the smartwatch segment, which actually made Telegram for Wear OS irrelevant from a usability perspective.

Telegram took almost five years to revive its Wear OS app, but the latest version is a pretty refined application. All the supported features are worth paying attention to, which complete the aesthetics of the standalone app.

Now you can browse chats and media, and read messages of any length without risking to drop your phone. Feel free to listen to voice messages and watch videos if there’s nobody in the next stall. You can also send text messages — or voice messages, if your hands are busy zipping up.

For some reason, our Android developer added muting and pinning chats, as well as deleting messages. Meanwhile, the iOS developer added viewing locations and sending stickers. Why?? We will never know. We’ve convinced them to steal these features from each other in the next update.
