Why Pingogram

  • Material 3 Expressive

    Google Sans Flex, expressive shapes, spring motion and the Expressive components, on every screen.

  • Dynamic color

    Material You colors from your wallpaper on Android 12 and later, light, dark or AMOLED black, and three contrast levels.

  • Private

    No analytics, no ads, no telemetry. The app talks to Telegram and to the links you open, and sends nothing to us.

  • Open source

    Free software under the GPL-3.0-or-later. Read the code, build it yourself, help make it better.

  • Built on TDLib

    Telegram’s official client library: your existing account and every chat, in sync with your other devices.

  • Native and light

    Written from scratch in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with no polling and budgets for start-up time and smooth scrolling.

The builds with “-gms” in their names also use Google’s push service for notifications. Telegram encrypts each push, so Google passes on only encrypted data. Privacy policy
