Description

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!

Alternatively, you may also sign in via your phone number, if it isn’t convenient for you to scan a QR code.

TOPICS^
Pigeon supports topics in group chats, for better chat organisation.

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.

CHANNEL COMMENTS^
View and interact with other commentators in a channel

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! Quickly view your newest messages with a tap from your watch face.

START NEW CHATS^
You can start new chat conversations from your synced contacts, directly from Pigeon.

SEARCH
Search for contacts and public groups and channels directly in app.

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!


*Some features requires an active subscription.
With a subscription, you would be able to go to the next page of the chat list, view older messages, send messages, reactions and replies, future feature updates, as well as to support the development efforts to keep Pigeon going!

^Feature requires watchOS 10 and above.

Pigeon is not affiliated, associated, endorsed by, or in any way connected to Telegram Messenger.

Note: In order to use the app without an iPhone in close proximity, an active and direct cellular or Wi-Fi connection is required for the Apple Watch.
