Telegram users have discovered that the messenger has begun displaying a warning in their contact's profile about using an unofficial client. The warning is accompanied by a note explaining the potential security risks associated with messaging. The service itself has not publicly announced the launch of this feature. Telegram has not specified whether the warning applies to all third-party apps or only to a subset of such clients.
The innovation's development became known back in late March 2026, when a new wording for the warning about unofficial clients was discovered in the official Telegram for iOS translation string database. Subsequently, industry publications reported that the feature was being tested within the official app.
The Telegram Info editorial team suggested that the growing popularity of the Telega app and publications about its features were cause for concern. According to these reports, the service is spoofing addresses. data centers Telegram uses its own servers and an additional RSA key, which is not available in the official app.
Telega was released by the Russian company Dal, later renamed Telega. The app runs on Telegram's open-source code, mimics the messenger's appearance, and offers additional features, including a Wall and an aggregator of posts from channels the user subscribes to.
