Telegram has quietly resumed its official Wear OS app, with Play Store beta users now able to install it on eligible Galaxy Watch models.
The return ends a support gap that began in 2021, when Telegram dropped Wear OS entirely despite earlier availability on watches such as the Galaxy Watch 4.
The revived app closely mirrors the phone version, carrying over chat backgrounds, supporting groups and communities, and adding a shortcut to open full conversations on the connected smartphone.
Visual tweaks adapt the interface for circular watch displays, signaling a broader return of Telegram messaging features to Wear OS devices beyond this initial beta rollout.
