Download version 11.6.1 in App Store
About two years ago Telegram removed support for Apple Watch due App Store distribution issues. I was able to patch and make it work.
What Classic Watch Companion can:
• Send Text messages
• Record Voice messages
• Send up to 8 customizable Quick Replies
• Send up to 24 recent non-animated Stickers
• Send your current Location Pin or nearby Point on map
• Forward messages to 40 recent chats
• Read up to 24 recent chats
• Read up to 20 recent messages in full-width
• Listen Voice Messages
• View pictures (in low quality)
• Quickly open Videos on your iOS device
• Be a little buggy :)
Of course, it's not the experience you're expecting from WatchOS app in 2025. It feels like good? old days, with no support for Animated Stickers, Forums, Reactions and everything else Telegram added in the past years. Therefore I call it "Classic Watch Companion".
I don't plan to invest much time into this companion, it definitely needs a massive overhaul or an entire rewrite.
It may be useful for Apple Watch enthusiasts, while we're waiting for an official alternative from Telegram (which, of course, will be available in Swiftgram).
Please, share this post with friends, cause Telegram does not show @Swiftgram channel in Global Search.
