Telegram has released version 13.0, bringing a set of interface, connectivity and video-message changes while describing the update only as bug fixes and minor improvements. The company has not yet published a detailed changelog on its official blog. One of the most notable changes is on the wallet side: the former Telegram Wallet service has been renamed Walt and removed from the app’s Settings section, with access shifted to the mini app interface. The update also adds web proxy support, giving users another way to establish a secure connection. In addition, AI bot replies now include a pause button, and users can report mini apps that violate platform rules. On Android, video message resolution has been raised from 384×384 to 480×480 at 30 FPS. Telegram also removed the search button from the bottom navigation bar and optimized the Liquid Glass visual effect for iOS 27. The company is also expected to launch a new crypto wallet called Gram Wallet, though it is not yet available to users. Telegram 13.0 now requires at least iOS 15, meaning devices running iOS 13 or iOS 14 can no longer install the update. The release is available through the Apple App Store, Google Play and Telegram’s official website.
