Hi,

I installed Telegram from the Appi and I got an outdated version.

Have you tried updating?
Appi can update.
Run Appi, select Telegram, and there is the option to update.

Let us know if the update works.

It doesn't work. I get a firefox window with the text: "No se puede cargar su perfil Firefox. Puede que esté inaccesible o haya desaparecido." and it doesn't detect the correct telegram version number. I get "3.2.5".

I tried to update, but I don't know what is the latest version of the appimage (to enter it in the text field). It claims to have installed 10.9.3, but the telegram app says 3.2.5. When I launch it, it tries to update itself. When I launch it again, it is in 3.2.5 and tries to update again.

Btw I could try to translate these strings to spanish and catalan when I'm more used to EasyOS :)

Running Scarthgap, I ran Appi and installed Telegram.

I have it on my Android phone, so read the QR code from my phone, and it looks like it is working.
It says version 3.2.5

The Telegram appimage was downloaded from here:

https://github.com/srevinsaju/Telegram- ... /releases/

...and 3.2.5 is the latest.

Telegram is also available in Flapi.

Uninstall the appimage first.

Thanks. The flatpak worked.

That appimage is from Nov 24, 2021! It is old... I suggest changing the source of the appimage or removing it in favor of the flatpack.
