The topic Telegram brings back its Wear OS app after five years with chats, voice messages\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Five years after killing its Wear OS app, Telegram is reviving support for Android smartwatches with its latest update.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Telegram quietly dropped a new Apple Watch app and, now, Wear OS is getting the same treatment. In its latest update, Telegram says that smartwatch apps have arrived for both Apple Watch and Wear OS.<\/p>\n

This brings the messaging app to Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch for the first time \u2013 when Telegram last had a Wear OS app, the Pixel Watch didn\u2019t exist, and Galaxy Watch was still running Tizen.<\/p>\n

The new app supports a suite of features including full access to your chats, the abilty to send and listen to voice messages, and more. The Wear OS app supports muting and pinning chats, but currently lacks the ability to view locations or send stickers \u2013 those are on the Apple Watch version, and Telegram teases they\u2019ll come to Wear OS next.<\/p>\n

Now you can\u00a0browse chats and media, and\u00a0read messages of any length\u00a0without risking to drop your phone. Feel free to\u00a0listen to voice messages\u00a0and\u00a0watch videos\u00a0if there\u2019s nobody in the next stall. You can also send\u00a0text messages\u00a0\u2014 or\u00a0voice messages, if your hands are busy zipping up.<\/p>\n

For some reason, our Android developer added\u00a0muting\u00a0and\u00a0pinning chats, as well as\u00a0deleting messages. Meanwhile, the iOS developer added\u00a0viewing locations\u00a0and\u00a0sending stickers. Why?? We will never know. We\u2019ve convinced them to steal these features from each other in the next update.<\/p>\n

The latest Telegram updates also bring major upgrades to bot text formatting, links in poll options, markdown file support, the option to open links in external browsers with a long-press, and the ability to force Telegram to open specific sites in the external browser rather than the built-in one.<\/p>\n
