aGram

aGram iOS — Version 1.2.0 is out Thanks to every beta tester who shaped these builds over the past few weeks — 1.2.0 is largely your work. It brings voice and group calls, a persistent audio player, system sharing, QR login, and a faster, more accessible app throughout. Calls • One-on-one calls are reliable: answer from the lock screen or with the app closed and get two-way audio, no more silence or drops after a brief interruption, and clean teardown instead of background battery drain. • Group voice chats (beta): join on a dedicated screen with speaker/Bluetooth routing, a participant list and tap-to-speak; admins can start and end. Note: group calls may not connect over some VPNs that block the audio path; one-on-one calls are unaffected. Voice and media • A mini-player above the tab bar whenever a voice note plays: play/pause/next, speed 0.75x–3x, plus lock screen, Control Center, AirPods and CarPlay. Voice notes can chain automatically. • Read texts aloud (Settings → Accessibility), in the detected language, with a per-language voice and adjustable rate, volume and pitch. • Auto-translate a chat (Telegram Premium): messages, captions, link previews and polls in your language. • Mixed photo-and-video albums now open fully in the viewer. Sharing and Saved Messages • aGram is in the iOS share sheet: send text, links, photos, videos or files from any app into a chat. • Your self-chat is now Saved Messages, pinned to the top, with one-tap "Save" on any message. In a conversation • Select several messages and forward, save or delete them together. • Reactions appear instantly, and you can remove your own. • "Go to source" on a forwarded message; "Mark as unread" across devices. Contacts • Contact cards shared in a chat now show the name and number and are read by VoiceOver, with "Add to contacts" from the card, a profile, or a new "Profile of …" action on any message — even without the person's phone number. Logging in • Log in by scanning a QR code from another device, and authorize a new device from Active Sessions. Forums • Topics load reliably, the unread separator and count match the topic you're in, and "Mark as read" clears every topic at once. Notifications • Tapping a notification lands precisely on the message — and in forums opens its own topic. Read state syncs across devices, and silent-push cases self-heal. VoiceOver and accessibility • Sent media is described properly (Photo; "Video, 2:33"; documents with size and upload progress), and file captions are read out. • New messages no longer interrupt VoiceOver while you read, the unread badge clears as you read, and focus stays put while you scroll. Performance • Much faster, cooler launch on large accounts — quicker to warm up, less battery, and VoiceOver responsive far sooner. Languages • Fuller coverage across all 13 supported languages. Send feedback any time via Settings → Send Feedback.

aGram iOS — Version 1.1.1 is out Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and shipped suggestions on the beta builds these past weeks: 1.1.1 is 80% your work. This release expands what you can do inside a conversation (full profile editing, channel comments, invites), hardens VoiceOver accessibility, and rewrites the scroll engine from the inside. Profile • Full editing from Settings → Profile: first name, last name, bio, username (with real-time availability check), birthday, profile photo with a face-aware square cropper. • Pick a personal channel to surface on your profile. Conversations • "View comments" on channel posts linked to a discussion group: one tap takes you into the comment thread where you can post text, voice notes, photos, videos, documents, or albums. All posts stay threaded under the original channel post. • Invite users to a group straight from the members sheet, if you have the right. The picker searches your contacts and by Telegram username. • Preview of a channel or group you haven't joined yet with a "Join" button at the bottom of the conversation. Bots • Bot custom keyboards (the buttons bots like @BotFather attach to their messages) render as buttons under the bubble; tapping sends the label as a regular text message. • Web App buttons open their URL in Safari instead of silently disappearing. • When a bot edits its message (async reply pattern), VoiceOver reads out the new version automatically. Audio and media • Carousel player for audio albums (multiple voice notes or audio files posted together) with per-track download progress. • Download progress also shown for photo and video attachments. • Audio file captions (text written alongside an audio file) are now read out by VoiceOver — they were silent before. VoiceOver / accessibility • Hyperlinks in messages: VoiceOver reads the visible label (not the raw URL), and each link is a distinct stop in the iOS Links rotor, openable with a single tap. • Pagination fix: on channels or groups with many unread messages, the toward-newer arrow now loads the next page correctly instead of stalling at the loaded window's edge. • Sender names render on the first VoiceOver swipe after a pagination — no more "Other" placeholder while the user record is still loading in the background. • Transient TDLib errors (network blips, flood waits) auto-retried with backoff before the offline banner surfaces. • Offline vs server error differentiated on the status banner, with a "Retry" button. • Bot inline-keyboard buttons reachable through the per-message rotor. • Initial focus locks once placed: no more rebound to the prior position when triple-finger scrolling. • Send permissions refined per media type (photo / video / document / voice / video note / poll): when the admin disallows videos, the attachment menu hides the video entry instead of waiting for a server-side rejection. Hardware keyboard • Shift+Return inserts a newline instead of sending. Links • tg:// and telegram:// schemes registered: opening an invite, proxy, or bot link from Safari opens aGram directly. Chat info • Links, media, and documents shared in the conversation are now reachable from the chat info sheet, in three tabs. Each row has rotor actions — "Open", "Play" (for videos), "Share" — so you don't have to drill into a visual menu. • Admin edit of group info, permissions, topics, and invite links for groups you administer. Under the hood • Conversation scroll engine rewrite: dropped flipped transforms, switched to a natural ascending layout, explicit FSM for VoiceOver focus. User-visible effect: fewer focus jumps, predictable scroll, better performance on heavily-loaded channels.
