About JTelegram (Jimtechs Edition)

JTelegram (Jimtechs Edition) is a modified Telegram client for Android from the Jimtechs team, the makers of JTWhatsApp and JTInstagram. It keeps everything Telegram is known for — cloud chats that sync across your devices, end-to-end encrypted Secret Chats, huge groups and channels — and adds more ways to organise and personalise it. Telegram's apps are open source, which is what makes modified clients like this one possible.

Highlights

  • Organise busy chat lists. Extra sorting, pinned conversations, conversation sections and faster message navigation help when you follow many groups and channels.
  • Make it look your way. Custom themes and fonts across the app.
  • Built-in translation for reading messages in other languages.
  • Star Messages. Mark important messages and find them again quickly (new in v16).
  • Contact alerts. Confirmation alerts when contacts are added (new in v16).
  • Chromecast streaming of media to your TV (new in v16).
  • Lightweight and ad-free, at about 59 MB.

Good to know

JTelegram signs in with your normal Telegram account, and your chats stay in Telegram's cloud, so switching back to the official app later is simple. As with any modified client, updates arrive as new APK files rather than through Google Play.

How to install

  1. Tap Download and open the file from your browser or file manager.
  2. If Android asks, allow Install unknown apps for that browser or file manager (Settings → Apps → Special access).
  3. Tap Install, then open the app and sign in.
  4. To update later, install the new version over the old one — you do not need to uninstall first unless the release notes say so.

Important: JTelegram is an unofficial, third-party modification. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by Telegram. Using modified clients can break the official service's terms and may lead to a temporary or permanent account ban. Back up your data first and use it at your own risk.

Frequently asked questions

Is JTelegram free?

Yes. JTelegram is free to download and use. There is no subscription and no in-app payment for the extra features.

Is JTelegram an official app?

No. It is an unofficial modification made by an independent developer and is not affiliated with Telegram. Official features and support come only from Telegram.

Can my account be banned for using JTelegram?

It is possible. Modified clients can break the official service's terms, and accounts using them can be restricted or banned. The risk is lower with a secondary account, and you should always keep a backup of your data.
