Pigeon for Telegram

Before the telegraph, Pigeons ruled the messaging industry. Today, a little pigeon lives on your watch, bringing your messages across Telegram.

That little pigeon, is none other than this app!

Pigeon is a Telegram messaging client, built just for the Apple Watch platform.

WORKS BY ITSELF Pigeon runs directly on your Watch, without a companion iPhone app, so that if you have a cellular plan, you can chat anytime, anywhere, with just the watch alone.

PRIVACY FOCUSED Messages are communicated and received via Telegram’s official API, TDLib, to ensure the same level of secure communications, expected of the Telegram platform. None of your personal information is collected, so that you can chat with confidence.

FORMATTED MESSAGES Pigeon receives not just plain old text messages. Formatted messages such as those with bolded, italics, underlined or strikethrough are presented as your friend had intended.

SUPPORTED MESSAGE TYPES Pigeon also shows you the GIFs, stickers, photos, videos, contacts, location and voice notes that your friend or channel had sent, while also allowing you to send* text, GIF, stickers and voice messages to your friends too!

You can even zoom in on the photos, and interact with the polls and quizzes!

DYNAMIC TYPE The interface scales according to your Dynamic Type settings, to better fit your needs!

SIMPLE SIGN IN Signing in, is just 2 or 3 simple steps.

1. Using the official Telegram app, scan the QR code displayed on the watch.
2. If you have enabled Two-Step Verification, you will have to enter your password. Otherwise, you’re in!

REACTIONS, REPLIES AND DELETE You can also send* reactions, reply to, forward messages, or even delete them, directly in the app! You can also edit your messages. Long-press on any message to view these options.

WEB LINK PREVIEWS Did your friend send you a link? Go ahead and click on it, to open a quick web preview to see what it’s about.

PAGED CHAT LISTS Pigeon pages the chat list, such that even if you have many friends, you won’t be bombarded with hundreds of chats, all at once.

NOTIFICATIONS Pigeon receives Telegram notifications directly, without the need for your iPhone nearby. You can also mute chats directly in the app!

FOLDER SUPPORT If you prefer to arrange your chats on the official Telegram app via folders, Pigeon can sync and filter accordingly too!

COMPLICATIONS Pigeon supports watch face complications too!

MORE FOR THE FUTURE The Pigeon’s adventure had just begun, and it won’t stop here. More features and message type support are planned for the future!
