Hi all, not sure if this issue has been raised before...
I'm using iOS 14.2, and I found out that there are major accessibility issues in the latest version of Telegram.
Namely, VoiceOver won't read anything in the settings page, as well as the buttons on the bottom after double-tapping on the edit button in the chats list.
Anyone experiencing this issue? Is it an iOS 14 bug, or a Telegram bug?

That's been an issue for quite some time. The developers don't care. Whoever makes an accessible client with their APIs will rake in all the blind/furry money.

If your phone offers it, Voiceover recognition can help you navigate through the settings a little better. Just turn it off when you're done there so the chats work okay.

It apparently costs you 5 dolars for the premium function of sending audio messages. I use unigram on my windows PC, for free.

I'm experiencing the same issue with the Tellagram app. Instead, I use Bright Guide, but it doesn't allow people to call each other or do a video call. Other than that, I would try that app out.
