Telegram is out with an update to its iOS messaging app today with the focus being on its Apple Watch app. After Telegram’s version 5 update removed support for the wearable, today it has returned.
Telegram released the major version 5 update to its popular iOS messaging app back in September that introduced a host of new improvements and features. It was also built from the ground up with Swift. However, as spotted by AllThings.How, v. 5 also quietly dropped Apple Watch support.
Today, Telegram is out with an update with one main change, restoring the Apple Watch app. The developer also reminds users of the various upgrades that came with September’s update and that it also fixed some bugs.
Telegram is a free download from the App Store. Check out the full release notes below:
