Telegram Teases Upcoming App Tailored for Apple Vision Pro

Telegram, a major messaging app with a user base exceeding 1 billion, is making its way to VisionOS. Pavel Durov, the brain behind Telegram, teased a version of the messaging app specifically tailored for visionOS, the operating system custom-made for Apple’s Vision Pro headset.

The teaser provides a glimpse of how the app will work on Apple Vision Pro. Telegram is making sure the app stays in sync with all the design guidelines of the visionOS. The app features a translucent look, adding a sense of depth to the Telegram experience on Vision Pro. It also shakes things up with a sidebar instead of the usual tab bar, granting quick access to contacts, calls, chats, and settings.

Telegram for visionOS brings voice input into the mix for composing messages, offering a hands-free option. While the details are a bit sparse at this point, the clock is ticking, and with Vision Pro expected to hit US stores next year, Telegram has a bit of breathing room to fine-tune the visionOS app for a grand launch in the coming year.

Back in June, Apple gave us a taste of its augmented reality masterpiece, Vision Pro, with the headset set to hit the market in 2024.
