Accessible Client
Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Zerogram is an independent Telegram client designed for blind and low-vision users. Built with Telegram’s official open-source TDLib library, it works with your Telegram account and conversations.
VoiceOver labels, hints and actions help you navigate chats, groups, channels and bots; read, reply to, edit and forward messages; send voice messages, photos, videos and files; and use supported calls and live streams.
Explore chat folders, search, translation, notification sounds, storage settings and appearance options. Zerogram supports 15 interface languages.
The app is free to download. Adding multiple accounts is available as an optional in-app purchase. Zerogram is an independent app and is not the official Telegram application.
