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, voice and video notes, as well as documents* that your friend or channel had sent, while also allowing you to send* text, GIF, stickers, voice, photo^ and location^ messages to your friends too!

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

Currently supported document types includes png, jpeg, pdf, mp4, txt, rtf, md, gpx^ and more.

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!
